Thinks with a cold: πŸ€’

My summer sheets are grey and not tight.

I would rather sleep on a hippo πŸ¦› than rhino 🦏 .

How long a ago did I read πŸ“– Aesop fables?

Wasn't it crumbs that made the rhino itchy? 🀨

I'm glad there are no crumbs in my sheets but I wish I had pineapple sherbet. 🍍

I miss my winter flannel sheets.

When did pills πŸ’Š happen and Bring tired?πŸ₯±

Dozed off writing this and will post it even though…. πŸ«– ?

Need to put my out of office on email and phone.☎️

I think shower 🚿 would make better but afraid dizzie will happen.

Wish could bed πŸ›Œ shower.

Maybe next after sleep πŸ’€ happens

Where is the phone? Who has my glasses?

Selfie sticker

-

Are you a calm patient?

    Wrote this exactly like a fever infested brain and body would sound like. I felt for you and didn't want to get to close to the screen for fear of catching what ever it is you got. I am more of a frustrated patient myself.

    Sounds very much like a brain with a fever, walking that line between clarity and delirium. I am a calm patient - until I'm not.
