Hi.
Whatcha been doing?
I'll fill you in a bit, since I was last here
and so I can recall.
Record keeping
Online journaling
Whatever
Hasn't this been an adventure?!
So far, I've done a lot of weaving, Cleaned up bookshelves,
Cleaned out some paperwork and got some others a tiny bit more in order.
I worked from home, as mentioned somewhere in the past.
I considered cloth.
I cursed the man and his machines above my head, if only quietly or silently-in my head
Through much of the last few weeks, while doing all of this,
I've also had many days of migraines, many.
So, about 3/4 through the day on Friday, when I'd had a low fever all day,
it occurred to me that it may be a migraine fever, as I get those.
Long story short, I didn't really think it was.
After four days of sleep and fever, I called my health care providers for advice.
The dreaded call, ended up not telling me anything more than I already knew.
Monitor, wait and see.
Take care and practice social distancing
Everything we have been doing.
If the fever goes way up, like 104 or I can't breathe, I should call back
You bet I will!
So, here I've been, distanced
in the bedroom, alone, where there is no TV to lull away the hours.
This Leeds to he more interesting part of this post.
In some email, I'd gotten the link to
This American Life podcast "S-Town"
I popped it over to a tab on Safari, where it sat for days on end.
Until the fever
Until I had already read Island of the Blue Dolphins
Until I had began Ruth Moore's Speak to the Winds
(Which is also set on an island)
Then I listened, binged listened all in one day, because why not?
So wow. I had entered another world. Because I only had the link, with the chapters, and no background information at all (who knew this was a thing?).
There is much more to this story, which was eloquent in my head, but less so now, here, where I type on an iPad
What a story
What a world
Anyway, maybe someday...
Instead, I give you this, which along with some strong language,
Has some good laughs, which I bet we can all use!
Enjoy and do take care, each one of you are so important to me.
