No One Standing

If  you are current with the blog, then you know that Debbie was teetering on the edge of being sucked into the sick dimension .   The symptoms were sore throat, couching and hacking.    A few professed to fever.  Each person diagnosed themselves.  Sinus, allergies, a cold (Debbie calls it the crud as an all encompassing compromising term. ). Debbie tried to distance her self but it is difficult when all the people at the table are hacking and coughing away.  She dealt a few drugs from her medicine kit to different members but had started considering a hoarding plan.  Debbie had been to the pharmacy with various members of the party and her trusty “Itranslate” application.  “Sore throat medicine?” Italian ” medicina mal di gola?”

So as you might have guessed, Debbie fell kicking and screaming into the Sick Dimension to join Jerry and Joyce.  Larry had already emerged on the other side although he did refuse to give up his toilet paper roll used as tissues.

We all woke up and sat glumly on the couch each clutching their tissue of choice.  Toilet paper, paper towels and disposable tissue packs.  Debbie enlisted Larry to walk to the pharmacy with her since she had no sense of direction.  There was fear that she might get lost  and  be found sniveling on the streets with no tissues.  Joyce sent a shopping list of drugs with them.  They stopped at the grocery store and purchased a real box of tissues for Joyce and Debbie plus their own box of decongestants at the pharmacy (Everyone lived in fear that on the next plane  their head will explode upon descent.  Debbie noticed that people started to whimper when discussing the upcoming flights).

Back they glumly sat again but this time with real tissues.  Everyone considered how the day was going to go.  No one could imagine walking several miles until someone suggested a break for the day.   We don’t remember who suggested it but everyone wanted to say it.  Suddenly people perked up.  “We could have a TV binge day”.  They all disappeared to reappear in different clothes with blankets.  (There is a rumor that Joyce never changed out of her pajamas the whole day.

(Debbie’s review – show gets weirder as it goes.  It has everything – Zombie, Frankenstein character, slime, twins).

Thus our day ended with no pictures ,everyone clutching tissues, decongestant for everyone and a coughing contest of who has the worst sounding cough. (Joyce had the “I am bringing this up from the bottom of my toes cough” while Debbie had the “I am choking and can’t stop without throwing up on someone” cough as people fled the room yelling “She’s going to blow!”.)

  1. I’m glad y’all decided on a tv binge day. Sounds like your bodies were protesting all that healthy sight seeing. I startled the dogs with my laughter after reading the last paragraph.

  2. I know a guy in Romania who could be there in 24 hours with a carload of pharmaceuticals if you want me to email him.

  3. So glad you guys took a day off to “decompress.” Missed hearing about the churches in Athens since Greg and I did not go to the first church while we were there. Mailed in my temporary passport for a “renewed” passport. So where do we go next? I will bring drugs written in English.

    1. We are still recovering from the trip. There were not as many churches in Greece but there are more to come. Good quesiton where we go next.
