Lost Weekend

[dreamshark]

Logging my activities for this weekend should be pretty easy - I'm being sick. Blecch. Started coming down with a cold on Friday, spent all day Saturday huddling inside, blowing my nose and feeling sorry for myself. Spent most of my time listening to MPR and practicing embroidery in my new, over-lit sewing room, or obsessively playing Boggle on my Palm Pilot. I mended a beloved pillowcase by embroidering an ugly flower over the hole, and developed enough confidence to start embroidering a large flower on my cotton-tencel jacket. Also managed to score over 100 on Boggle a few times (but only when I gave myself 6 minutes or more to complete the round). I'd feel a lot better about my Boggle scores if the program didn't remind me every time that I scored, say, 108 out of a possible 595 points.

Today I'm feeling somewhat better, but I can't take advantage of the suddenly pleasant fall weather because my fall colds tend to veer suddenly into bronchitis and asthma if I breathe cold air when I'm sick. I think it would be safe to creep out to the car and drive to my health club, the branch that has the steam room. I haven't had any exercise since Wednesday, which makes me antsy. And there's nothing very interesting on MPR on Sunday afternoon.

I'm sorry to hear that you're sick. A steam room sounds like a good idea. Please let me know if you need hep with anything while you and Richard are recuperating.

I'm fine, but Richard isn't doing too well. I'll tell him of your offer, just in case he runs into trouble when I'm not here. His foot seems to be a little better each morning, but then he bumps it on something and it gets worse again. I went down to Snyder's and got him a cane and an Ace bandage and he's managed to get through the day without hurting it again. Thanks for being concerned.

My schedule is flexible for the most part (dentist on Tuesday) so I'd be happy to help at need.

I suppose even with an x-ray there's not much to do beyond immobilizing the injury and letting it heal.
