I hate being sick. Thankfully, I’m a very healthy person normally. I would make a really bad chronically ill one. I have been fighting this darn cold for a couple of weeks and thought I had it beat. We went to visit Ella last weekend and she was a little under the weather…gunky eyes and a runny nose. Guess I stopped taking the echinacea and extra vitamin C too soon. Anyway, at least Bill and I are both infected at the same time. I’m just glad that I have four days off to get better.
We are going into Boston this afternoon to see the play Dirty Dancing. Then we will stop somewhere for dinner on the way home. Since we are both really stuffed up we probably don’t have to spend much money on food since we can’t taste much.
Yesterday I spent most of the day working on replacing the fridge in the condo in FL. The renters didn’t have a working freezer. Just my luck; if it’s not one thing, it’s another. I was able to work with a wonderful guy named Tom at Lowes in Port Charlotte who found me a reasonably priced one that could be delivered today. What a lifesaver. It’s really difficult to deal with property located somewhere else, even though I have a wonderful management agency. Then I met with the real estate people here and lowered the price on my condo, down $10,000 from October and will probably have to go lower. Why do I do everything at the wrong time? Buy high, sell low…that’s my motto. Nothing like trying to sell property in the worst economy in 40 or 50 years. That is why I’m destined to never have any money. I can’t retire in October if I don’t get this place sold. It was a very stressful day yesterday and depressing, too. The box of nonpareils in the freezer did not make it through the day unopened. *sigh*
The joke at work is…at least you have your health. So no matter what the bad news is, that’s our reply. It makes us smile and for the most part it’s true. Now to get rid of this cold.
