We didn’t get to go to the Pirate Festival here in St. Louis. Saturday it rained hard, and Saturday night I came down with a fever. Apparently, I’ve caught a bug. The fever is finally below a hundred this morning, but I feel like crap. I did not sleep well at all last night and nothing I took broke the fever. It was like it just had to burn itself out medicine be damned. I have an appointment to get my nails done because we’re going to be flying out on Wedsneday for a lot of business meetings. One of those meetings will include an on camera interview commercial sort of thing. Please do not bother Darla about when this will be on. I don’t know. She doesn’t know. This is a first time for this, and when we get details we’ll let you know. You now know almost as much as we know. Okay? God, I do not want to get my nails done. I never want to get them done, but when I feel this bad, I really don’t want to use up my energy doing primping stuff. Trinity was sooo excited about Pirate Festival She had an outfit ready to go on Friday night. Then it rained. Then I got fever that night and we couldn’t go. I asked her be grown up about it, that I was disappointed to. She rallied and we decided to make Sunday a pirates party at home. We picked out pirate movies here at home, and found we had more than we thought we had. Started Sunday with her choice of Haunted history’s Ghost Ships. Pirates of the Caribbean next, then I had to take a break. I tried for a nap, couldn’t sleep. Finally, a soaking bath with lavender and salts in it, helped. She waited the movies on me which I told her she didn’t have to, but she wanted to. Very sweet, especially after my being sick ruined her fun. We watched the live action Peter Pan, that is my favorite version, the most recent one. We still have a stack of pirate movies to go. Blackbeard’s Ghost, several animated Peter Pans, Treasure Planet, and if we can find it, The Crimson Pirate.
I hope everyone had fun at the Pirate Festival, sorry we missed it. I look forward to it next year, and hope they have better weather. Now I’m going to go lay down, just doing this has made me feel not so good again. Damnit.
