AH SANIBEL

And the anticipation of a week in the sun during winter in Iowa.

And then……

Influenza A and the indignity of having had the flu shot!
Awaken with a rather ignorable cough.    and then Headache.
Wash hands.. Goopy eyes.. Cough until stomach hurts, cough drops.. Flirt with earache.. Headache
Wash hands.. Tired..Sleep..Cough..cough drops..Headache
Wash hands..Suck cough drops.. Do one load of laundry. Rest. Put in dryer.  Rest.
Fold the next day!
Wake up to snow and wind…didn’t know it was predicted because I move from couch to bed at 9:00 and fall asleep right away
Cleaning up means brushing teeth, shower and clean pajamas!  and collecting used cough drop wrappers and Kleenex and then repeating.

 

And in spite of it all we made it to Sanibel 3 days late and it was wonderful.

 

We enjoyed walking the beach, enjoying great food at wonderful eateries.

Mike and Jim bike and sometimes tell (tall) tales.

We lunched with Bill and Lorraine.

 

Sunburned and enjoyed the ocean.

 

Enjoyed Linda and Jim and their sharing of a wonderful island.
