JUST A QUICKIE JULY UPDATE

I feel like crap. I mean really, who gets sick in mid-July? This goofball, that's who. Achy, headache, coughing, sore throat, fatigue, blah, blah, blah. But hey, it's nothing that some DayQuil, NyQuil, ibuprofen, cough drops, Zicam, Onguard essential oil, extra sleep and extra fluids can't handle. Plus there's my sure will to get better. Ain't nobody got no time for no cold. So I WILL feel better tomorrow. I've been wearing a mask around Colby and also keeping my distance, along with washing and sanitizing my hands every 4 or so minutes. The nurse and I wiped down everything I possibly could have touched in the last couple days, so I'm hoping stays sick free. After all, he is turning FOURTEEN YEARS OLD this Friday. He ain't got no time for no sickness this week or any other week.

Took Colby to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 last week. I've been telling him all summer I'd take him, and we finally got around to it. I lucked out because it was at the cheapy movie theater. Also took him bowling with his St X friends last week. Colby actually beat one of the boys by 4 pins! I was on fire, bowling a career high 134. Dang, usually if I bowl 100 I'm doing the happy dance. We're doing a low-key birthday party for him. Just cake and ice cream with family and friends. My gift to him is we're going to the Indianapolis Childrens Museum over Fall Break. Just couldn't get it organized this summer, so early October will have to do.

I would love to share other great and exciting news, but we really don't have any. Need to start working on Colby's bday cake. My friend Nancy is helping me. We already know what we're doing. No, I'm not telling, it's a secret. I could go ahead (and should) make the buttercream icing ahead of time. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel like it. Sure isn't happening tonight.

It's 9:33 and I'll be going to bed shortly. Hello NyQuil and hello dark bedroom for a lovely night's rest. Like I said, I will feel better tomorrow. It's swim day and now way I'm not taking Colby. More soon.
