Memo to self: take it easy

[redbird]

I do not have to—and should not—do anything domestic for the next few days. It's okay if I don't get any writing done.

My task is to relax, recover, and not overdo anything in ways that could cause long-term problems. It's pneumonia, not a cold or an allergy. My mother will not get upset if I don't vacuum.

I will not go out, buy crocuses or other bulbs, and rush them into the ground before it's too late. The Vinca will overwinter, or not, and I will let it happen as the climate and chance dictate.

Take It Very Easy

[freeme6.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear about the pneumonia -- I'll keep my fingers crossed that it gets better soon. And yes, you should take it easy, rest, and be good to yourself. The thing with illnesses like pneumonia is that you start feeling better before you really are better, which makes it easy to have a relapse.

As for the vinca, mine not only survives the winter up here (I'm in zone 6a, close to the edge of zone 5), it stays green most of the year. Well, except for the variegated variety I tried a couple of years ago.

Take care,
Elly

Thanks. I'm trying.

How are you doing up there? (We've been redefined as zone 7 instead of 6, by the way.)
