Achey and itchy

Not feeling too good today. Just after noon and I am ready for a nap. For some reason, I kind of ache all over -- nothing really painful but just always there. On top of that I have a few extremely itchy areas, some of which are best not scratched in public.

Lenore and James just went out to La Terra to check on the progress on Kathleen's building project. I am going to take advantage of the quiet to get some dissertation work done. This morning we both worked on catching up on capes business. This is our busiest time of year and we were kind of slipping behind. As of today though I think we have our heads above water. We've shipped over thirty capes since this lymphoma stuff started so that will help with $$$ as bills start rolling in. We also added a dozen more in-stock capes to our webpage so we should be ready for the Christmas rush.

Hard for me to believe that less than a month has passed since this all started. This time last month I still thought I just had a bad sore throat and perhaps tonsillitus; I was looking forward to a few more fall fishing trips and then whitefish netting. This year's early ice on Marquette would have made netting tough anyway so at least I don't feel like I am missing out on much. Finally winterized the boat yesterday and also decided to forgo putting the fish house out this winter. I need to do some repair work before it is really winter tight and I think I'll delay that until next summer. So...if anybody gets on a good walleye bite over the next couple months, please give me a call!
