I'm sick

Since I think I’m going to make it now, I’ll update this posting. I wasn’t so sure this morning. I woke up coughing, with a temperature and really painful sinuses so I didn’t make it to the Tri-District meeting and spent my morning in the Emergency Room. This was followed by a trip to the pharmacy to pick up antibiotics and nasal spray for my sinusitis and bronchitis. I’m hoping that by tomorrow afternoon I’ll be on the mend when the drugs kick in. I’m not very good at being sick as I don’t do it all that often and am too busy to slow down. I’m not planning on heading into work tomorrow in the hopes I’ll be straightened away for Monday when I have to do the orientation program. Anyway, enough whining.

This is a busy weekend in this household (as well as many others) as final preparations for lobster season opening on Monday are underway. There was a mechanical breakdown of one of the boats so the shore captain and #1 son have been kept busy and fetching parts and assisting diesel mechanics on top of all the other tasks. Add to this the final details for the house closing and it’s ratcheted up to frantic. I’m thinking I shall hire a neighbourhood boy to move furniture should it not fit into the marine schedule.

And the quote of the day is:

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
