9/15/09 Feeling better, took a walk, fresh air

I am feeling better.  Instead of running through a whole box of tissues (large) ,  I'm using less.  I'm coughing a little and have a light fever,  so I didn't teach or go out for chores.  

My sister had a health issue.  I was kind of concerned.  I prayed.  Hopefully it will be like the other scares she's had this year--no big deal.  I tried to call her a few times.  She didn't answer.  Finally I got her at home.  The doc said that she's not too worried,  but . . .  as always with docs she wants to do further tests.  So . . . I'll just keep praying  

We've had our driveway resurfaced.  So we are parking across the street and not walking on said driveway until tomorrow.  I walked across the grass carefully (canes and erose surfaces don't always mix.)  There was no good mail.  All junk.  But the walk was my achievement.  Then I felt more inspired to sit outside--usually I'll only do that if Luke is here.  I sat in his seat.  I like the view better in my seat.  He looks for the sun;  I look for the flowers.  

I'm reading a fun mystery.  Lilian Jackson Braun does a great job of her characters with not too much violence.  I like that and have read a number of her books.  This book,  "The Cat Who Smelled a Rat," takes you into Moose County--and folds you in with the characters who live there.   The main character, Qwillweran,  shares the stage with his detecting cat,  Koko.  I'm a cat lover,  so it's fun for me to follow Koko's antics.  

On "More to Love, " Luke goes against the wishes of his born again father and proposes to his Jewish/Israeli love.  I was  proud of him because he wasn't afraid to go with his heart.
