Let's get the whining out of the way.....

OK, I know it's been over a week since I've posted anything.  So sorry.  Unfortunately, I guess I was trying to do too much too fast and my body decided to tell me to slow down.

First, my leg was hurting so much - even with handfuls of Ibuprofan - I could not walk for more than about 10 minutes and it started to become unbearable.  So I thought I'd take a couple of days off.  Then the group of ladies came to town who were part of a tour group that I had been on last year....so I hung with them for a while.  On the first afternoon that they were here, I had lunch with them and then proceeded to go home and get really sick....all the usual things that happen when your body says "whatever you just put in.....GET IT OUT...."  I was still feeling sick the next day and not really great the day after that.  THEN, the day after they all left, I came down with a cold!  Drippy....congested.....feverish.... all that....  Now I know why the Japanese wear surgical masks when they go out in crowds.  All that moving around I do on the bus, sometimes it's really crowded....all kinds of germs being broadcast.... EEK.

                                    Poor me stuck at #7.  A prisoner of my own weakness.

 By the way, see that door right under my window.  Apparently that used to be a tailor shop a long time ago.  One of these days I'll get up the nerve to check the back door to see if I can get in there.  It would be cool if there were some old sewing machines or tailoring supplies in there.....

Hopefully, after all that, my immune system has built up a defense against the local germs and from now on I'll be fine.

OK....whining done!   Coming up.........Dinner at Eiffel Tower, Pompidou Center, Buddha Bar, Galleries Lafayette, dinner at Souffle.....
