Eggs and a view


Please click on enlarge and zoom to see these glorious mountains

I'd say this was a pretty good view to have while eating a three egg scramble with mushrooms, spinach and zucchini... Server guy said there is usually twice that amount of snow on top. ... scary ...

I coughed and I hacked and I thought I was going to die last night. Seriously. I almost passed out from coughing up m'guts! My energy level is terrible! ...

I was to have checked out this morning at 10am. But I just felt terrible! all that itching and now this coughing! I took a shower to see if that would get me moving and stepped out on m'deck ... to get the river wind plus just the calmness of this river.

I laid back down and decided to call Maryann to tell her I was going to take a lil nap and if I'm not down there by 10 ... would it be all right if I just had a late check out. Keep forgetting the time difference and my phone keeps me on Central time which is an hour later. I called their time at 7am. The recording said they open at 9 ... sooooo. laid back down and decided I felt bad enough that I did not want to go boondock in Homer. I wanted to stay right here.

I tossed and turned and hacked and coughed until 9am.... I went in the office - note said she was cleaning a room... so me and Shadow had some cuddle time all to ourselves... haaaa... perked m'ass right up!

We had another great chat and we kinda sorta deduced it was indeed allergies and that she coughed last night too. Told her I think I need some eggs and potatoes. She told me of a little place down and up the hill - plus Safeway was in that same area where I could get cough drops and night time cough syrup. and so I did.... I paid for three more nights.

What a gorgeous area this is y'all. Estes Park. my goodness.

I came back 'home' and hit the sack. I just woke up an hour or so ago and still feel out of sorts but much better. I'm hoping that after a good night's sleep! I'll be raring to do whatever.

While I was still at Safeway in the parking lot, son's SO called and said the baby wanted to call me. We jabbered ... i ov u g'ma and well... the tears started. hurts.

Not feeling good made it even more hurtful. Then while in bed... I pictured myself there with Joe and she and my precious little baby and my son and ... declared again... it just won't work. I can not go back.... but it can and does hurt. The whys and the what's wrong with ME stuff and so on and so forth will be with me for quite some time... but each time, hopefully, I can 'go back' quicker to abate the hurt.

One day at a time.... I'm so tired of being old. i really really am.

Well? DWTS comes on and The Voice and I have no DVR! so I guess I'll flip back and forth. Need to catch up with stuff while I have wifi ... I didn't watch last week's shows and I've just been enjoying the sounds of this river and the peaceful mountain scenes that TV is an eyesore.

BUT .... I love these two shows. and that's good. looking forward to something is good. whatever it might be. I also turned down the most delicious pastries and PIE at this little place I ate.... and ... THAT's good too.

Don't feel like reading much --- I'll catch up on blogs tomorrow... hope everyone is hunky dory.

sigh

Life and its subsidiaries....

  1. It sounds like you made a wise decision to stay for another few days. Allergies can really make you feel awful, and can turn into something worse. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

  2. Poor you, I hope that you feel better soon.
    I think that you got yourself over tired and your immune system didn't kicked in but kicked your butts. It happens to me all the time.

    Those mountains are spectacular. I think that you did the right thing by staying put. You need a good day of rest and good food and I agree, take care of yourself.

  3. Your body may be adjusting to the altitude. Are you drinking tons of water? A lot of people have allergy symptoms here at Mesa Verde, someone said to get some local honey and take a teaspoon a day, I bought some today and will use it in my tea. I guess it has to be local honey, cause it will have the local pollen? in it. ???

  4. Oh good advice on Teri's part. Yes, local honey. It's supposed to do the trick. If not, it's still yummy!
