I'm in good shape.

Yesterday I wasn't so sure about anything. My head was so out of it with the congestion I couldn't get a thing done. I repeatedly started to do something and forgot what I was going to do before I could do it. I tried to pay bills, but I would look at an amount and forget it before I could write it on the check, so after several aborted attempts to write checks, I quit. I was not feeling bad, except for the difficulty breathing and the soreness of my poor nose, but I just couldn't get anything done. I finally curled up on the couch with several cups of hot tea and just vegged.

Today is so much better! I'm still blowing like crazy, but I can at least put sentences together and remember numbers long enough to write them down. Now that all that is done, I'm ready to go and excited about it. I will miss the babies, but I will have a wonderful visit with Enid.

I'll talk with all of you by Wednesday. Y'all stay safe and hold the fort down, OK?
