Low energy and good times

I am still under the heavy cold.  I'm trying to work,
but have to rest often.  And I have just the right
amount of energy for Twitter.  About a month ago
I bought a wonderful book Mrs. Queen Takes The Train,
by William Kuhn which I can highly recommend.

Today I was looking at Twitter, (I don't every day)
and I saw that William Kuhn responded to me when
I recommended the book to one of the people I follow.
After reading his deliciously written, brilliantly
researched book, he is one of my heroes.  So that
was definitely very cool.

True -- hot lemon remains the order of the day, but
it's a good day.

The picture is of my cat Fiona.  To anyone who says
cats aren't sensitive I say you haven't met my cats.
When one of us is ill, Fiona is right there.   And is
soon joined by my other cat Timbah.

Have an enjoying-life's-good-books day.

Beautiful August, horrible cold


Good cat with a good book

The drawing today is of my cat Timbah, my loyal
companion as I've tried to shake off what started
as a cold and progressed to what my doctor calls
walking pneumonia.  After three long weeks
of feeling quite physically wiped, I am now on
an antibiotic (thank you doctor) and can expect
to be back to my chirpy, zippy self in a few days.

My husband keeps asking me when I'm going to
blog again.  I've been looking at him in desperation,
first coughing, then with full blown laryngitis, and
then this lingering lack of oomph.  So okay Steven
and everyone else.  I'm back, and hope that soon
I'll make up for lost time.  Meanwhile.  Take care of
yourselves.  I have missed you and your work so much.

Have an enjoying-your-good-health day
