Last night I was out on the porch watching yet another Springtime storm blow in. Suddenly the wind was howling, the rain was pouring, and the lightning was flashing one after the other after the other. I don't know what's so fascinating about torrential rain, but I want to watch it when it comes along. But after one extremely loud crack of thunder I was running straight through the front door in terror. I am thankful that we have come out of these recent storms safely.
I the beginning of a cold on Tuesday--stuffy head, sore face. Then Wednesday I ended up with a horrible sore throat. I thought the only way to overcome the sickness was to take 2 daytime cold pills every 4 hours. I apparently react oppositely to daytime medicine. I get extremely tired. I slept from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., except to wake up and eat or get a drink of something between doses. Thursday I felt equally awful--disoriented, heavy headed, confused...so I ended up sleeping several more hours without the aid of medicine. Today I am a little tired, and my ear barely hurts. But other than that I feel alright.
I finished "The Lovely Bones." It wasn't as creepy as the movie. I downloaded a sample version of "Beastly" to look at for today. I will decide whether or not to order the whole version. I would like to have a nice book to read this weekend since it's supposed to be SUNNY!
I can't wait until tomorrow morning. I am going on a long jog. (i.e. more than a mile). I have decided that jogging slowly for a long distance is just as good as running as fast as I can. I have trouble breathing when I sprint, but I feel just as good after a long jog. I am pleased with myself for not wearing earbuds to entertain myself.
This is a good weekend coming up--hotdogs, hamburgers, macaroni salad, sweet tea, and lemonade. I'll have to break out my 5 gallon drink server that I still have in the box. I have some lemons I can cut up to decorate the drink. Hopefully I can get some sort of tan while I'm outside. Everything I read points to the fact that the sun causes, premature wrinking, dark spots, and skin cancer. So, I can limit my sun exposure to a certain extent. But I can't seem to talk myself into staying inside during the prettiest part of a Saturday.
Until next time...
