Quiet Day, Sunshine Remedy

Well, when I woke up on Wednesday, May 24^th 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.

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.

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.
