Notes - spring / cold or flu /

         Mid-morning. You are out of sorts this morning and although the rains are gone and the sun out full it feels weather related arthritic physical funk. – Amorella

         Earlier you completed your forty minutes of exercises then mowed the front lawn for the first time. Carol worked sorting fall leaves from growing flowers, then you took a Potbelly picnic – taking your drinks from home and buying one large chicken salad on multigrain and a pack of chips, drove over to the usual place, Rahe’s livery and picnic grounds on the west bank of the Little Miami for lunch. The muddy and fast current river is up. Carol has begun a new book Mad River by John Sandford after deciding she didn’t want to read the one she began yesterday. You are both physically tired from the outside work. – Amorella

         1510 hours. Lots of yellow buttercups are up and the honeysuckles are popping more buds giving the bottoms of the woods a lime green hue. A few small patches of purple violets are coming up too. Carol just decided she doesn’t wan to read this book too. Time to head for home.

         Carol made scrambled eggs for supper. You do not feel well what with chills, aching muscles and a headache. You both watched this week’s “Bones” and are calling it a night. Carol is sitting on the bed reading and you are in the chair with a blanket over you. Post. – Amorella

         2051 hours. The chills were back after supper. I had a nap this afternoon and a hot bath for about forty minutes. It felt quite good. One bit of tingle in the throat, not a good sign either, then supper. Maybe I can sleep this off.
