My sister in law just got over a cold which she said made her the sickest she’s been in her life which included a Covid virus. Colds and flus can be serious illnesses.

I'm sorry to hear that! This one doesn't seem worse than the average cold/flu judging by my husband's bout with it so I'm hopeful it won't be too bad for me.

ETA: And thank you for kind words, Patty. 🤗

Perhaps yours will be shorter in duration, due to the care you do take,
Or perhaps the symptoms will be less severe.....
,Or hopefully both of those.

I was thinking the same thing! Thank you, Dear Kaila. ❤️

do you go out into public places a lot with lots of people and no mask? If so, or if hubby is around lots of people with no mask it is easily transmitted. This year the flu and covid are pretty bad here. hope you get better soon.

I don't, actually, but husband does work with the public, although he's worn a mask the last few days. Doesn't matter now, I suppose as here we are and we'll just have to get through it now. 🤷‍♀️
 

Good morning, all you amazing people! Here we are at another Monday... they come so fast! I hope that the "slogginess" has left you by now, Kaila, and that you'll have a beautiful Monday. And I also hope that you're feeling better and taking care of yourself, Medusa! @Medusa Hawkie, if you're peeking in here, I sure could go for some of your sausage gravy & biscuits! @hawkdon

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗:coffee:🤒

I'm on early again this morning because, with this virus, my days are not being driven by my usual schedule. I'm just sitting in bed with my laptop. It's weird.

Ugh. I had trouble talking to boyfriend this morning because this illness has taken my voice. :/

Thank you, @CallMeKate, 🤗 I am staying in bed, drinking liquids, refraining from exercises (which is harder than you'd think) and doing all the things a person does in illness. Bleh.

I'm having coffee now, but then I'll switch to tea and I'm reminded that we have some very nice instant Miso Soup packets somewhere in the small pantry.

@Kaila, hoping you are feeling rested today and that there isn't anything too taxing on the agenda.

Wishing you all a lovely Monday! 🥕🥕🥕

Thank you, Kate, for this caring and encouraging message that you wrote;🤩🥰🤩
And for the printed one that you selected, as well. 👍

I've decided to focus on that phrase.....
the courage to continue. ....
Am repeating it to myself, like a mantra.

I'm still extremely sloggy, and finding it difficult to cope with.... so far.....
Yet hoping for the dense fog to lighten up.
Which could happen at any time.

Hope, Determination,......
And Courage.

And 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕, of course!
😁😊🥰☺️
 
@Medusa
Sending extra comfort to you, as you lean into the changes in all of your routines,
that come with giving your body the time and the rest, to fight off the virus, and to heal.🥰☺️🥰

I'm glad your husband has a few days off now, hopefully, and is feeling stronger, hopefully,
and that he can do a few more tasks to help you, hopefully.
😊😁🤩😄

And that we can put a few smiles on your face, with our posts here......
Yes, hopefully. 🙃🤣😆

Moments of success were fleeting.....
Yet significant, nonetheless.

And failure and loss, did feel like fatal.
But wasn't.

Holding on....to love, and to life....
discovering inner strengths....

Hope;

Determination;

Courage.
 
This morning, I looked out the window, and saw the cardinal, on the empty dish. 😐🙄🫤🙁

I got dressed with extra layers , knowing it's extra cold outdoors!

And I managed to put seed in the birdfeeder.

He hasn't come back yet, but the goldfinches did, and he will. 🙂

I'm out of the loop on the avocados. Fill me in, please? :alien:

The avocados sometimes have slipped in, by mistake, when i was selecting multiple carrots.
Which i had found amusing. 😄

Then I began slipping in a couple, by mistake , on purpose. 🙃🙃🙃😁😁

What i noticed today, for the first time, is that it appears to be a silly face, in this order:

Good for you Kaila. The birdies need feeding.
Medusa said:
OMG, it does! 😅

Thank you for explanation. Carrots and avocados of caring. Awesome. 🤗

i noticed the silly face right away yesterday. I was going to mention it but thought it was apparent .

I hope your cold isn’t too horrible Medusa. I really feel for you.

Today I’m just doing a bit of housework and helping make some pork stew. We’ve never had pork stew but had a big chunk of pork on from canning the dogs kibble the other day.

My husband just went to the store to get some tomato paste. I didn’t feel like going.

I hope everyone’s day is going well.
