We gave blood. Then we had lunch, and then went to the Botanical Garden. Then we came back, and I spent an hour lying on the sofa because I have the Crud: fever, sore throat, headache, joint ached.

Now that the Aleve has kicked in, I feel well enough to do laundry and stuff until it’s time to put Kathleen to bed, which will be early because she didn’t take a nap.

I can’t give blood any more unless it’s for my own use, as no one knows what CFIDS will do to someone who needs blood for whatever reason.

One of my nieces was told a few says ago that her youngest daughter has cancer cells in her blood again; it has been almost two years since her last chemo, so it looks as though it’s going to be another round of whatever they are doing for leukemia.

I believe she is six. Her mother just gave birth to a boy about five weeks ago, so dad is going with the daughter to her appointments.

Sad, this. They are asking for marrow donors and of course, I can’t help. *sigh*

I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, and I sincerely hope it isn’t that nasty flu that’s been going around.
