My husband tagged me with the name “Sturdy Hypochondriac” this morning, after I had a 101 fever last night. It was gone by this morning, so I went shopping at the farmer’s market and walked around the Civic Center pond.. No dinner, no screen time, just rest. I’m a researcher, so I delved further into why I had a fever for just one night.
Research is the way I approach any situation that I don’t understand.
I haven’t had a fever in years. Yesterday, I drank a 12-Ounce Urban Remedy Organic Glow Low-Glycemic Juice when we came home after our walk in Wildcat Canyon. It wasn’t too hot in the Canyon, lots of shade trees, so probably not dehydration. I was’t exposed to any sick person the past week, mostly outside.
I don’t always find an answer.
When I was driving home from the farmer’s market, I heard jazz music on NPR. Nick Finzer was reinterpreting Mood Indigo, a jazz number made famous by Duke Ellington. He composed this piece during the Pandemic. Mood Indigo is currently available in “Out of Focus” through Bandcamp.
Mood Indigo and Out of Focus are the perfect music for my mood at the moment. This afternoon, I am visiting the shops with my friend and this evening meeting up with another friend. Let’s see how long I am attracted to the sound of Mood Indigo.
Being a Sturdy Hypochondriac isn’t so bad; it may even have good qualities.
