A Quick One

First, I was almost not here on the blog at all Sunday, but after supper, I felt like setting up a couple of morning posts, so I read up to stay caught up. I figure I ought to say something.

Somewhere, somehow, I caught a cold. It is only a cold, but it is miserable to the point that I don’t recall having a cold that wore me out the way this one has. I suppose it was working on me for a few days, but it really only hit yesterday. By the time I figured out what was happening, it was a full-blown cold. I did feel better this morning, but I know me, so I’ve tried to take it easier so I can get rid of the danged thing sooner rather than later, or relapsing. I haven’t been ill since before COVID in 2019, and it has been great! I wish we all still wore masks as they do in Japan during cold-flu season. Anyway, eating nutritiously, taking my zinc lozenges, using a decongestant when I need to (and they do too work!), and getting to bed earlier are what I’m doing to get better. Last night I was in bed before 10! It’s usually 11. So, that’s what’s up with me; I just have been taking it easier. TTYL, and everyone stay warm or cool as you need, and safe. 💖 🌞

I love dogs and people. I want living creatures to thrive. I love to cook, and share the food, but ya gotta get in line in front of the dog.

  1. Oof… me, too.

    Wandering around this AM feeling bad, finally picked up a thermometer and took my temp – that was mom’s method for confirming illness – and the forehead thermometer read 100.4 F. I’ve already cancelled today’s appointment and am wondering if I should reschedule my 2 Thursday appointments.

    1. Well, yeah. I take rest days every Saturday and Sunday, but mostly as to strength exercises, so I kept up steps and chores. I was feeling a little better when I went to bed, slept well all night, got up this morning feeling like I’ve been hit by a bus. No temp, but all the cold symptoms. So, today’s an actual real rest day. I didn’t even put on my FitWitch, because she doesn’t get illness. I hope you feel better very soon, MDavis!

    1. 🌞 I keep thinking of you! You’re so good at self-care. I think I overdid things yesterday even though yesterday I thought I took it easy. Today is total rest. We’re snowed in, anyway, so it’ll be fine. Someone will have to get the trash out to the alley, but it’ll get done. Thanks, Janet! I’m toasting you with tea!
