I haven't deserted my blog friends, I'm sick. I like to update often but the upper respiratory infection I'm fighting really hit me hard. Right now I'm on day seven, with a possible seven more days to go. Sucks! Sucks! Sucks! For five days I didn't even have a voice, which for some reason my grandchildren found funny. 

I'm rarely sick, and when I do get sick it doesn't last. I can't recall the last time I was this sick, and for so long. The doctor said nothing can be done but to let it runs it course. So I've been sleeping a lot, and drinking gallons of water.
