On the edge of a great big sneeze

It has been a strange weekend.  Pleasant in most respects, but unusual.

My brother and his son dropped in unexpectedly and surprised me.  Bestest called yesterday and today, like he usually does.  My youngest son called to chat. I skyped with my youngest grandchildren; and their father, my older son, sent me beautiful pictures of the family outing up on Puget Sound.

I have seldom been so well loved and thought about in such a short period of time. 

In between all this love and attention I have either worked on transcribing, or sat half-asleep and ill in my big recliner. I have a head cold of mammoth proportions and no amount of steaming, or vitamin C, or Coricidan helps much.

I have almost no voice and even my youngest granddaughter mentioned that I probably had lots of germs!

If only the people at school felt the same way and stayed home when they had "germs."

I am going to Seattle for my birthday and Thanksgiving and don't want to be sick!

On the up side, I am seeing a new doctor for the first time tomorrow, but it's supposed to be just a well person check up and a refill of my prescriptions.  I hope that's all it turns out to be.
