I woke up today with that terrible feeling in my throat. That's when you know your getting sick. So I called in sick, the day was full of tea, and relaxation.
The sun is getting brighter here everyday. All morning and afternoon I got to enjoy it as it streamed through our many living room windows. I sunned myself like a lizard sitting at the dinning room table. My colleague Kelly from Florida expresses she has never known her inner lizard until now. I can't agree more. It was a beautiful sight out the windows as the tide came in. There's no better way to recover from a cold than looking over a beautiful waterscape and sipping tea in the sunshine. Needless to say by this evening I was feeling much better.
Tonight we supported the Haines Elementary School 2nd grade fundraiser. A mother organized it, and cooked a great bunch of Thai Curry. She is conveniently Thai, so she new what she was doing. We heard about it in an email and decided to put our names on the list. We had to go between 5 and 6 to the school kitchen and pick up our food. All the parents were there, and had all helped to create the delicacy. The little 2nd graders were ushering people in to the kitchen, making sure that no one would miss out. When we got home and ate it, it was amazing. Nothing short of restaurant style. Delicious chicken curry over rice, I wished I had two helpings. I see now that with fundraisers these rural alaskans might not mess around like I thought they might.
I must say I am tired of being inside. I feel that I have been inside for several weeks now. About 2 weeks ago it got pretty cold, it's been hovering between 5-15 degrees F. Not the worst, but not the best either. I just long for a good walk with Fern, but the wind keeps us in the driveway, and the chill rushes us back inside before we'd like to be. Boo. Hopefully with daylight savings will come some warmer weather, and less wind. I know that logically doesn't work but I'm holding on to that for now.
