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.

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:

OMG, it does! 😅

Thank you for explanation. Carrots and avocados of caring. Awesome. 🤗
 
Good for you Kaila. The birdies need feeding.

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 left over 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.

This reminds me of when I went back to school and I was taking Art History for my art credit. We had to study a painting, I don't remember which now, but to me there was very clearly a Rastafarian type guy in the painting. I mean it was so clear to me! But when I queried the rest of the class, no one else could see it. A lesson in subjectivity.
 
Good morning from a dull, overcast corner of north west England. At least it's not windy and/or particularly cold. Rocco not due until late morning so I've got a little time to myself. Frustratingly though, my shoulder has decided to play up again which is restricting what I can do, it's my right shoulder too which makes it more annoying as I am right handed. I've taken a couple of pain killers so hopefully they'll kick in soon. 🤞

Meanwhile, here's a photo of Rocco offering me his octopus yesterday. I say 'offering' but maybe I should say teasing as the minute I try to get hold of it he pulls it away. ;)

Hope everyone that has been under the weather is starting to improve and has a good day. 🥕🥕

Good mornng Pam
I’m sorry to learn you are hurt your right shoulder. Maybe try putting a bag of frozen peas on it a few times per day.

You say here’s a picture of Rosco playing with his octopus yesterday but you forgot to add the picture. I’d love to see a photo of him with his playtoy.

Ooops.... I've now added the photo. Patty. Thanks for mentioning it, I must have had a senior moment. 😁

I do have an icepack so I might just try that on my shoulder. Had forgotten all about it.
