“The next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are.” ~ C.S. Lewis
masked up
At last, I awoke headache and fever-free. This was an enormous improvement over the previous four days. After delicious hot tea, I was even bright enough to read one of three chapters assigned the first week of class (I got the syllabus, at least), but that wore me out. I needed to rest a bit. Then, I took a shower, and stripped the bed for laundry. That wore me out again. As I was catching my breath, Mom arrived at my back door with homemade biscuits and fried apples. She knows this is one of my favourite things, and God love her heart, she had bundled up in three layers of clothes and a mask to get the food to me. It was far past lunchtime and a visit, and boy, was I grateful for both. I put on my mask and invited her in to catch up on the last four days. I am so, so, so, so, so lucky to still have her with me and living independently. And those biscuits and fried apples? Best ever was. I believe I’ll be alright now.
