Summer Cold

My summer sheets are grey and not tight.

I would rather sleep on a hippo than rhino.

How long a ago did I read 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.

If had them now would be cozy but ugh too warm

If I could put head on shelf and close door until better.

Dozed off writing this and will post it even though ~ is this email or post?

When did pills?

Is water in glass mean pills now or already?

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

Feed fever and cold starve? Does this matter?

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

Wish could bed shower.

Maybe next after sleep happens
