Peacock of Flourish

ismoThe reason I feel so wretched lately could be that I have a cold. Or some sort of respiratory virus. My nemesis! I squandered another 8-dollar test to make sure it wasn't covid. It wasn't--not really a surprise, because I don't feel THAT bad. But it's good to be certain. So today I really haven't done ANYTHING. We still had leftovers, so no problem with dinner. The Sparrowhawk went to the store for the few things we needed. We are both in a mood where we don't really want to go out and face reality or see people. It's lurking time.
The temperature has dropped dramatically, and it is chilly at night, so I got out the down comforter again. The Sparrowhawk says he's sleeping very well with it. I'm still longing to get outside, but I just wasn't up for it. Strawberry Star texted me to say she forgot to tell me that the pow-wow was today, and asked if I wanted to go with her. Normally, I would have said yes, but not now. She understood because her husband also has a cold. I RSVP'd "no" to a baby shower tomorrow, then ordered them a gift. The Evite said 39 people were planning to go. I don't think I'll be missed!
It's far too early to think about Christmas, but I say that every year. And then, by the time it IS time to think about Christmas, I'm running around wailing "I'm not ready!" So I'm trying to change my ways. Even though it is only September, if I see anything that I think someone might like, I just order it. I'm hoping that by the time Christmas rolls around, I will have a small stash of potential gifts. Maybe not perfection, but at least something. Shopping online, perhaps unfortunately, is something that anyone can do, even with an unpleasant cold.
