It’s a lazy and sunny Sunday in Dobrzyn, but I’m sad to report that Professor Ceiling Cat’s lurgy has turned into a Terribly Bad Cold, with the usual symptoms, but exaggerated, and a constant cough that kept him up all night. This may have resulted from yesterday’s Hike with Leon (pictures soon!). But I regret nothing. PCC must lie abed again today to recuperate for his talk in Torun in a few days. In the meantime, Big News is in the offing–more in three days. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili is temporarily distracted from the gift noms I brought her. (Not really, NOTHING distracts her from food!)
Jerry: Look what I’ve got for you…
Hili: Just a moment. There is a fruit fly with blue eyes.
In Polish:
Jerry: Popatrz co ci przywiozłem…
Hili: Zaraz, tam jest muszka owocowa z niebieskimi oczkami.
Get well PCC! 🙂
Hope you’re better soon. It’s awful being sick when travelling, as I know only too well.
Luckily you have an excellent nurse to keep you warm.
Maybe a little chicken soup with lots of ginger and garlic in it will pick you up, PCC?
So, unfortunate. “So much cherry pie, and not a one could I eat.”
Commiserating with a Really Bad Cold outside Teddy Roosevelt NP,and I usually never get colds. Maybe it IS the dreaded lurgy…
Urgh…when the disease keeps you from sleeping, that’s the worst.
Well, okay, maybe not the absolute worst, but it’s sure on the short list.

There was a time when I traveled every couple of weeks from San José, California, to Pensacola, Florida on business. This went on for a year and a half, and I probably had 8 or 9 respiratory virus attacks. I’m still convinced I picked those bugs up on the planes.
Re: the t-shirt. ‘I’m no cis-sy’ needs explanation, please. Can’t be sure of the spelling to start, but clearly a pun is involved.
Ah, crum, what a bummer! Good thing you’re staying with such hospitable friends and not in some motel room.
Sympathies to you, too, Merilee!
