| A touch of snow around here |
Today I'm feeling a little bit better, but it wasn't more than a few weeks ago that I got sick with the norovirus, and believe me, everybody around me knows how much I don't like being sick. I'm a terrible patient, but my dear partner has been making me tea and crumpets (Crumpets? What the heck are those anyway?) and I've got a huge 600-page book to read. Unfortunately, it will be gone before the day is over.
My sister introduced me to David Baldacci, who writes the kind of book that, once you get hooked, you cannot put down. Just what I needed for today. I am reading Absolute Power, a 1996 thriller that was made into a Clint Eastwood movie the next year. Maybe that's what I should do once I finish with it: watch the movie. Anyway, I'm on the upside of being down and out. I hate colds, especially when it's cold out.
:-)
Get better quickly. Please.
ReplyDeleteThese respiratory things are going around. Stay low, take the meds, drink plenty of liquids and you should be back to your old self pretty quickly. Try to do too much, though, and you may find yourself in bed, taking awhile longer to get well.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I will tell you that the AlkaSeltzer Day/Night pills work. The last cold I had those were the only things that kept me going. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are sick! Take it easy and feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of cold remedy, reading and rest! The movie sounds good too. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon and meanwhile enjoy the book - and movie!
ReplyDeleteFeel better! Besides, that snow doesn't look too inviting.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you're sick! Hope you're better soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm been on this cold for 8 days. I think another 6 should do it.I've gargled with salt and sucked on cough candies.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot to get you to slow down. Hope you take care of yourself and get all better soon! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were sick again, but it sounds like you've got it under control.
ReplyDeleteIt was tricky trying to walk yesterday because of the ice, so today I dusted off the stationary bike out in the garage and did ten miles. By tomorrow I may feel some new muscles I haven't been using.
Sorry you are sick again. A bad cold is making the rounds in our office, too. Get well!
ReplyDeleteQuite right to take a few days out to give your body a chance to recover from this nasty cold. Hope you are hiking fit soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no--a totally unfair way to start the New Year. You all ready did your time with that virus.
ReplyDeleteI'm a terrible patient also so I sympathize with SG. Be well really soon so you can go out to play.
You should get the pneumonia vaccine if you have not already done so. The elderly are prone to pneumonia, which can be fatal.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you've got a cold. I find that gargling, saline nasal spray, and lots of hot liquids help me... and if you can stand it, eat raw garlic - it's a natural antibiotic - may burn the heck out of your throat, but I think it works. Get well!
ReplyDeleteI am slightly under the weather the past couple days, too--fighting something off.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute Power sounds so familiar. I think I saw the movie, but my memory isn't what it used to be--LOL!
Hope you are feeling great again soon. :)
Heal quickly DJan. Yes, I have read David's books as well. I am sure your fellow hikers and walkers miss your presence. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon DJan. I'm glad you're taking care of your cold and the book will help to pass the time. Thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteStay warm, stay dry, feel better.
ReplyDeleteGlad your on the upside! He definitely writes good thrillers...:)
