Even the tinniest break in internet access has me stomping my feet like a latter-day Rumplestiltskin, so I am looking forward to letting go for a week but looking forward to showing off my photographs when I return. Your endorphins are shining through in that photograph!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-31563958977005592322011-02-17T16:33:45.962-08:002011-02-17T16:33:45.962-08:00Rachel: Isn't it great!

It's my own power outage that I'm most impatient at! <br />Susan: They're a good cue to slow down, right?<br />Metscan: Afternoon naps, especially in the winter -- one of life's true pleasures, absolutely!<br />K: Well, if you can't wallow, what good is being ill?! It dawned on me slowly, today, that it might actually be the flu I have, given that I was all achey last week, and now have a respiratory thing that is not really cold-like and that I'm beyond exhausted. Duh!<br />LPC: Thanks for the good advice. I'm trying to make the best of being sick. .. <br />Tiffany: I am sneaking in some knitting -- and since I haven't blogged any for a long time, maybe a post soon might be in order . . . <br />Terri: Well, I ran with half of them anyway, which was pretty wonderful. Can you believe there are another three who we haven't yet roped into running with us?materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-6808189468265564202011-02-17T16:20:03.146-08:002011-02-17T16:20:03.146-08:00I hadn't realized that you'd run with all ...I hadn't realized that you'd run with all of your sisters.

It might not be great blogging material, but it will certainly recharge you for future blogging (and you could get some bloggable knitting done).Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-55342590220621129392011-02-17T09:36:45.012-08:002011-02-17T09:36:45.012-08:00Oooh.

I'm starting to feel very sorry for myself. Not that I wish anyone else sickness, but it's nice to know I'm not alone :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-89158480715874056952011-02-17T09:10:52.423-08:002011-02-17T09:10:52.423-08:00I am sure that this short brake is just what you n...I am sure that this short brake is just what you need right now. You have been so very active as long as I can remember. Do enjoy the day naps. Just had one myself too! In these temperatures, sleep comes so easily, under warm blankets ; )! Please, take care of yourself!!mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-24080497721327330072011-02-17T08:43:53.548-08:002011-02-17T08:43:53.548-08:00I love power outages for this very reason.

I loved how quiet the house got and it was nice to go to bed by candlelight.rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05785476987530411665noreply@blogger.com
