I've been in a daze

Not sure if my current state is a result of allergies,not enough sleep, too much exercise,not enough rest, maybe too much sugar (it is Girl Scout Cookie season ) but I'm real spacey.
Please pardon me if I have to ask you to repeat what you just said. Again, please. I keep forgetting things. I could take a nap anywhere, anytime. My email correspondence has slowed down significantly to the point that friends are writing me to ask where I am vacationing and when will I be back.

I'm sort of vacationing in that I'm generally out of it. This has been going on for about a week and a half. Today my throat is sore and I'm losing my voice. It must be allergies because it is rare that I actually get a serious upper respiratory illness. If it is allergies, I'm getting off easy. Everyone else has some nasty cold or bronchitis. It's a non-stop chorus of coughing, hacking and nose honking at my office these days.

What keeps me from just checking into Icksville has been making Valentines. A friend of mine held a Valentine making party last Sunday and we all got to share ideas, materials and supplies to make our own cards. It was cool trying out new paper cutters and playing with all sorts of textured paper. I had never been to one of these, it was fun. Last night I made more Valentines while watching the surf documentary, Bustin' Down the Door. Can't watch enough surf documentaries.

I recently received news that I will be getting a vintage, hand me down bike. Yay! It's a Swarthmore by Murray. A what? All I know is that it has gears and brakes and I want to trick it out. Nothing like a free bike to cheer a person up!
