Fog ~ Meds ~ Naps ~ Chocolate



Good 29º morning. Foggy. First picture was yesterday morning
7-ish and the second this morning 7-ish....


My cold is better. I got to town yesterday and the pharmacist had put aside a decongestant and antihistamine that won't conflict with my regular meds. So far so good. I did take a 2 hour nap in the afternoon and then after I ate dinner I took another hour or so nap. Went to bed and slept well. So, today I have a lot to catch up with.


Couldn't agree more, Maxine!

Sue,

I'm glad yu are feeling better and the cold meds are working. John has been sick with it but like the Energizer bunny he keeps on a goin. Last night Daryl came home with the chills and fever and Lola! :( I fixed him Theraflu, he took a hot shower and off to bed he went. He has to work all weekend so hope he is better too real fast. He was hired by UPS so one can't stay home sick with a new job to go to! Yikes!!

Hugs, Trisha

Yes, "resting" is unfortunately the way to help rid the body of the symptoms, but alas, men....... Good for Daryl. I drove a UPS truck at one juncture of my career also. It was fun! But a LOT of work! xo
