Get a little, give a little

Eric arrived last night in the middle of a game of Quiddler; his plane was only half an hour late. We are sooooo happy to have him near again.

I had a bit of a scare this afternoon, suddenly feeling a deep sore throat and jabbing pain in my right side. My temperature was up a degree for a couple of hours, but it didn't reach 38 C., the point where I am supposed to go to Emergency for antibiotics, so I hope that this was a false alarm and not the beginning of an infection. I am trying to be so careful, but there are germs everywhere, and I am feeling vulnerable again.

On a brighter note, the sun is shining and it feels good to be outside. I am just making brief sorties onto the deck, and not risking a full walk till I know what is going on with my body. I have received Flat Anne, a cardboard cutout doll, from the daughter of a friend in Minnesota. I will be taking Flat Anne around Toronto, photographing her at iconic Toronto sites for a school project, and hope that I can get most of this done this week, while the sun is shining and I am feeling good. i already have a photo of her in front of the house her parents lived in while they were in Toronto, eighteen or so years ago.
