I've maxed out. Closed this blog.

This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         The cold got worse Friday night and by Saturday I was a zombie. My father, in his 80's, came home around 5. He hadn't eaten anything but crackers all day.He sat around and slept the rest of the day. I did get him to eat half a bowl of soup around 8:30. He went to bed early. Today he's only come out of his room once. I'm worried about him. He has a water glass, and has taken his pills, so I don't think he'll get badly dehydrated. He's just sleeping.

         I feel bad myself, no appetite, headache, sneezing, etc., but I've forced myself to get up and about. I don't want him to waste away or have a stroke while I'm sitting here ignoring him. He has a lot of pride and is stubborn. I won't be able to force him to a doctor. He'll get mad if I call EMT's. I just have to monitor things.

         Then my brother showed up for an hour or two, and he's catching a cold.The second brother called; he's got a fever, chills, and is woozy.These babies are killing us. I'm buying face masks for the next family gathering.
