Getting better

I’ve not felt well the last few days, some sort of virus, but I’m on the upswing now. Yesterday I started to feel a bit better and that increased all day. I’m still struggling a bit, but over the worst. 🙂

Yesterday, late afternoon, we had a big storm hit, it rained in torrents for a long while, sheets of rain angled from west to east –not sideways, but quite angled. Later the rain straightened up, and then lightened up and some birds started flying about through it, I noted. There was lightening in the storm, indeed one blast seemed to be close and I heard something go “POP!” inside the house. I turned off all the electric boxes (surge/strip to plug electronics into) for the TV/DSS up and down, as well as the desktop computer, unplugged the laptops, but I didn’t unplug the modem/router since I was trying to get a radar image to load and study (I was at home alone, btw) and there were no more close hits and I just risked it (as I would anyhow if we all had gone somewhere and the storm hit while we were out.)

It was nice to have the rain. I enjoyed it all alone. 🙂

It’s good to be alone when one is recouping, not horribly off, just still bad but inclining up the rampway to feeling better. I speak of introverts, of course (not that an extrovert woudn’t like to be lone to recoupe, but I can’t imagine they’d truly like it as I do for as long as I can, nor say it was ‘enjoyable’) and when my family came home hubby presented me with lovely cream/ivory color roses from Costco (something to aide my getting better.) Daughter and I had looked at the roses in the past, but more closely the last time we were there, last week. I noted to her some very pretty pink varieties, and white/cream but dropped a very large hint that if anyone were to get me roses, that very ivory sort right there would be the ones. She did well yesterday, told DH which ones I would want.
