This was the view of the evening sky when the keeper left her office late Sunday afternoon. She says if she had a better camera we could see how truly stunning it was. But we got the general picture. She left home on Sunday morning not feeling well, all stuffed up and aching, disregarding the stern advice she gives to everyone else who is thinking of going into work sick. "Maybe it's an allergic reaction. It will get better," she thought. It didn't, but after 4 packets of Emergen-C, cough drops, aspirin, and nose drops, she says she was able to function for and with her Young Adults. The only other sickly one was the intern, who was a few days ahead of her with the sickness. So, we know where it came from. So, after a night of chicken noodle soup, pizza, vegies, and with a strong shot of single malt scotch before bed, she retired.
We helped her by sleeping on her head and staying close by. She did not mind, and spent most of the day resting before doing some TG shopping. We don't think she found us the hamsters yet. ( see previous blog post.) But she found a new remedy besides scotch. Oscillococcinum. It's homeopathic. She puts in on her tongue and she does feel better. It's the biggest flu remedy in France.
We did get to watch a very fine never heard of movie last night ---Amexicano. It tells the story of an unemployed Italian man from Queens who ends up having to work as a day laborer and wait for employers to fire them from the sidewalk. It's a very touching commentary on the human condition, friendship across culture, and the reality of the day laborer. It's a first movie with relatively unknown actors. Excellent! 5 paws!
We think she is getting better. She is posting this blog for us. Maybe we will see another movie tonight.
