relapse, resting and writing

 

 
Pneumonia. I just seem unable to escape it. If I thought the first round was brutal... having a relapse is proving to me it was a walk in the park in comparison. When I went in to see my doctor Wednesday afternoon she was very concerned (for a variety of reasons). Grounding me to bed rest, another round of antibiotics, etcetera. The cough is just not going away, my voice when I have it is unrecognizable, just kinda garbled and hoarse. I really hate being this ill... when I could be doing so very many other things.
 
I think the best inventions since sliced bread are wifi and a laptop computer. Even though I haven't been up to writing, it's nice to be able to scope out what family and friends are doing via facebook in real time.
 
Reading online headline news which has ALL seemed rather prophetic this week with a solar flare canceling airline flights Thursday.
 
 
 
 
The US polar vortex occurring in the mid-west to the east coast. Who'd have ever thunk they would ever see the cascading falls of the mighty Niagra freeze?  Or, the freezing of Lake Michigan looking like some kinda of lunar sci-fi movie stage? Unimaginable and yet... they have. Crazy.
 
 

 
 
Today, we have the passing of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, 85, which I think, is a harbinger of a new age.
 
 
 
 
It's a good day to be inside as it's overcast w/coolish temps and a light wind. I'm watching our ancient cedar's branches sway rhythmically, side to side, just above the patio roof. 
 
Whatever you do today, enjoy!
