Blogging While Sick...

Well, the last post here was done while I was sick, so I see no reason not to do it again. I've had a cold/flu for about a week now. It's been mostly a fever with uncontrollable coughing Saturday, Sunday and today since I toughed it through the throat and nose stuff at work last week.

As I was walking Dot, who refuses to use the toilet for some reason, I paused momentarily. Bundled in hat and scarf on the sidewalk, breathing in the fresh cool breeze between wheezes, I saw a jogger through the trees in the park. Heard people in their apartments vacuuming. Smelled warm homey aromas of dinner stewing.

The days pass
if I don't write
you won't know
that I was thinking

I'm in a rut. People ask "what's new?" And I say "nothing, just working and sleeping." And it's pretty much true. There's not much new going on. One tiny thing that's different is that I'm working in a different department at AAA. I am now officially an insurance adviser. I help you manage your auto/home/flood/earthquake and personal umbrella insurance. It's very exciting, and if you know me, you know I love to learn new things.

Right now I'm watching a show about Free Masons on the History Channel. I'm also currently reading a novel called The Templar Legacy. Very interesting. There's so much stuff out there to know, it's mind boggling. I want to know about science and history and I want to create art and music. I want to grow vegetables and cook delicious cuisine. There's computers and philosophy and I want to do it all. My mind gets boggled and I stick to the two year plan of getting out of debt. Work and sleep, work and sleep. Nothing new, not yet.

'round the rock
trees the park
i walk the dog i walk the dog
'round the rock
trees the park
i walk the dog i walk the dog
past the rock
and trees that bark
i walk the dog i walk the dog
past the rock
and trees the dark
i walk the dog i walk the dog

Jen, you're back! I was editing some old bookmarks and decided to see if you were around still. What delight to find you here!
I have been sending Christmas cards for 42 years to an old girlfriend of my Dad's. She wanted to keep in touch with some "normal" family (God-fearing, believing). I send her a yearly update. God is using the small, the routine decisions we make for HIS purposes. Who knows who is watching us?
Dad is now long gone. The legacy lives on.
lovn' hugs,
Carol Kerr
ps...hope you're feeling much better!
