This is my first blog here on NotOverTheHill.
Today is the day after my 59th birthday. Neither my birthday gifts or cards weren't plentiful but they were nice and heartfelt. I received 3 cards and 2 gifts plus a birthday dinner today. But the gift I gave myself seems to be having the longest lasting affect.
(I hate words like affect and effect. They drive me nuts! I am never sure which one I'm supposed to use...ever!!) Anyway, I digress. The gift I gave to myself was the gift of a cold!! YUCK!! 
In truth there must have been something else I could have done. Anything would have been better. Ok, not anything. Going into debt to buy yourself a gift would not have been better and I am sure there are plenty of other things even more unpleasant I could think of but won't bother to list here. I would lose my audience faster than fast!
So, tomorrow I go to the doc to see what's going on. February 23rd I went to the ER with Viral Pneumonia so maybe I still am not fully immune to nasty little bugs out there. I live most of my life in a power chair 
so that means I don't get much exercise and my lungs don't breathe the way they should. I damaged a lung during my bout with pneumonia. This time it only lasted a month. The last time (several years ago) I got pneumonia and it lasted 2 months. I am giving my body a stern talking to. "This time around is it. I am done with being sick, ya hear me??"
I feel better now.
