Kranky Granny’s poor old blog seems to have more time outs
than all the sports teams and misbehaving children in the country combined. My apologies for not giving you’ll a heads up
to the latest absence.
If you could have been a fly on the wall, of our humble
abode, over the last month you would have thought you were in a testing center
for fog horns. Thanks to the round robin
of croupy coughs that hubby and I have been passing back and forth. At one point, I called our doctor’s office
hoping to make an appointment only to learn that he was out of the office with
the flu. A few days later I caved and we
went to the urgent care center hoping for a refill of our cough syrup. We came away with a lot more. Turned
out we both had sinus infections, hubby had a bad case of bronchitis and I was diagnosed
with pneumonia. 
I’m no stranger to pneumonia. I’ve had at least a dozen bouts
over the years. While the medicine may help the pneumonia it
also puts me to sleep. So, I spent the next
ten days scaring the tar out of my husband.
He never knew a person could do so much sleeping. Eighteen hours a day
on average. I took the last of the
medicine Saturday morning and now (Monday evening) feel I have finally slept off
the last of it.
Last Friday was our Tenth wedding anniversary and we had
made plans to celebrate with a trip to someplace warm and sandy, but that never
happened. I’m just glad I procrastinated
on making those reservations. I did manage to get a small celebratory post on
Facebook between naps.
We did have one date scheduled that we forced ourselves to
keep. We had been making plans with my
brother and his wife to go visit their new place in the country for months and
the dates got rescheduled several times by both sides. When this last one came around we just forced
ourselves to put on our adult panties and tuff it out. Turned out to be one of the few sunny days
this month and despite having to down cough syrup every few hours we actually
had a very nice time. I even took my
camera and got a few decent shots that I will share soon.
