WEEKEND 

On Saturday I woke up with a big cold. My nose was running, and I felt lousy ! I thought I should call my son and tell him not to come, but the thought of being alone and sick was even worse. So I called him and said I was sick and couldn't do anything, I couldn't even go shopping and my fridge was empty.

Fortunately he is a practical boy and there are no problems that cannot be solved. He did the shopping in Amsterdam before they left, fortunately, because they arrived quite late due to a lot of traffic on Saturday afternoons ! 

I was happy that they finally arrived, and the problem of preparing supper was quickly solved, he bought three pizzas, while I hang "half dead" on the sofa, with a mountain of tissues around me !

I had asked him to come and help to prepare the terrace for summer. It was still prepared for winter, Unfortunately it rained and it was impossible to fold the enormous plastic cover and put it away. We hoped for the next day.

When I got up feeling even worse than the day before I finally managed to crawl out of my bed and found the apartment empty. The two had let me sleep and had gone out for breakfast. 

To my surprise the cover of the garden furniture was hanging in the sunshine to dry and the chairs and table stood at their place ! They were really lucky, because an hour later it rained !

The time flew by and after a delicious pita we watched a bit TV and despite the fact that I still felt awful we had fun and let me forget that my nose was still running like the Niagara falls.

And then they left, I waved goodbye behind the closed window, and then fell on my sofa with the intention to watch a little movie and rest, instead I fell asleep and woke up 3 h later !

WEEKEND

I spent an awful weekend ! Never ever I had such breathing problems in my whole life ! Since about 5 years the pneumologist diagnosed that I had COPD. It never bothered me that much, when I had  breathing difficulties, a spray helped me. It didn't happen very often and I lead a completely normal life. I have a very good pneumologist and I do a check up each year. So far I am stable. But this year the air must be very bad because all people who are allergic to pollen suffer and have to stay inside. I am not allergic, but since 3 days when I walked or did the slightest effort like picking up a crump, I make the same noise as a steam engine and have to sit down and take my spray. 

Fortunately to go to Rick, I take my car in the garage and am not outside only the 3 steps to the door of his building. Unfortunately he was again very agitated and this time he had pulled off all designs grandson Toby had done for him and also all the Ferrari photos. I said nothing put everything together and put it on his table. No idea what came into his mind. It was nearly impossible to talk with him, because he jumped from talking about a train station to a prison, and wanted to go out. But when I asked him to walk a bit with me outside, he was tired and wanted to sleep and I left. And to lift my mood,

I saw a woman sitting in a wheelchair with a oxygen bottle in the back ! Exactly what I needed now !

We had our first Facebook meeting after the Covid circus and I really wanted to go, but when I came home I was so tired that I called and cancelled. I was angry with myself, because I have to be a strong woman, as everybody believes it, and I am also convinced that it would have been good for me to be with the group and have fun..  I ended the day by looking for a curtain which keeps the insects outside and then watched a crime story which was really funny and not bloody at all.

On Sunday morning I got calls to ask how the Facebook meeting was, and I had to say that I cancelled in the last minute, only to hear, that everybody was tired and didn't go either on top of all kind of different ouchies. I wonder if we now that the worst with the Covid pandemie is over it has transformed itself into the "sleeping beauty" pandemie ! 

The sun was still shining but unfortunately there was a strong wind which made it quite cool. I decided to make no plan, which anyway I often change and just let me go ! 

I started with my Blogwork  then had lunch with my TV, although I watched a short thriller apparently for me it was an excellent sleeping pill, because I have seen nothing ! I slept. After a coffee I felt better and wanted to print some papers for Rick. This time it was an attestation that he is unable to sign. Unfortunately my printer who had printed at least once, and made photocopies without problem, for printing the attestation it went on strike. 

I couldn't leave it like that! So I spent 3 hours with the printer, everything is fine now, only the stupid thing doesn't spit anything out. After that I didn't feel like it anymore and looked for photos for next week. Suddenly the afternoon had passed and I wasn't even done yet. So I've found out that I don't necessarily need to have someone with me, since I'm talking to people from all over the world when I reply to comments and read the posts. There was even a comment from Singapore this morning.

 Rosie moved out of her basket because the sun grilled her, of course I closed the curtain and she waited until it cooled down.
