Apparently I have used this title before so I really do feel out of ideas. With shaky finger syndrome and autocorrect, I am getting some interesting spelling of various words, which are not the words I want to type.
I got nothing done this past week at all with the exception of some work on my novel and that wasn’t very much. First half of the week was recovering from the bout of flu and the second half is pretty much out there for all to see.
I have puppets looking at me and I know the clock is ticking on them.
I have ideas for things I want to do for DragonCon this year.
And my table is empty with a bunch of things that need to be sorted out before the next project in a pile behind it.
I am drained to the nth degree.
I know what is going on but I am having trouble working my way back right now.
Now I have no idea when I can post this as our Internet is out again.
Yeah, Kath is down in the dungeon again and trying to work her way back to the tower where she can breath. And I feel like I am letting people down especially those who are waiting for me to finish stuff. I have a feeling once I get started on something I will be able to get myself back to level at least.
I am grateful for anything that helps me get out of this depression.

Yes, I have been quiet recently and I really don’t know if I am going to start consistently posting again but I am still here.
For those of you who follow Peter, you know what is going on and has been going on for about 20 years now. Our friends and Peter’s fans who are joining my list of people I would call friend have been helping us to be able to pay the tax burden that has come due. I am humbled by the outpouring of love and help that has come our direction and will never be able to pay back all this good will. I will try to pay it forward for the rest of my life.
Caroline is back at her usual school pattern with the usual after school activities. She is feeling much better and the cough is not bothering her anymore. I am slowing getting back to normal and feel like I can breath again with having to pause for coughing fits. We all went to the gym yesterday and feel much better getting some serious exercise in.
Today is cleaning up after the wind storm that knocked stuff everywhere in the back and front since today is going to feel like Spring again.
Tomorrow will be what it will be.
Personally I am a little numb after all that went down over the weekend.
My ability to write is not great right now and I am trying to figure out why.
I am grateful to everyone who has helped us.

I will tentatively say that I am on the mend. My head is not clear but clearer. I am still coughing but the severity is less along with frequency so I have a chance to catch my breath. And I feel awake this morning not like I forced my eye lids to open and my body to move. So tentative Yea!
Caroline was doing a lot better this morning and didn’t sound like she had a frog in her throat so I think she has turned the corner too.
Now I need to catch up on all the things I didn’t do last week and couldn’t do at the beginning of this week like laundry. I have a lot of laundry to do and it needs to be done today so Caroline has gym clothes for tomorrow. I have a little more leeway on that.
And puppets, I have got to get back to the critters. They are looking at me accusingly.
I have my schedule for LunaCon, which has a number of panels and should be fun.
We are seeing the sun for the first time in about a week. Hope that it brings some warmth with it.
I also know that I should not totally push too hard because I have friends who have suffered through this and found themselves right back in bed with the flu.
It’s what is called a balancing act.
I am grateful for my kidneys.

Having taken my morning medication so I can breath again through my nose without coughing up a lung, I find that my head is not as clear as I would like thus Fuzzy Brain like my head is full of cotton wool.
Last week was an interesting exercise in remembering how to do something correctly and convincing other people that I knew what I was doing. Everyone had a different way of doing sound. I was building it to my strengths and so we didn’t blow the audience out of their seats and they could hear the kids which apparently didn’t work for some people who might have hearing limitations so it was a bit of push me pull you until we got something that worked for everyone.
After finishing the show my body decided that the flu was next on my agenda. The past two days have been about surviving that.
Today I have to sort out my time between now and LunaCon. Since I haven’t shown there in a while, I do have sets of puppets that I can use. I might want to make one or two new things that will also go for DragonCon as well.
I have a clever idea for DragonCon this year but we’ll see.
Right now I just need to get my brain back into gear and out of the fuzzy zone.
I am grateful for each minute I am not coughing up a lung.

Caroline is currently occupying the longer of the two couches. She is sound asleep. This past week was not kind to her. Friday she had to get a nosebleed cauterized after two days of nosebleeds that would last over an hour. She sucked it up and did her show that night. She had been coughing. Saturday she had two cavities filled. Sunday it sounded like she was going to cough up a lung. This morning Peter made the decision that Caroline was staying home due to her health and she had basically been asleep on the couch since.
Why did Peter get up with Caroline? Because I have the flu in all its glory. Yesterday was a lovely day with GI problems, fever, muscle cramps, cough, and other unpleasantness. After lunch I went upstairs and slept the rest of the day away except for a few trips to the loo. This morning I am feeling a little better but still totally wiped from yesterday. I have been informed by others not to push it or I will find myself back in my sickbed for longer.
So this is a lost day or rather a recovery day for us. Not much going to get done except letting our bodies heal.
I am grateful for things that allow us to recover including sleep.
