SIck in BED…with numerous offers!
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006I have been oddly sick in bed the past few weeks with challenging symptoms of cold and flu. I have been cuddled with my blanket, watching my window, by my bed, seeing the leaves fall and change its color right before my eyes. This fall weather must have triggered some blues in me.
My mail box is full, my answering machine is to its brink of exploding as it tells me to delete messages as it is full. It was bombarded by phone calls from this job I have been awaiting for, a position in the mental health corporate tower. My weak brain and aching body has only caused me to be receptive to return their phone call and procrastinate to give them a call back some other day.
My head was preoccupied with numerous things, the next jennifer aniston flick im going to watch, the out of this world cravings that I have, the next menu Im going to ask my husband to prepare for me, and my dog who is also sick, sitting at the end of my bed. Instead of me dog sitting her, she was "human" sitting me. For some reason, whenever Im sick, my dog is also sick..some sort of connection as you call it, I’m beginning to feel like I have the powers similar to a "dog whisperer"hahah
Last night, I received two important phone calls, one: Tita Emma offered to cook me my cravings "arroz caldo" and two: a girlffriend wanting to vent out, and insistantly asked me if she could bring something, so i jumped into the idea of an ice cream… Arroz caldo, ice cream + bonus chips and layered dip with matching freshly cooked peanuts…what a combo (I was in heaven) well partly of the food cravings, but mainly for the people that took time out to remember me when I was weak in bed. I started to feel blessed by people who took the time, not only to cater to my cravings, but to fill up an empty tv room and living area.
As I get better, my dog feels much alive too…weird but true, the other day she seem to be bothered by arthritis, now she’s up and running—-we’ll see what happens .
