Scratchy throat

Most of the people here have been having sore throats with elevated temperatures. I have been fine, but yesterday and today my throat has become a little scratchy. I think it may be psychosomatic, but in case it is not, let me say, RATS. And if it is not, and gets worse, people will be saying, Yes! She’s not talking as much.

Time will tell. In the meantime, I have decided to take it easy while time tells. That would not be a Margaret Thatcher decision, but it works for me. Ironically, I feel as if I want to “do” something, but that may be because I have already decided that I will not “do” anything. I remember having a tremendous amount of writing to do in a short time in Cincinnati and having an urge to really clean the kitchen. Oh, I could get it so shiny if I just didn’t have these articles to write . . . I don’t remember finding myself feeling like that in the kitchen at other times.

Well, maybe I will do this one little thing: put my favorite afghan in the washer. It is beginning to smell as if someone might have wiped snacking fingers on it a time or two. Maybe some with popcorn butter on them? The sun is out and it’s a little windy, so it should smell quite nice when dry. Yell if it starts to rain. Thanks.
