Feeling better

So for the last couple of weeks I have been battling a nasty cold.  Normally I bounce back from things like this pretty quick but maybe germs from assisted living facilities (Mom had a cold when we left for Vancouver) are tougher.  So I have been battling a sore throat, cough, chest congestion and sinuses that just won gold in the snot marathon.  Yuk!!   Finally I am starting to feel more like myself.  I admit I am a crabby sick person, I want someone to make me chicken soup, and tea with honey, and rub Vicks on my chest ... I totally revert to about 8 years old.   The weird thing is that when I was a I kid I don't remember anyone doing this for me so I don't know why I think that this is what you are supposed to do for sick people.  So I followed the routine and made myself chicken soup and tea with honey and rubbed Vicks on my own chest ... it did make me feel better but that maybe psychological.  Anyway the only thing I was keeping up with was my horse whisk form, my hand form is long (mu long koon) ha ha ha and it got bits of it practiced but I couldn't get through the whole thing.  Finally last night I did two reps of the whole form ... guess I am on the road to recovery. 

Tomorrow Dean and I are going to Houston to visit my daughter Brandi, I am very excited.   Skype is great but it can't communicate hugs and shared hot chocolate or tea.  As a result I will be missing this Thursday's classes and Saturday open training.  I will be back on the 12th so I will be at the classes on the 13th and there are no more trips planned for the year of the monkey.
