Seems as if every time I update it’s to apologize for going so long between updates and to try and catch up! This time I do have a partial excuse anyway. My friend Buford and I went to North Carolina back on August 19 for a model car show and to stay for the races Saturday night. I caught some sort of stomach virus Friday night and instead of going to the model car show I spent all day Saturday either in bed or in the bathroom! I was sick from around 4am Saturday morning until late Saturday afternoon and even after the worst of the symptoms subsided I was so dehydrated that my legs were cramping whenever I would try to move. My friends checked on me a couple of times through the day and one of them brought me a bottle of ginger ale around 6pm to help rehydrate me. My cell phone battery died some time Saturday morning and I was too weak to even get the charger out of my suitcase and move a table to get to an electrical outlet, Buford did that for me before they went to the races Saturday night. I had recovered enough by Sunday to make the long ride home but I was still weak for a couple of days afterward. I did manage to mow the front yard later in the week but I had to take a break in the middle to rest and drink some water because I still wasn’t back to full strength.
The weekend was lazy, I ran a couple of errands on Saturday then worked on a model car project in the evening then Sunday I grilled burgers and hot dogs outside. I went out late Sunday evening to mow the back yard, I hadn’t mowed it in a month so it was getting pretty thick in places. One patch near a sprinkler was so thick I flushed a big bullfrog out of the tall grass, fortunately it was uninjured.
This week is passing slowly We were supposed to take Stepson out to dinner tonight for his birthday but he postponed until tomorrow. He apparently made plans to go downtown and meet some friends at 7pm, there’s no way he could fit in dinner with us tonight so he’ll get it tomorrow night instead. |
