Rough week

I've been sick this week and have had headaches pretty much all week.  I think it started Monday afternoon when I was bitten on the thumb by a mosquito.  A few hours later, I started to feel achy and weird.  My guess is that the mosquito gave a bug of some sort.  Who knows.

In any event, this week hasn't been fun, but I'm starting to get back to normal, I think.  I did some pushups today, the first exercising I've done all week.  My stomach's still not quite sure if it wants to digest food or not, but it's coming around.

I'm looking forward to colder weather.  When I get sick, I have a hard time dealing with heat.  I can deal with the cold better.  I wasn't always like this.  I used to be able to deal with heat better than cold.  But I'm older and fatter now, so I guess this switch was inevitable.

The hummingbirds are absolutely swarming at the feeders, and I've really enjoyed watching them this summer.  There's at least a dozen of them, and maybe closer to two dozen; it's hard to estimate with any accuracy due to the fact that they're constantly on the move.  When I'm sick, I stay inside due to the heat, so watching the hummers is one of the few ways I can enjoy nature from inside.

I've made a dietary change in recent weeks, and I think I'm losing a little weight.  Very slowly, but it's happening.  Let's hope I'm right.

Take care, folks, and make preparations for a winter full of hardships, because I've got a bad feeling about it.
