I’m so rarely sick and I’m an awful patient. All I want to do is sleep and that’s really all I’ve done for the past almost five days. Today I had a haircut appointment that I had already cancelled twice and I was looking pretty shaggy. I hadn’t had fever in well over 24 hours and I really wanted/needed that hair cut. I got up this morning, took a sower and told Vince I was going back to bed for one hour. Got up, got dressed and though I would have rather been back in bed, I went and got my hair cut. Came home and Vince said he wanted to take me out (It’s my birthday!) so we went and had Mexican then . . I should have known . . we went to Walmart, we went to Home Depot, we went to CVS and we went to the hospital because he was still finalizing his insurance change (from employer to Medicare) so he could get back to going to Cardiac Rehab. It’s too hot for me to sit in the car so I went in at Walmart and Home Depot. By the time we got to CVS, I said . . no . . I’m staying in the car. If I die . . I die!
He said the hospital might take a few minutes so I could sit in the waiting room and knit. When we got home, I went to bed and slept for almost three hours.
Why did I fall for that “birthday lunch” trick?
It feels good to feel good. I actually went out and watered a few trees this evening. Maybe tomorrow I can stay awake all day!

Wanda says
Belated happy birthday Judy. I’m so sorry you got sick after going to see your kids. Maybe you and Vince are allergic to something in Missouri.
Just 7 is my daughter’s birthday . I had no idea yours was the 6th. We are in anchorage celebrating hers . She was born here and I brought her back this year so she could see her birth place. r
You and Vince need to come . It is a beautiful place. You can get good deals to come so not so expensive. Wilderness plus city best of both worlds.
Again Happy birthday and really hope you are on the mends.
Xxxoo, Wanda from Montgomery tx

Happy Belated Birthday. I’ve found that HomeDepot and Walmart have comfortable seating in the patio furniture area for when Bob is on a mission and I just want to rest and read. I have the Kindle app on my phone so I’m always prepared for the ‘unscheduled’ stops LOL Glad you’re feeling better.
Liz says
Happy Belated Birthday!
Glad you are feeling better – my attitude is if your body tells you to sleep, then sleep! It’s healing itself.
Jackie says

Happy birthday!! a little late. I do no get your posts until the next day. Mexican food is the way to celebrate for me.
I keep magazines in the car and truck so I always have something to read and for him, too.
Nelle Coursey says
Happy Birthday Judy! I hope you get to feeling better soon. It is terrible to have a cold in the summer. You just go to bed and rest when you need it. Your body is telling you to slow down and rest. Sorry Vince doesn’t get it. You need to heal yourself. We never realize how bad we feel sometimes until we actually do get sick.
Laura says
Happy belated birthday! I’m a June baby too.
Joyce says
