I have been doing a lot of nothing. I’ve been sick since Saturday. At first I blamed the two beer I drank the night before. But my headache and sore throat got worse as the day went on. I got the chills and all I wanted to do was stay in bed.
This definitely wasn’t the welcome that Laverna was expecting when she and her boyfriend arrived on Friday night. Laverna was in town to run Woodys. We went for a couple drinks at the local pub to catch up.
I was the worst hostess.
Still I was up bright and early to drive Laverna to the start and to hang around the sidelines until she crossed the finish line more than four hours later. Did I mention it was freezing cold out too? Let’s just say I put on a brave face.
Thankfully Laverna and her boyfriend were understanding. I wasn’t my usual peppy self. It was nice to see Laverna though. It’s been several years. She lives in Grande Cache and is currently training to run the Death Race solo.
I wish I could run right now. I won’t lie to you. I was extremely jealous watching all runners on Sunday. Steve and Brent both ran the 10K and had awesome races. Glad to see them both finish strong.
I spent my downtown getting caught up on Mad Men on my iPad. Loved the series finale. I also put in a couple hours watching Grey’s Anatomy. I have had enough mindless television to last for months.
Laverna left on Sunday after the race. I took a fistful of sleeping pills early that night. I must have slept for a good 12 hours. I thought that would put an end to my cold/flu but no such luck. I drove out to my garden plot for a look see. The cold air brought another chill to my achy body. I went straight to the grocery store and loaded up on grapefruit and soup. (I don’t have the energy to make soup by scratch).
So another day in bed. What a waste of the long weekend. All I can say is tomorrow is a new day.
Too bad you're feeling under the weather. I saw you on the sidelines when I was coming in. Hope you get better quick.
I swear by Emergen-C. You just mix it into some water and it really does the trick.
Thank you! Oh I didn't see you!
