Recovering

Bonn's Tigger
July 2008 Outside Raleighwood, NC

Thanks to all of you who commented on my last entry about losing Tigg. Really, thanks.

Friday I stayed home with Bonn and we tried to keep each other busy to avoid getting too depressed. Bonn knew Tigg, who had precious little patience for such things, would not have approved of anything as intense as that (it might interfere with him getting fed whenever he wanted to be fed) so Bonn tried to keep herself distracted.

I followed up Friday by finally falling victim to the bug that I'd been fighting off for several days. When I say "falling victim to" I mean "it body-slammed me so badly that I spent most of the next three days in bed sleeping." I remained conscious long enough to watch The Amazing Race finale on Sunday night and that was about it.

Today, after the better part of a week the fog is finally lifting from my brain and I can start to work my way through coherent thoughts.

Bonn did a great job of taking care of me when I was sick. Now she's sick and I'm trying my best to do the same for her.

All of which has left me more than a week behind all of my Christmas planning. (There's always something')

Thanks again.
