Saturday

Well, yesterday was a decent enough day, I guess.  I didn't do anything I didn't have to do.  I actually managed to write over 2100 words of my work-in-progress.  (Remembered to turn on the word counter.) 

I may have actually done more, but Eler Beth is coming down with something, and about midday she suddenly decided that she really, really just needed some comfort from Mom.  She had a horribly sore throat, but her glands didn't seem to be swollen.  She had a stuffy head and was sneezing, but no fever.  One of her best friends had strep throat last week, but she doesn't seem to have her usual strep throat symptoms yet.  We'll see.  I doctored her up and made sure she was drinking enough; then we watched a movie and started reading Little Women together.  She's been wanting to read it, so we decided I'd read to her while she felt so bad. 

The weather here is still chilly, but not freezing.  I managed to get caught up on several more journals.  Pretty good Saturday, all in all.

Ah, the wonders of winter. Kids seem to spend the winter with sniffles. I hope she is better soon. I'm glad to hear that you are taking time to do some writing. Regards, Bill.

Hope Sunday is panning out just as good, Lori. Sounds like a cold got hold of Eler Beth, just give it a day or two.

All this weather changing and everything that seems to be going around, we'll all probably be sick soon.  Enjoy the time with Eler Beth.  I pray it turns out to be nothin'.  -  Barbara

Sounds like it was a perfect weekend. I love those weekends when I don't do anymore than I have to. Unfortunately this wasn't one of them for me. That's okay though, I had a nice weekend anyway and got caught up on a lot -- I feel much better and much less stressed now.
I'm sorry to her Eler Beth isn't feeling well again. This sure has been a bad year for colds, flus and viruses it seems. Hope she is feeling better quickly.
Hope you have a great week. I'll be popping in to catch up when I can.
Martha :-)

What does it mean when the glands are swollen cause my son has a sore throat and his gland was swollen yesterday and sore but today it seems better.  I hope your daughter feels better too!  Hugs and GBU, Shelly
