Laid Low


When I send The Mister out to the store for these particular items things aren't good. I've got a cold. I haven't had a cold in ages so it is not going well. I've got too much going on to feel this bad but what else is there to do but tuck myself into a cozy corner, sip soup and juice all day while going through box after box of Puffs. I've had the TV playing the fireplace video non stop as I drift in and out of sleep. It's not so bad. Maybe I needed a break.



The Mister is keeping busy in my absence. The drywall is getting finished layer by layer. This is slow tedious work and only one of us fits on the ladder at a time anyway. He's probably happy to have the time to himself. Things were getting a bit tense. Between his bad hip and my cold we've both been a bit grouchy.

    So many people are sick right now. I truly hope it is a cold and not the flu. Stay down and rest. Your body will thank you fo fit. Praying for a fast recovery. Christmas is no time to be sick.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    Poor baby! You've been going non-stop, and it's no wonder you are under the weather. Feel better soon!

    Ugh, I'm sorry about your crappy cold. I can commiserate. I left work early on Monday and then slept until 10am. I haven't done that in over a year at least. I tried orange juice w/turmeric for the first time. The boys got it and poured me a little mixed with bubble water (we mix it to stretch it). Not bad. Turmeric is supposed to have anti-inflammatory attributes. Sure, why not. I'm back at it with the help of a little sudafed and aleve and lots of any kind of liquid I want. hehe.

    Sorry you are not feeling well. I got your soaps in the mail! Can't wait to use them. Thank you so much for your generosity.

    I hope you get better soon!

    You deserve to be grouchy with a cold and frankly drywall at this time of year. I hope you actually rested, which I find hard to believe!
