Under The Weather…


 


Seem to be feeling a bit under the weather today,


Maybe the rain has something to do with it,


But seems I may be coming down with something,


Just not sure what?


 


Aches and pains in places I wasn’t aware I had,


Sinus troubles & a bit of a cough,


But I still go to work and suffer through,


Just so I can race home and write something for you.


 


Been taking the Tylenol just in case,


It seems to help me through,


Of late, I have felt, these days, that I am in a race,


A race to get home to take a nap,


Just so I can get up late & stay awake.


 


How long can I fight it off?


This “under the weather” feel?


Hopefully until the weekend when,


I can stay in bed & that’s the best deal…

Ed, even in your under the weather write, you make me smile...not because you are not feeling well, but the you are able to approach it with humor...its a unique ability that you have there...take care and hope you get to felling better soon.

My guess is you have the flu, plenty of bed rest, tylenol and plenty of liquids to drink. If your not better in seven days call the doctor. This flu that is going around can be deadly to some, wouldn't want to loose a friend.

I had to smile at the end of the second verse, Ed, the blast of such sweet truth thrilled me!! :) I love that you are that way, it gives me a warmth on a chilly pre-winter night, when I can't tell black from white. If you are interested in what may be coming, if you are getting sick, read my...um, sheez, sometimes I hate my forgetful mind, let me go find it...aha, I found it, "Cold's Clutch", maybe it will shock you out of becoming sick!! ;) I find this insight of you fascinating, I see you and Rufus in your big bad mobility home, cruising or not, just the two of you, the quiet, the searching of mind, the time to observe life itself...too cool!! Thanks, Ed, you are a wonder, a soothing pond of 60's flashbacks in the middle of a new century's hell, ha, just kidding, I was born a decade late, I don't have those memories, but I can feel them in you!...? :D

I've been feeling like that too Ed. I later came down with a sore
throat. I hope yours doesn't get like mine.
Take care.

Eucalyptus Oil to the rescue!!! :-)

I am a bit worried about you. Going by your bio I think what you need is to take a trip to the water that is near where you live. Even in the rain this trip might help you to feel better. It would make for a nice weekend trip :-)

You take care of yourself, you hear?? We do't need YOU sick, now, do we?? Make sure RUFUZ takes good care of you, and make sure you drink plenty of fluids, eat plenty of soup, and get lots of rest! Hope you feel better soon, ED! :(

(((LONG DISTANCE Hugs--so I don't get what you have!))) and much love, your Tx. friend, Karen Lynn. :(
