or at least my immune system is. I felt fine all day. I did the laundry, scrubbed the floor, worked over a test (and suddenly it was dinner time and I had written nothing)

Had dinner then felt suddenly exhausted, with a weird feeling in my throat, not sore, more like that feeling where yuo know nothing is going to taste good, I have a slight cough and am nauseated. whines.

putting the mouse into the netbook has not made things noticably easier to do. sigh.

Mom DID manage to get my uncle his mass AND a veteran's honors guard. That nephew was so fucking cheap with my uncle's money (which he's getting all of) that he didn't even have a tent or chairs graveside. Lucky Uncle was pissed because the casino saw the obit and sent a floral arrangement. On one hand, they were trying to be very thoughtful, on the other hand it's a CASINO and that just says hey big spender sorry for your loss. Persnally I just would have pulled the card out and feigned ignorance.

I'm not getting anywhere the last three days. omg

barely HAD a snippet of the day - Sverre waited until she was gone before stirring in the lumps of sugar she had given him, steadying it with his hand while using his hooks to hold the spoon. He'd never had sugar for his tea before, a little honey certainly but processed sugar was something his grandfather might have brought into the house but that was a few life times and a war ago. The sweetness of the strong tea woke up his tongue. “Mmm, this is good.”

I'm glad J was there to take care of the arrangements, but man, the nephew has probably just severed all ties to the family (he's now rich, he probably doesn't care, right?).

I agree, pull the card, don't let the public know where the arrangement came from.

Poor Severre, never having sweet tea....

yeah Mom is good at that sort of thing. Really.

He's nearly 70 himself so he better hope karma doesn't bite his ass

Sverre probably hasn't had real tea. His spice trade ancestors would have traded in it but after the war not so much. He would have things like sassapras tea or strawberry leaf tea

Really? It was sold locally at the tea shop we used to go to, and there are other shops that sell it around town.

it was blacklisted because its carcinogenic but i think they decided it wasn't THAT big of a risk. i can find an extract around here but that's it. For some time you could only get it from the Native Americans because they were exempt because it was used for religious reasons

I'm so glad your uncle got the mass he wanted.

I've been trying to write also, but it's hard. By dinnertime I'm worn out.

yes and I'm even happier that he got the Veteran honor detail.

Good luck to you
