It's turned a bit cooler and breezier in these mountains.
It's been a week of terrible sadness for Israel and the entire world.
Another week of clown shows of politics from a bunch of Republican congressional members who care more about their own selfish self-interests than the good of this country.
And in a show of true selfish self-interest from me -
I have a terrible cold,
And everyone knows how terrible colds
Alter the whole system of the universe,
Set us against life,
And make even metaphysics sneeze.
I have wasted the whole day blowing my nose.
My head is aching vaguely.
Sad condition for a minor poet!
Today I am really and truly a minor poet.
What I was in old days was a wish; it's gone.
Goodbye for ever, queen of fairies!
Your wings were made of sun, and I am walking here.
I shan't get well unless I go and lie down on my bed.
I never was well except lying down on the Universe.
Excusez un peu… What a terrible cold!… it's
physical!
I need truth and aspirin.
And everyone knows how terrible colds
Alter the whole system of the universe,
Set us against life,
And make even metaphysics sneeze.

On the more positive side of things, I leave in just over a week for South Carolina.
Am I excited? You betcha (considering the fact that I should be over this nasty head cold by then).
Before leaving, I have a busy week.
I have an appointment to have my hair cut and streaked.
An appointment for a manicure/pedicure.
And an appointment with my closet and suitcase to decide what to take with me. Since I'll be driving, the sky's the limit! I can take as much as I want to. Dresses and Shoes, oh my!

I also have an appointment with my kitchen.
Donald and Annabelle will not be traveling with me, so I'll be cooking up a pot of spaghetti sauce for Don to enjoy while I'm gone, as well as making sure there's other things here he'll fix for himself. And a few special treats.
In other good news, I loved waking up to see pictures of Travis and Taylor out on a Saturday night date last night. ❤
Now, me and my cold are going to curl up with a fresh cup of coffee and a good book.
The book?
An ARC from NetGalley.
The next book by my pal Hank Phillippi Ryan, One Wrong Word.

I hope that nasty cold leaves quickly! You have too much joy ahead of you to be taken down by a cold. Sending healing hugs!
Thank you, Lesa. I have turned the "cold corner." Hooray!
