Precious Health

No Limerick this week.
Fever has fried creativity right out of my brain.
My Mama would have said,
“You look like the Wreck of the Hesperus.”
Translation: “You look like a shipwreck.”
Or she would flip the consonants,
“You look like the Heck of the Wresperis.”
Same translation.
Mama was funny.
She also meant
“Don’t go out anywhere you will be seen!”
Bob and I have Covid.
We feel poorly.
Still, this is an opportunity to
Notice Granular Gratitude,
The small things that are working.
Bob’s very sore throat is enough better that
He can swallow the large medicinal capsules
Prescribed for him.
We have enough tolerance
To be able to eat smallish meals.
We have a couch exactly long enough,
Where I can sleep
While we try to give ourselves “social distance.”
With blankets carefully arranged,
So comfy!
Scooting my back against back of couch,
It’s almost as though I am gently held.
Northfield Public Library delivers.
Librarian will pick up books to be returned.
And leave 3 books Bob has requested.
When I have a prescription to pick up,
CVS will deliver or do curbside pickup.
No picture this week either.
Sick people aren’t photogenic.
Like my mother said!
Sending each of you vibes for good health.
It is precious.
Hugs,
Lin
