Old Age Day by Day July 30, 2013

Oh, my god, I'm really sick with this cold.  I slept better the first part of last night, but then the dogs went crazy and kept barking on and off for two hours, and I got up three times to let them out, and chilled myself, and feel exhausted and sicker again now.  I've just returned from walking them, and I intend to rest the remainder of the day.  I'm achy and my nose is running like a faucet and I still need Tylenol to survive.  My daughter reminded me that maybe I got something at the baseball game on Saturday, as I came down Sunday morning with this thing, whatever it is.  I suppose my sacrifice for the game is nothing in comparison.  They won, and have been winning ever since. It's a pleasure to read the sports page every morning.  My brain is so groggy I keep skipping between reading three books, all of which are mysteries so not too taxing on the old intellect.  My big treat to myself today is to go get Indian takeout if I'm able at noon.  Let the spices burn through this virus.
