Why is it that when we humans are sick we just want someone to take care of us, to hold us, and assure us that, "this too shall pass"?  


It all started the first Monday night in December, the very same day that the Pirate Husband came home.  He took me to dinner at our hometown favorite diner and I felt it coming on before we'd finished our meal.  This progressed until I spent the last two weeks of December in bed trying to get well.

I would have loved to have had the pleasure of spending the month with my husband and I lost that.  He left for Mobile, Alabama where Sixteen Tons was waiting for him on December 31st.  He planned that I would spend the first week of 2014 with him on his boat.  

Today I began the second round of antibiotics - and I don't even take antibiotics.  But something's gotta kill this super bug.   The Pirate Husband took the flu shot; I don't take the flu shot.  He's perfectly fine.  I'm fighting some strain that the first round of antibiotics failed to kill with its half-hearted fight.


Tonight I could use a hand to hold or to pass a tissue, a strong voice to assure me that I'm going to be alright.  

Hold me tight.
