We spent all last week with the Flu.
I’m still a bit glassy-eyed from all of the screen time and am sporting the stamina of a fruit fly. Even so, I managed to put away Christmas; it had turned vulgar and garish through the haze of the Flu. I spent nearly three years with my new friends, the Bravermans last week. Knitting projects ebbed and flowed, with only slightly more stitches made than ripped out. A massive thaw uncovered our working wood pile. There’s much work to be done there, but it’s work for a creature stronger than a fruit fly, so it will wait. Meanwhile, the washer and dryer spit out a steady stream of Fresh Starts, taking the virulent contagion out of our bedding, though it continues to rattle in our chests.
I am so sorry to hear this. Mike had something similar over New Years and is still battling his cough. YUK! Glad to hear you are all on the mend. I pray it leaves me alone. If you need anything, let us know please. Take care,
Sorry about the flu. I am crossing our fingers, for us. We have had friends with it, and my Mom is a fourth grade teacher and plenty of her students have had it, vaccine or not.
I too, have a thing for the Braverman family. It is my treat after my three year old son’s bed time. I happliy put my Nook in bed with me, turn on Hulu and bring my knitting needles out. So much fun!
Oh! Goodness me. We have escaped this so far~I think it might have blown through the week of Christmas and we were happily ensconced in the fog, 42 degree highs and 100 humidity of Oregon. Delightful.
Glad to hear you are having some wits about you and those fresh starts are pelting you often enough they’ll take over soon enough.
And the gods be damned, woman, will you please write a book? I could read your words until the wee hours of the morning!!! Your turns of phrase have me dancing, mindfully, when no one is looking and even when they are. Good stuff, my dear. Always such good, good stuff. Thank you for sharing~
p.s. And from the land of the football brave, a “Good game” is in order~ I could feel the dairy fog of SF through the weekend as the cheeseheads came for a stay~now we just have regular fog.
