Achmed the Telepathic Rooster

As many of you know I am on the sick side right now with bad congestion chest and sinus. In fact getting up ( in complete darkness when I have a reading light beside the bed duh ) I tripped over the now empty vaporizer, hand outstreched to break my fall hit the sock, pyjama etc drawer, my body twisted and the dresser fell on me. 3 lessons, turn on the darn light, close open drawers and don't put things like a vaporizer directly in my path out of the room.

Last night I was having some trouble keeping hydrated. Whenever I woke I forced myself ( and I had to force it I did not want to drink swallowing is not pleasant at the moment ). However if I had not I am sure I would be much worse today instead of slightly better. Especially my sinus area. I could almost feel it re-hydrating.

Thats not what todays blog is about. I woke perhaps five times in the night which let me keep forcing myself to drink water. Also I woke from a recurring dream. Each time I woke it was from dreaming a rooster was crowing good morning. My mom has chickens but no rooster. The only rooster I know of is Achmed. When he was sick we all tried to help him as much as we could. I know there is more to animals than we give them credit. ( and less to us than we take credit for ). My guess is he was trying to help me because I tried to help him. May be total hogwash but I'm giving him credit the slight improvement I feel. Amy and Steve are about 5,000 miles away so that is one powerful bird. So Steve your pet isn't Psycho he's Psychic. Thank him for me please

  2. Everyone who gets even a sniffle right now is convinced they have H1N1. Maybe it's from my time in the Army or maybe because I have had so many different illnesses. This isn't even a cold. Maybe some broncitis ( a symptom not the cause, with minor sinus infection ) It's a bit below freezing out so people are mostly indoors. I tend to eat in restaruants. Being single it's not that big a cost diff because unless you eat the same thing several times in a row single folks end up throwing out a lot of turned food. The young lady that helps out with housework for me just came down with something much like what I have. Hope we are both well enough for the Magic show at Niagra Falls on Thurs

  4. Sid, pls do turn on the light when you rise from bed or have a long distance switch so you do not have to rise.Sounds like you have to have more tea. Is Jack Kerouac writing this?Pls do everything you are able to to get back to normal physically speaking. I have a book that is out of print in my garage that I allude to regrding dreams sometimes and I will check yours.
    Who do you know born in the year of the Rooster?
    I hope you make it to Niagara Falls and the magic show without your arm in a cast from smashing against a piece of furniture.Ye Gods!
    My throat is starting to tickle me.
    God Bless

  6. it's good you willed yourself to drink even when you don't feel like it. doctors always recommend liquid therapy when a person has a cold. but peeing isn't comfortable coz that means we have to get out of bed more often when all we want is to lie down as getting up makes us dizzy. no wonder you fumble and fall. you should have tied a rope from your bed post to the bathroom door to hang on to...
    are you sure it's not St. Peter's rooster you kept dreaming about?
    smile,
