I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed that it was raining. I was feeling a little under the weather and think that I had caught a cold. Friday I noticed that my joints were aching a little as if I was catching a cold. Late Friday night, I was sitting on the couch and started to run a fever as I sat there shivering. I don't know what I had, but by the time I woke up in the middle of the night, I was feeling a little better. By the time I got up this morning, I felt much better. I had a little bit of a headache but figured that was a side effect of the virus my body had been fighting. I also noticed that my eyes hurt a little when I moved them and my lungs felt exhausted. I am sure that this will go away within a day or so.

When I had woken up, it was still raining outside. It kept raining all day. It rained so much that the alley in front of our house was flooded. I was going to get out, but didn't want to wade through the water so I stayed home. It was a very quiet day as no one really goes out here when it rains.

As I type this, I can hear the neighbors outside talking. There is usually something going at the house across from us. There is a lady there who we call "Babercue Lady". We pronounce it the way I spelled it. This woman is always barbecuing something and on the outside of her house, she had spelled it "Babercue" and had a menu painted below. We had ordered food from her a couple times and it was good. Just recently, she had the front repainted and now has Barbecue spelled correctly. She also had the menu repainted and it looks much better. Well, it is hot pink, but other than that, it is an improvement. After thinking about this, I think I'll have to order from her soon. I don't think I have had anything from her since we returned.
