Yup...I'm in the throes of a head cold ! Whatever the source of contagion , it has taken up residence here ! Adding insult to injury , those well-meant stretches night before last have bitten my back ! What a picture...stuffy head,runny nose and seemingly plugged into the trusty heating pad...longing for the solace of a warm,comfy bed , time to nap and recouperate ! All this would be bearable were it not for my 24/7 custodial duties . My charge , you see , has no concept of illness nor injury unless it is her own . It is a challenge now to adapt, so required actions can be completed , but there is no other choice. The old days of Mother's cool hand on my fevered brow, gentle concern and the fluffy , whipped Cream of Wheat cereal and honey ,served in her best porcelain teacup and saucer are the stuff of dear memory . It is now my turn to see to her comfort , and rightly so . As she dozes now , I can write to you and do dishes (in between sessions on the heating pad) . Once the aide arrives , shopping will gladly be traded for a retreat into my unused bedroom to rest . I am so grateful for the respite !
So... take your vitamin C... wash your hands often...stay away from sneezing folks...and do be careful of unfamiliar stretches !! Have a brilliant day !
