Jaipur

I've rarely worked in such a high key before. It's interesting and feels good to at least temporarily get outside of my usual palette. (I never even realized I "have" a palette. I don't think most people realize they do, until they [for example] take a look at their original-boxed pastel set and see that some pieces are nubs, and others untouched.)

This is how I feel about still being sick. (Rumi's not dead here, just asleep. Although he really looks dead. I'd never seen him do this before.) I thought I was doing a lot better, then came The Dreaded Cough. The Husband has been coughing too, even worse than me, so today I sent him to Urgent Care. He had an X-ray because his lungs were sounding suspicious. Turns out, he has the beginnings of pneumonia and was given antibiotics and cough syrup with codeine (which you'd think would knock him out, but no, he's far peppier than I have been feeling). When he came back from the doc, I decided to go too. Turns out I have just yer garden-variety bronchitis, post-flu. Cough syrup, rest, and fluids (plus kitties) are my Rx.

Wondering if I should get a flu shot next year. It's like the friggin' Black Plague chez nous.

I don't think both of us have ever been so sick at the same time. (I'm also still wincing regularly from my back injury. It still hurts to sit more than ten minutes or so. Have started going to physical therapy and it is improving a little bit every day.) Both of us so out of commission simultaneously is tough in terms of cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and dog-walking. Tempers are flaring.

But enough kvetching (for today at least). Onward, to some more India photos!
