Raincheck - so sorry!

This is Wordbyrd, AKA Barb, AKA Karen's mom, writing to let you know that I'm going to have to postpone tonight's coffee cake get-together. I'm feeling lousy and am lacking the stamina to "bake and serve." Darn.

When Karen was little, she used to "help" me do medical transcription. I'd sit at my desk in my little home office, clacking away on the old IBM Selectric II (way back before I invested in a computer), and she'd sit on the floor at my feet, typing like a fiend on her Little Tykes typewriter. Every so often she'd say "sh**," believing this was part of the process when one made a typo (wherever did she hear THAT?). Anyway, she also became adept at medical terminology, and when I became ill with CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome - which doesn't even begin to describe it - sounds like a tired, lazy person's disease and it's so much more.....sigh......), she decided CFS wasn't a proper medical term and promptly renamed it "zackmeophitis." So now when Mom's feeling especially punky, crashy or in the throes of a relapse, the family says I'm "zacky."

So, there you have it. I'm zacky.
Prayer appreciated.

I'll let you know when we can reschedule.

P.S. Go Broncos!
