Long Hollow

It was supposed to be a taste of the next course in our life – Empty Nest. But if this is what it tastes like, can I send it back?

Not really, but…COME ON! TG was gone for the past few days – which means ALL the kids were gone…Tom and I had the house all to ourselves…and wouldn't you know? We both felt like crap-ola! His was a headache that wouldn't go away. Mine was the first bladder infection I've had in close to thirty years – and only the second in my life. That first one is why I switched from soda to water. I NEVER wanted to go through that again.

This one hit me out of the blue Sunday evening…seemed to back away yesterday morning… then hit me again yesterday afternoon with all guns blazing.  I think I'm on the "up" side now – I just returned from the doctor and my first antibiotic is in my tummy, hopefully waging war on that nasty infection…just in time for Kendall to be home in a few hours.

I have to admit, it was kind of cozy just cuddling (and groaning) in bed, watching crime dramas together – not my first pick, but there wasn't a big selection. I dozed as much as possible anyway.

But it wouldn't have been my first pick of an evening home alone with my sweetie. And I'm wondering what the heck is going on with my body! I rarely get sick, yet I've had to make two non-checkup trips like this to a doctor's office just since I turned fifty! I'm guessing there will be more surprises coming my way.

I just hope I start feeling better fast so I can enjoy the next few days with Kendall before we drop her at her dorm and our plate of Empty Nest really arrives. I hope the real thing tastes better than this sample.
