wheezing and hacking and spluttering
Posted on | July 12, 2007 | Comments Off
we’ve had a miserable week here: maurice with the slooooowly-mending collarbone (no pain, at least) and myself with bronchitis.
i was horribly ill for two days, but quite proactive with the essential oils and fresh fruit and far infra red saunas and acupressure and herbal tonics.
i’m not at the market today, but with a fair bit of assistance from kind friends and family, maurice has gone down to town…..we had many special orders and i do not like letting my customers down.
i’ve been spending the last two days in front of a roaring fire, covered in sleepy warm cats, watching “upstairs, downstairs” on dvd (it’s gorgeous), eating fresh pineapple, and drinking hot tea with honey.
every now and then i gasp my way over to the barn and have a look at the red bike, which is sitting there untouched.
my brother removed the pillion seat for me, so she looks even more streamlined and dangerous.
i haven’t had a lot of sleep….the minute i lie flat, i cannot breathe….so i’m looking a bit scary, with black-ringed eyes.
i haven’t been making soap of course…it’s quite physical, all that lifting and stirring, and i am simply not up to it at present.
so, stocks are running a little low and my production lists for next week are truly alarming.
i’m so happy i got so much soap made the week before last; it has really helped.
i have to go feed the fire and watch more “upstairs, downstairs” (it’s addictive….thank goodness i have about 18 hours left to go).
