Sometimes when I’m in the middle of something I don’t realize I’m in the middle of that something until I’m out of the thing, whatever it is.
This week I’m pretty sure it was the flu. I told myself I had a cold all week because, while I was sneezing and coughing, I was also ambulatory and able to get a few things done.
Today I started to feel better, though. And I realized that I had been staggering around in misery for quite a few days. Staggering around in misery is a habit I learned during the ten years I had no health insurance and no sick leave.
Fortunately, I stuck pretty close to home during the first part of the week when I was contagious. I crouched in front of my computer trying to design and code. My dogs ran wild, but I probably didn’t infect too many people. I am not the worst person in the world.
Yesterday I rallied. At the Sauk Prairie Farmers’ Market, I found these fused glass bracelets made by Delores Madigan, of D’s Glass and Jewelry Designs in Cross Plains, WI. Aren’t they lovely?
