September 12th, 2007 - Once again, happy we keep things simple
Two weeks ago, I started getting sick–a horrendous sore throat due to allergies I figure. By Sunday, I couldn’t talk above a whisper–laryngitis. Tues and Wed I went to work for a total of 5 hours–and only went in because school started up again and I couldn’t imagine not going in. On Wed I finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with bronchitis, and possibly a recurrence of the strep throat we had 3 weeks before. I stayed home the rest of the week. On Saturday, I was finally able to talk again, but not much. It’s Wednesday and I’m still coughing when I talk. :(
After working a full day Monday, all I wanted to do was curl up on the sofa with a book, or even to fall asleep. As I said to Eric, I’m so glad our lives aren’t cluttered with a ton of committments. I could curl up on the sofa without any concerns.
(Except the garden. It’s so neglected right now and the tomatoes and beans are so ready for picking. But now that I’m starting to feel better, the weather is damp and cold and I have no desire in my still weak state to subject my lungs to that. Perhaps this evening….)

Thanks for the apple-picking tip! We went to one around here last year…I think Apple Creek Farm? No…I dunno…something “Creek” farm near Freedom.
Anyway - yes, I do need to do that! Did the bushel last the whole winter raw - like did you use those to make applesauce/can or was that just the whole winter…how did you get them to last that long? Don’t they go bad?
Do you know of any organic apple orchards around here? That’s part of what stopped me…I worry about the pesticides.
But I’d love to do that - plus it’s an easy/cheap date/activity and you’re getting reasonable groceries!
Anyway - I do hope you’re feeling better, that stinks to feel such crappy!
