****It’s the end of Wednesday. You know, I wrote half my story for this week before I ran out of steam. *sigh* I guess I’ll try for two words next week. I’ve never missed a battle yet, so this is disappointing, but that’s life and illness. I’m feeling better today. Bronchitis hit me like a ton of bricks. Today I was able to do a lot and was even hungry! I haven’t been hungry in a week, so that’s great news. 🙂 Now I want to write. That’s even better news because I didn’t want to write either. Sick sucks. Sick is not cool, great, or otherwise, so I suggest the youth of today not take up or continue the use of that word for such oxymoronic expletives. That’s my two cents for the day. Salut!
