Guess Where This Cold Is From

I don’t know why, when I felt the cold coming on, that I thought I would be able to function during it. Every time I catch a cold, it goes straight into my lungs and messes with my breathing. Today Ariel had to bring me tea and soup, wash my quilt, and go to the drugstore with me. I really would have been a mess without his help

In spite of the fact that I was not able to leave the second floor easily, I did get a few things done. I got out my winter sheets for both bedroom and got my bed changed. I did a little more of the unpacking and made a list of things that just must be done this week. I rearranged my classes, adding one new one and taking out the two that I had finished. I’d like to step it up and get the easier classes done much more quickly, giving me more time to attend to the harder classes. I wonder if I can manage a full three hours of study time every single day. Is this asking too much of me?

It does feel good to be home. I certainly wish I has not started my first week back with the cold from hell, but it will be over soon enough, I’m sure, and I’ll be on to work and getting things done.

On my sister’s fridge, there is a saying that has stuck in my mind. We need to be able to put blame in the right places, and this one helps me.

the worst part of being lied to

is knowing that you weren’t worth the truth

Moving Right Along

Two and a half weeks at my sister’s house, half a week with my sister here, and her friend Bob fixing several things around my house. New dry wall in the bathroom finally, the squirrel hole covered up, the signs off the doors finally.

I, of course, had to catch a cold, the worst cold, just as the vacation time was ending. I need to get back to work and I feel just miserable.

I had been keeping a bit of a health diary, and I need to get back to that. Keeping track of migraines, stomach upsets and low energy days, as well as keeping track of what I eat, how I sleep and how much exercise I get.

I found a book on brain training and I’m anxious to work on that. Some of my classes are finishing and so I’ll be able to add some new ones without messing up my schedule. It will be good for me to get back to work and do some major catching up.

Christmas is just around the corner. I need to count what I have put away and get more things bought, ordered, mailed, etc.

I am getting back to list making and trying to find the right combination of work and rest that will allow me to get everything done.

I think high on the list needs to be repainting the now finished bathroom. YAY!!
