I might be dying.
“I must have been snoring a lot last night,” I said on Tuesday morning. “My throat is really sore.”
Oh no no no. That sore throat actually heralded either the return of my ear/sinus infection (if that’s even possible while you’re on heavy antibiotics) or some new, evil ailment. I’m ailing.
Because I love you all, in between periods of deep sleep I’ve staggered to my desk to blog now and then, answer email and take care of clients. This morning I woke up, came downstairs with a smile, and said, “I’m alive!”
I was mistaken. I have that sort of unreal feeling of being underwater or inside of a helium bubble. A bubble of infection that is probably taking over my brain right now. Infection is eating away at my cerebral cortex and I am not long for this world. I googled my symptoms and the results said simply, “Buy a coffin”.
I tell you this just in case you always wanted to comment on one of my blog posts but haven’t done so, this may be your last chance. Don’t go through life with regrets.
This is not part of my plans, darn it. The Big Guy is going away to lead a retreat this weekend (the same one I went to last fall) and I planned to repaint my bathroom. I also have a fantastic idea for a new short story but haven’t got much energy to write. So I’ll just go back to bed and…

Thanks Fannie!
Josie, I bear absolutely no resemblance to a drama queen. No way. Never.

The problem with being over 40 is it suddenly occurs to you that you really might die from something. I think I’ll go edit some more photos….

In my opinion, This is something irrelevant with the topic. Hence not much need to comment.

Hmmm. Pr 18:20 “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.” As speaking spirits our words create any condition we desire. Be healed.

Suburban, ouch! I am getting old.
Collectibles, I’m a little confused about your comment, but welcome to my blog, anyway!
Wyatt, thanks for the wishes for my healing!

Ma Dear, that was not a wish but a commandment. (You)angelawd be healed!
Any how, You have a fascinating way of making commentary while turning a phrase. Your cold is interesting and intensely painful. But your seeing and writing about your environment is refreshing. aah, you know?

Suburbancorrespondent,
You made an interesting comment regarding thinking that you might be dying. When you stop and think, we started the dying process the day we were born. It just a matter of when that process will come to completion and what conditions are found present in our bodies at the time.

So true, Greta! But that’s a rather depressing thought.
