Yep, it's a Monday
Feb. 25th, 2008 07:58 pmAs is probably my due, I seem to have acquired a cold. So many of my acquaintances have had them recently and what with my pretty violent changes to different climates via air travel, it is not surprising. Thus far, it has been a gentle cold... mild sore throat, a bit of coughing, a mild runny nose, some sneezing. Perhaps the Airborne is truly working. Still, yesterday and today I felt fuzzy enough to feel sympathy for my friends who complain that their cold sucks the energy out of them. I thought I should not do anything so dangerous as driving...
And yet....
See, T is basically a really good person. Far better than me. I just try to follow the example he sets. Yesterday, he responded to a friend in need and helped her move a bed out of the store and into her third floor apartment. I slept while he did it. Last night he asked me to return and help her return the bed slats that were the wrong size. T left me his truck for this plan. I ended up helping her move a new mattress from the store in the far north, driving to the far south of town, getting the new mattress up the three sets of stairs, drove to the far west, returned the bad slats and then delivered new slats to her apartment. It took about four hours, mostly driving. I got lunch but... I hate driving the truck. And the entire time I kept thinking that I was too fuzzy to safely drive. *sigh*
I'm sure I've built up some good karma recently. T says, "It'll make up for the orphanage you burn down."

Hope you are feeling better soon.
