Becoming

What does one wear to a Celtic Festival?



The dogs wear kilts.



The nerds wear kilts.



The gays wear kilts.



The men wear little Catholic schoolgirl outfits.

I wore shorts and a long-sleeved shirt and a big, floppy straw hat that I wear in the garden. Still, I got too much sun. (I don't wear sunscreen as a habit.) 

Also, listening to this is fun for the first hour:



Hour six? Less fun.

After the Celtic Fest, I fell to a bout of stomach flu. Monday night was spent hurling into a bucket while laying on the floor, then once the dry heaves came along, hurling into a bucket while bent over the corner of the bed. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent wishing I could return to the relative ease of Monday night. Those were ugly days. Today I'm feeling relatively normal again. Weaker, but normal. I actually went outside for awhile, dead headed some plants and watered the garden. That was enough.
