Cosmic Smackdown

Y'all might recall that a week or so ago when Denver was enjoying beautiful warm weather while folks on the east coast were suffering the wrath of winter, a certain CatLady was... um... well, let's say a tad bit less sympathetic than she might have been.


Sooo, when the forecast said temperatures would reach 70 degrees again today (around 21C), I was unabashedly planning to spend the day outside on my bike again soaking in the sunshine. Imagine my shock when I woke up this morning with a fever of 101 (38.3C) and just generally feeling like I'd been hit by a truck!


This was most definitely NOT in the plan!!! Why couldn't my body choose a day when it's cold and miserable outside to be sick in bed?


And to make matters worse, this weather is supposed to last all weekend! So it will be unseasonably beautiful outside, and I'll be stuck in bed feeling like total crapola! I'll probably get better just in time for the next snow which is supposed to hit early next week. Sigh.


Hmmm... perhaps that'll learn me not to gloat in the future!


So, as those of you in other parts of the country are suffering through your horrible weather, and feeling like smacking me when you see of all the 70's on the national weather maps, just know that the universe already took care of it for you.

  1. I thought about you when I saw that it was going to be 70 in Denver this weekend. So sorry that you're sick and going to miss it. Maybe it will be a 24 hour thing and you can at least take a little walk tomorrow.

  2. I don't worry too much when someone has beautiful weather and I don't--we might get buried in snow, but we don't have to contend with hurricanes and mudslides and other, more serious disasters. Bad weather has a way of finding all of us.

    I, too, am sorry you are sick! Rest up and cuddle with your cats. It's good for the soul as well as the body. :)

    1. Yes, I suppose it's true that we all get our due with bad weather. It's looking like another Netflix day for me. The cats are loving this though, and there's much wrangling for position on the couch!

  3. Cat, I hope you feel better real soon. Take care of yourself, and rest. Maybe you could just sit outside in the sun for a bit, with a cup of tea.
    And rest assured, more good weather will come, and then you'll have the energy to get out for a ride.

    2. Thanks so much for your well wishes. I feel much less horrible today than I did yesterday, so I'm hopeful that I might get better in time to enjoy the weather a little bit before it snows again!

    1. Thanks Amanda. I got to wander around in the yard a bit today which was wonderful! We've got one more warm day before winter returns, so maybe I'll make it out for a short ride tomorrow. Fingers crossed...
