Well, when I woke up on Wednesday,
May 24th I knew that I had had a much better night’s sleep. Only
waking to cough briefly one time, but stupidly waking enough to remind myself
to stay on my side so I didn’t start hacking. Seemed to irritate the tickle if
I was on my back.
Finally, it feels like something is
breaking with this cold, lots of morning coughing and phlegm, sorry just
telling it like it is. Anyway, after a dose of cough syrup and a Tylenol Cold
tablet within 10 minutes I felt much better. As it was, I stayed in bed until 8
o’clock.
this is the part of the day I took advantage of |
The sky was funny this morning, I
didn’t know what to expect. The sun was there, clouds were there and some wind
so another mixed bag of a day. The nice thing to see was the 14C/57F first
thing and it felt nice to walk out with Clemmy.
Clemson displays my thoughts about the sun's warmth today |
The rest of the day found me mostly
lazing about. I had no energy and felt like doing nothing for the most part. I
did manage to take a walk to the end of the lane with Clemson once and then
came back and sat in the sun in my lounge chair. It wasn’t a full sun day at
all but let me tell you, I soaked up as much of it as I could. It felt so good,
the best remedy for what ails me.
I felt a little guilty sitting while Bill worked in the background |
Bill worked around on a couple of
different projects, and finished the whipper snipping around the fence lines
and the corral. I felt bad that I didn’t get my mower out to finish where I
left off on Monday but that grass can wait until Friday morning. It is only
going to grow again anyway! LOL
From sun to shade, repeat |
At one point, I crawled up onto the
bed where Clemson joined me and we had a nice hour long siesta. It didn’t give
me any more energy though, I still just dragged myself from one place to
another with intruding coughing fits every so often. I feel an end is near
though, not to me, to my cold.
I called The Bookstore in Durham and
asked Nella to remove my name from the Save Rockwood bus trip tomorrow at 7:30.
I don’t put a lot of faith in my morning rising being a good one nor do I want
to spread the bug. Bill leaves in the morning for London so after a kiss
goodbye, I will just go back to bed.
Pretty sky |
For supper, we bbq’d burgers, loaded
with bacon, tomato, onion and the fixings. Too lazy to even make a salad, I
just had mine in a bun as well. It was good for a change. Bill cleaned up
dishes and made his sandwiches for his two lunches at CanAm. We try to send
enough for him to eat and drink and keep him entertained. I think he’ll have to
dig out a new book to start.
The farmer is now planting and fertilizing in the field behind us |
I hope you enjoyed this nice day. If
I’d felt better I would have gotten 100% out of it but I’m still happy with my
take on it. It was nice to see the temperature rise to 22C/71F today.
And then it is time to go inside |
I wanted to thank you all for
sticking with me in my blog writings and your words of support. If kind words
through social media did what they are meant to do, I would be healthy, free of
this cold and wrapped in a warm hug. Thank you.
I love reading your comments if you
wish to leave one.
That warm air and sunshine today should make you feel better, it sure was wonderful here. Next few days gonna be cooler but no matter, it is all good and no snow! Soon be hot and sunny.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what that sun can do, I felt mau - vel - lous (Billy Crystal) sitting in it. It's all good, you're right, lots of reading to do!
DeleteSorry to read you are still not feeling 100%. I know how tiring a cough can be it just takes everything out of you. Back to bed in the morning sounds like a good plan. I envy that you had sun and 71 degrees...we had clouds and 55 degrees. Oh well everything is green here.
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))
thank you Deb for your concern. I hate to think a cold, something so common and simple, can get me down. But I'd rather this than the flu so something to be thankful for! Bill left at 8 and Clemson and I went back to bed for another hour. Mostly just resting but outside the gentle rain is watering my garden so no rush to get moving. The warmth and sun was brief, soon we will all have sun and heat. Thanks for the hugs!
DeleteSome days you just have to listen to your body and take it easy. Hoping you're on the uphill swing of this thing. Love your pictures and your always positive outlook..:)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! A rainy day is another great way to get lazy too. What else to do but work on getting better. 😉
