Have we got the flu?



Hello dear friends,
J woke up this morning with a temperature. And caugh. And a sore throat. And I got up with a headache. Does it mean we've got the flu? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps!
Schools are all shut down as of yesterday. ALL of the schools in the region.
I'm right now holding the fort at the shop, while C and the girls are shaping up J's bedroom. It's not exactly a quarantine, but he ought to and does need to spend more time there, anyway. I am told they just put up his new curtains. They have been on the making for a year now! And a new cover for his bed. I'm not sure it will be picture worthy, but if it is, I'll show you a glimpse.
We are redecorating the shop for Christmas on Monday and Tuesday. I hope I'll be in a position to do so by then. Most of the furniture is here but I miss quite a lot of the linen.
Yesterday I woke up early, by myself. I did 10 min yoga, then 30 min on the treadmill. It felt great!
I have began reading Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue: An American Life. I find the insight fascinating and the reading is flowing. I admire women who follow their vision. Doing so in politics is even harder. I am also reading High Wages by Dorothy Whipple. I haven't read a novel that kept me reading on in quite some time. I did a course on the Industrial Revolution in College and the cotton mills and all that time come so alive in this book! I want to listen to I Dreamed A Dream by Susan Bolyle. What a voice she has!
There. That's what is going on here. Sending you good wishes and kind thoughts. Talk to you soon!
