Heart Strings, Hormones & Honesty

I've said this SO many times to friends... There's just NOT enough hours in the day to do all the great things we want to do.

I love to WRITE. My head and heart seem to be constantly "writing" posts to share with the world. I seldom see a thing or hear a song or ... that I my mind and heart don't want to write about it. As I'm walking, I write in my mind. As I quietly lie awake beside a peacefully sleeping LOML, I write in my mind. When I'm traveling in a car... when I'm waiting for a doctor's appointment... when I'm washing dishes... when I'm pulling weeds... when I'm taking a shower... when I'm watching a play or listening to a concert... I WRITE IN MY MIND!

Recipe for CAFFEINE After the Flu

I've spent the past 37 hours and 19 minutes feeling anything... but normal.

Sunday was wonderful. It included a 3-mile walk about with my neighbor friend, neighbor dog and our favorite "Little." It included about 4-5 hours of hard work with the family on our property (pruning trees, dragging branches, raking up fall debris, cleaning out the fire pit & getting ready for the next fire, and more). We even enjoyed a tea party on the grass with our "Little."  I couldn't have imagined a better day as we move from winter toward spring. The day got better though when I came in the house later (after completing a few more chores & shooting the sunset) and the LOML had prepared dinner for me.

It was all great until about 2:15am early Sunday morning. Let's just say that I hit the trifecta of flu symptoms...
