So I wouldn't say that a weekend spent in bed would be a waste of a weekend if it was done by choice, but to have to spend an entire weekend in bed because you're sick, well let me tell you, it sucks! That was my weekend last week. I don't ever remember staying in bed that long, but about 80% of my days Saturday, Sunday and even Monday, were spent sleeping! I don't know what I had, but I sure am glad that it's now gone!
On Monday, Carl received an email from his friend Tom who lives in Ohio (we visited him on our way out to Kingston). Tom mentioned he might have a few days off and was thinking he might come for a visit sometime. Carl of course, told Tom he is welcome anytime. So later on that afternoon I asked Carl when Tom was thinking of heading out our way, later on this week, next month? Carl wasn't to sure so he texted Tom to find out. Two minutes later Carl received a response "I'll be there by 10pm", Tom was already on his way! I'd like to write that I jumped up, started cleaning the house and doing the laundry but I was still recovering from my awful cold, so me changing out of my pajama's was as far as I got! Tom arrived safe and sound and we had a quick visit before heading to bed.
The following day, Carl only had one class so the boys got to tour around Kingston. However, it rained all day and for some reason the guys walked into town and around town without umbrella's! By the time they got home, they were soaked! We spent the evening eating a delicious meal that Tom made for us and then Carl kicked our butts at Rummy (that's how it went, right Tom?).
Wednesday morning Tom woke up with a sore throat and although he said he had it before he came, I have a feeling me being sick didn't help! So even though Tom said he had a good time, I can't help but feel his memories of Kingston will be jaded, the poor guy drove nine hours to come visit us, he had to sleep on a couch that was half his size, the weather was miserable, he brutally lost a game of Rummy and we sent him home with a cold! Either way, Carl and I enjoyed the visit!

Hmmm, I remember the Rummy game turning out a bit different. But since you guys were such gracious hosts, I won't correct your obvious error. I never really got a full fledged cold, so you aren't responsible for giving me any sort of sickness. I really want to go back to Kingston when its nice out and do something sweet, maybe in the thousand island area. Or maybe we can do something sweet in Vancouver next fall. I'll let you guys decide the location.
