My wife has had a long-standing cold that just doesn’t seem to go away. She manages to do some of her chores but spends a lot of time reading. Meanwhile, I just went on hale and hearty.
Then bam! Last week I lost all my energy. I first attributed it to splitting wood. lots of ice chipping, and a heavy workout at the fitness center. But no, my cough got worse and my nose ran a lot. I gave up on going to the cabin. Fortunately, we had a thaw and the snow is almost gone (in February, in Duluth Minnesota? Global warming is a hoax?)
Wait! If you don’t like the weather in Minnesota, wait five minutes. It is raining, the temperature is dropping, and we have snow!
My energy level was just sufficient to read books and newspapers. Let’s see, I got through both of Aaron James’ “Asshole” books, I finished another non-fiction book and got half-way through a fourth. Today, I just had to finish Lisa Scottoline’s Courting Trouble. Wow! Does it twist and turn.
Now, I have to gather all the notes I made from reading newspapers, sort out what I have already made blog entries about, and write something that is a different take on what is being published.
I hope i don’t have to shovel snow tomorrow!
