Well, he got us. Lori has the crud worse than I do, but we both picked it up from the walking petri dish known as Ty. He went to the doctor yesterday afternoon at 3:30 and good news is his lungs are clear, and the doctor said he’s turning the corner and to just get some more rest. So hopefully this thing is a 48 hour bug or so. Then again, when you’re young, you get over things a lot quicker than when you’re older. I remember when I’d get a bruise when I was young, it’d heal in a day, now they take weeks! Anyhow, we’ll drink lots of fluids, eat soup, take tons of Vitamins and ride it out. Sadly, we’ll miss the Halloween party tonight. Lori’s super bummed as she wanted to see all the decorations. She’s a big Halloween fan.
Ty went to work for an hour yesterday trying to tough it out but didn’t last long. He’s trying again this morning and is a lot better than two days ago and better than yesterday too. I think he’ll be home before noon.
Looks like freezing temperatures in Denver tonight. That’ll be their first freeze of the season. Nice outside but cool in the mornings. No snow yet, but that could happen tonight, especially up high. Lori made some good soup yesterday and we’ll just eat that today. Soup is usually better the second day anyhow.
My buddy Steve who is Group 19 in the Army was coming up for the weekend to stay with us as he used to live here and has the weekends off and is down at the big base in Colorado Springs. With our colds, he’s passing and will hopefully come up next weekend. He’s about ready to head out on a six-month deployment. I asked him where and he said he’d tell me next weekend in person rather than on the phone. He’s like 20 years in and Group 19 is today’s version of the Green Berets. He and Angie moved to Arizona a couple of years ago and is off half the year or so. When he’s sent somewhere, something is up. He trains and commands a bunch of guys, and it seems like they’re always doing some sort of training somewhere in the World. He’s been on training exercises to places like Iceland and Africa and other places you haven’t even heard of. It’ll be interesting to see where he’s headed to next weekend. He always gives me a call and a heads up about anything going down. He’s like our early warning system.
Big Bronco game tomorrow with the team honoring Demaryius Thomas. Our Super Bowl 50 team will be there for the game. Hope we win, we should.
That’s it, time have a great Saturday, God Bless.
