Cold or allergies

I'm strongly leaning towards cold. I've tried lots of the usual allergy remedies. Man, I hope I don't get the baby we were with yesterday sick. So, another day of laying low. I would love to be abel to get outside and so something active today, but I'm just feeling too dizzy and crappy. Instead, I'm just going to camp out in front of the tv, on the 'puter and maybe with a bowl of noodles.

The dogs are missing spending time outside. This is an old photo, but another example of why the kids can't be left alone with our pets for a long period of time. Our sweet Palmer is just too obedient! I'm also reminded that I should use that camera more, time slips away so fast. Every day at clinicals the song 100 Years, by Five for Fighting would go through my head:

I'm 15 for a moment

Caught in between 10 and 20

And I'm just dreaming

Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment

She feels better than ever

And we're on fire

Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to lose

15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment

Still the man, but you see I'm a they

A kid on the way

A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment

The sea is high

And I'm heading into a crisis

Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you

Time to buy, Time to lose yourself

Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you

15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by

Suddenly you’re wise

Another blink of an eye

67 is gone

The sun is getting high

We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment

Dying for just another moment

And I'm just dreaming

Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you

22 I feel her too

33 you’re on your way

Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you

Time to buy and time to choose

Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this

When you only got 100 years to live

My stud hates this song, because its sung in falsetto. But I love the lyrics. Each of the people I cared for was an echo of this song. One woman in particular, who said "but you just don't know--you can't know you're not 80." when I offered her sympathy for her aches and pains will stick with me. Still, I'll be glad when we're done with geriatrics. I still have four weeks of that to go, and although these people have blessed and enhanced my life it'll be a relief to be done.

I'm hoping to get a lot done around the house the next month. This cold is not a good start!
