At least I'm home to be sick
A day or two before I left for Denver, the clone started having sneezing fits which turned into something like a cold. I was hoping to avoid her fate, but no such luck. As I struggled to catch up Sunday and yesterday, I got so bogged down I may have actually moved backwards in time a few steps. Or maybe that idea is stuck in my head after watching Heroes....
Anyway. Thank you to everyone who commiserated with me on Richard's death. I usually try to respond to all my comments, but I am feeling a little daunted and energy-challenged. Maybe this time I will try this "take it easy" remedy I have heard so much about, and see if I get better quicker, maybe even skip the customary side trip to Bronchitis Land.
Funny story time. While I was telling Caro and Mike of some of my Denver adventures, I mentioned a slightly odd incident that had happened at breakfast Sunday morning. We found a little place called The Delectable Egg (which I highly recommend to Denver Friends) just down the street from our hotel. Our friendly server came up and joyfully said to me, "Hello! Remember me?!"
Don't you hate it when that happens? I mean, she looked slightly familiar, but I am NOT good with remembering faces. "I talked to you outside the Adam's Mark yesterday," she explained. "I said 'Great Hair!'?"
I did remember someone doing that, and she did look like she could have been that person. So I apologized on the grounds of having seen 1900 new faces the day before, and said I did kind of remember her.
It seemed to be a satisfactory answer, because she smiled and RUFFLED MY HAIR as she headed back to the kitchen with our orders.
"She what?" Caro asked, laughing.
"She put her hand on my head and fluffed my hair!"
Then Mike piped up in a highly indignant voice. "For FREE?!?"
I honestly do not know exactly what he meant by that, and by the time Caro and I got done laughing hysterically, I don't think he could have explained.
I didn't actually MIND, you know. She probably flashed back to some beloved stuffed toy from her childhood or something. Thinking of that gave me an idea for a classic for Tune Tuesday!
