Dizzy but productive

Hello all you out there in blog land!

What a night last night turned out to be. I went to bed shortly after completing the blog. In a short time I woke and was sort of unsettled, could not get the mask to fit correctly and I tossed and turned. Finally at about midnight I slipped out of bed leaving the dogs to slumber on. How I wish that had turned out to be true. I came down and did an intense saline wash of my nasal passages so I could breath and took a slug of codeine for the persistent cough. Then I sat down at my computer and wrote an appraisal. At some point I heard the sound of one of the dogs getting off the bed upstairs. But when I finally went upstairs and opened my door the odor was overwhelming. Starr had a huge problem and it was all over my floor. So here I am trying to see the humor of the event scrubbing the floor endlessly in a vain attempt to save the carpet. Finally I gave up and went to bed. Starr said she felt fine and settled right down for the night. So did I. At 7 this morning I woke and in my robe came down and went right back to work writing appraisals. It was 3 this afternoon when Nikki called to lure us out of the house for pizza that I dressed. Of course both pizza joints were closed up solid so we ended up in McDonalds with the kidos and had a happy time.

I've continued to work this evening after whipping up some eggs this evening for Marilyn and myself. They turned out good. This afternoon it was chilly so I had my first fire of the season and what made it so special was this, the wood was from Jerry's backyard brought home in the motorhome. Seemed to burn a little extra warm.

Now its time to head to bed. I think to be honest I feel a little better than a day ago. I hope so. This has been a long ordeal and its extra hard to keep working when all I really want to do is nap. But napping does not pay the bills.

Sending love to all,

Tim
