My friend Theresa told me about a friend she was traveling with who had a horrible time, but when Theresa read her blog, it looked like an entirely different trip because the friend sounded so upbeat. It’s a temptation to put a positive spin on everything. I admit, though, that I am feeling pretty whiny and sorry for myself.
A week ago last Tuesday I got a bad cold, and despite advice from friends, decided to keep going instead of resting, so I’m still sick. I have a horrible adult version of diaper rash which has now extended to my armpits, so I spend a lot of time undressed in my room in front of the fan trying to get dry and unirritated. Someone pointed out that wasn’t so good for my cold, and I’m sure they’re right! So do I address the rash or the rattling cough and headache?
The weather is hot again, and I am not accepting it gracefully. I keep looking at the weather report and praying for a respite.
