Slow Thursday

I slept all night and did not wake up because I could not breathe for the first time in that last two weeks. I irrigated my nose last night and got quite a lot of mucus out and I think that is the reason that my nose did not clog up on me last night.

This morning after reading the paper and eating breakfast I went outside and pulled some of the vines out from the garden in front of the house; these were starts from some of the roots that I did not get out when I did it a couple weeks ago. I will probably have to keep doing this all summer as the least little bit of root that is left in the ground and they start growing again.

After I finished pulling the vines, I put in eight solar lights; three of them in the front to lead into the front steps and the rest in the back. I put a couple on each side of the trellis with the clematis growing on it, that leads to the rose garden; one by the trellis with more clematis growing on it, that leads to the vegetable garden; then the rest I just put along the front of the rose garden.

Then I went back inside as I could feel my nose starting its running stage, so I took some more medicine to help elevate the mucus problem. The mail had just come so I went out and got it but there really was not much there; is it any wonder that I fill up a recycling bin with junk mail every week?

After a bit I got hungry so I heated up some of last night’s dinner for my lunch and then went into the living room and watched some television while I finished reading a magazine. Kathleen came down stairs and made herself some breakfast and then went back upstairs; she still is not feeling any better.

I called our financial adviser and let them know that we would not be able to make their program tonight. After a while Kathleen called me from upstairs and let me know that she made a doctor's appointment for each of us. I am starting to feel like pneumonia might be setting in. I cough all day and my nose runs; it seems like I always have mucus in my throat.

Alyssa came over with the children for a while this afternoon and while Kathleen and Alyssa worked on a project I tried to keep the children a little occupied. After a while they all complained about being hungry so Alyssa and I gave them some Cheerios and graham crackers which seemed to satisfy them, at least until they left.

It was dinner time for us when they left so Kathleen heated up the rest of last night’s dinner and some apple sauce. We are both too tired to really care about what we had to eat; we just needed something to eat.

Well, I am hoping that I can get other full nights sleep, even after getting a good night sleep I am still feeling really tired and it is getting pretty old.
