I gave up

After feeling crapola every other day for the last two weeks, I decided to follow everyone’s advice and give up on the idea that I was going to get better on my own.  So, it was off to Urgent Care this morning for me.  I was there a couple of hours, and the verdict was that I’m now on a ten day regimen of antibiotics.  I sure hope it works, because I’m really tired of being sick and tired!

 

The day before yesterday, I emailed my sister that I just didn’t feel up to our planned two week excursion into Michigan at the beginning of June.  Oddly, she has not responded back.  I guess that means one of two things.  Either she has taken it in stride, or she’s stopped talking to me. 

 

It was drizzly all day today, so once I was done at the doctor’s, I spent most of the afternoon indoors.  I’ve decided that I’m going to do as little as possible for the next ten days so I can get rid of whatever ails me.  Of course, that doesn’t mean that I don’t look outside my windows…

Mr. and Mrs. Rose-breasted Grosbeak have decided they kind of like the Hard Rock Bird Café.  I have a Baltimore oriole at my hummingbird feeder along with a ruby-throated hummer.  Titmice and nuthatches have also been frequenting the feeders, but not long enough for me to get off a shot.

This afternoon, a thrush briefly stopped by the woods in my front yard.  It was a very brief stop so I’m not sure yet if it’s a wood thrush or hermit thrush.  Hermits are usually further north, but the bird didn’t appear rusty enough to be a wood thrush.  Perhaps I’ll get a better look tomorrow.

 

I finally met the owner of the campground yesterday.  Turns out the last people to lease this sight were here for about five years, and when they left, there was a lot of junk left behind.  I asked the owner about this and he said he’d take care of it.  My friend, Jack, stopped over last evening to see how I was feeling.  I told him about my encounter with the owner, and he told me not to hold my breathe waiting for the clean up to occur.  Well, what a surprise I had today when I returned from the doctor’s.  Just about all of the junk was gone!  I was pleased about that.  The whip-poor-wills have begun their nightly serenade, so I think I’ll just sit back and enjoy it!

 

Thanks for stopping by…. talk to you later,  Judy
