Chillin'

First - THANK YOU to everyone for your kind and thoughtful comments. They mean a lot - and I'm always grateful for your support. See...the community of triathletes and even those non-triathletes are/is wonderful. Also - for the many fantastic emails from friends and family...thanks. My replies may have been a tad, um, long - but I'm not going anywhere fast.

Still - thanks!

Things for me have looked mostly like this...
Me and two house monsters. Tabbitha front and center and Anabelle's rear view.

I know, I know - the flash (or lack thereof) is off. Nathaniel was trying to fiddle around with it during last weekend's concert. But I think we got it fixed. After this photo.

I've been parked on the couch. Literally. Parked. On. The. Couch. This having pneumonia thing is really exhausting! Phew! I have to personally thank my Mom for dusting the triangle shelves when she was here last month - from where I'm sitting they look great! And given my current state of boredom, I probably would have gotten up to dust.

Oh my.

But I've got two kitties keeping me company. Actually - they're fighting an eternal struggle for posession of the Most Awesome Fleece Blanket Ever (again - thanks Mom). I think for once, The Ugly Green Recliner is finishing a distant second. But don't you go and get worried: its still there, Ugly. And Green.


Now I'm just waiting. Waiting. Waiting.... ho hum.

I haven't practiced violin for a few days, but I'll get back to it tomorrow. I think I'll be strong enough to hold the darned thing up. And as I've got an entirely new concert of music to learn by next week's rehearsal - I had better get the ball rolling.

As for the training. Ah yes...that thing I so love to do and dearly miss.

Well - I'm no fan of junk miles. And given the fact that I lean up against a wall while waiting for our elevator, and find the walk from the bedroom to the kitchen tiring - I won't be doing anything too soon. But all in good time...that will return.

So that's the latest and greatest.

I think I'm going to have dinner and take my prescription narcotic medicine to help suppress my cough (so I can actually sleep at night - wonderful!). Appropriately I'm going to watch Pixar's "Up". Again. Ha ha - oh well. I'll blame the pneumonia for my weak jokes...

Here's to YOUR health and happiness - wherever you may be. And thank you again to everyone - you know who you are...
