Not quite the type of nesting my sister is doing for sure, but since being felled by pneumonia I've created a nest for myself on the couch in the living room. Within a 3 foot radius are the following:
- A tank of oxygen, just in case
- A box of tissues
- Every remote control known to man
- Two empty glasses, each of which once contained ginger ale
- My digital camera
- A heating pad that also vibrates
- A down comforter
- Three blankets
- A thermometer
- The stuffed tiger my sister got me when I was in the ICU
- One pillow from the bed
- My DS Lite
- Get well cards from the Cedrones and the Belangers
- My discharge info from the hospital
- Jess's wedding invitation
- My machine, on which I am spending TOO MUCH TIME booking flights to Pittsburgh, looking at www.nau.com, and reading blogs
- A copy of The Smithsonian Magazine
- Thank you notes waiting to be written to all the kind people who sent their best wishes to me over the last two weeks
Why get up? My only wish was that turning on the WII or the PS2 didn't involve getting up and bending over, which makes me very dizzy.
