The Blogger Approaches Death’s Door
Table of contents for 10/Writing
I am not sure what I have anymore. Maybe it is a fatal flu virus. I don’t have a fever but the pain in my ribs every time I cough is terrible. And I am terribly congested. What an awful end to a wonderful vacation.
But even more than that it is an awful end to a wonderful life full of so many things. All of the problems encountered down through the decades seem so insignificant now. I just want to take time now to say “Sorry” to all those people I disappointed or hurt in some way. Since most of you are still here on earth I will try to make it to the Welcoming Party when you cross over. Since there may not be very many people there I know you will appreciate seeing anybody who shows up.
And I would like to say to my beloved German Shepherds Sparky and Malarkey “Thanks” for guarding the house when we go away. I have not seen the remains of too many bloggers in the yard in a long time. So the message must have gotten out. And it is so nice to come home to a nice looking lawn and a house that doesn’t have blood splatters on the siding.
I feel so dizzy and sit here dreading the next time I will need to cough. I have this small vibrator that is used for muscle cramps I promise and have been vibrating my throat in an attempt to numb the cough reflex. It seems to be working and helped me fall asleep last night. Unfortunately I fell asleep without turning off the machine and it continued on for hours while overheating and nearly burning a hole in the bed and my neck. So my funeral pyre is already in place and all we are doing is waiting for the correct astrological moment to send the blogger off to his just reward.
“And what might that reward be? ” you might ask. And I don’t blame you for asking because it certainly is an interesting question in my view. But I do not have the answer. All I know pretty much for sure is that this evil cold will be Left Behind. The pain will depart and I will be floating around above the blogger’s body trying to figure out how to get into the next room. Because the doors don’t go all the way up to the ceiling.
So now I must go back to bed for the tenth time today. Thank you for all the encouraging words that have come in since I became deathly ill yesterday. Hopefully this bug will not come to see you. Hopefully it is a Washington DC bug and it germinated in the US Capitol where it fed on politician for awhile. I knew we shouldn’t have gone near that building.
