I headed back home on Thursday morning and headed north on WI-35 at LaCrosse to take in the sites along the Great River Road. Just getting through Onalaska and Holmen took a while and I crossed over the Mississippi when I got to Winona and took the Minnesota side of the river. We stopped for a walk along Lake Pepin in Lake City. Once I got near St Paul, the sky opened up with pretty heavy rain and I drove through a very long stretch of construction just before St Paul. I was thinking that I hope I remember that I have ‘been there and done that’ and don’t find the need to take the long, scenic route again in the future. It added a good 45 minutes to my drive back home.
Shortly after our stop in Lake City, I started having stomach cramps and feeling extreme indigestion. That continued into the night with added feelings of fever off and on. I ended up having to reschedule my cleaning job with Ben and Jill and stayed home to recover on Friday. I managed to accomplish two things yesterday - a walk around the neighborhood and giving Joey a bath. I’m feeling better this morning and have been able to have coffee, so I think I’m mostly mended.
