  • I broke down and went to the doctor on Saturday morning.  I was given some mega-antibiotics, chest & sinus decongestant pills, and told to drink lots of water and stay "down!"  Although I haven't taken on any extra projects (except to put the garage back to make room for the birthday pinata), I only laid down for 2.5 days last week.  According to the doctor, that was NOT long enough.  What I have is "serious" and he said tons of water and lots of rest (with his plethora of horse pills he prescribed) is what will make me well.

    Guess that means I'll keep things short on my blog and try to remember to lay down in bed in between the things I HAVE to do.  My bed isn't a place I give any consideration to during the day.  I'll really have to remind myself to go there.

    Meanwhile, I'm creating all kinds of simple menus in my head that can be thrown together quickly.  I was thinking how ironic it is when we really NEED the better meals  and nutrition, we are too sick to fix those things and must rely on chili dogs, etc. to sustain us!  Where's my momma or grandma when I need them?

    I've talked to Jesse about someone coming in to clean the house this one time.  The fans need dust knocked from them.  Some curtains are dusty and should be washed and rehung.  The corners of the carpets and baseboards need to be gone over with the vacuum attachments.  All of these things should help my breathing if they are clean and no longer full of dust.  Jesse took the return vents out to wash them and I think when he turned the 2 air conditioning systems back on, hunks of dust in the ventilation system flew out of every vent in every room.   I know my house didn't suddenly get dirty due to lack of my cleaning.  It all truly appeared overnight.

    I NEED to go to the grocery store and get some hamburger meat (lots of it) and fresh fruit.  Maybe I'll have a little more spunk later this afternoon!  Maybe?

  • I had to laugh at your comment to me! I am not sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting on your sewing! We, both of us, will get to it in God's time!If I get it when i am busy with the sewing that has time deadlines I will work it in ASAP! Take the time to rest.
    When we would get sick my mother would sit us by the stove on a rug, with our feet in hot water. She would add a heaping TBSP. of Ginger or mustard (I like Ginger) from the kitchen cupboard to our water. Get a good book and sit and soak your feet and read! When the water cools down have a tea kettle of hot water on the stove... just reach over and pour some more hot into your tub. The Ginger pulls the sick toxins out through the pores in your feet! Works every time to help get better quicker!
    Blessings to you,
    Tina

  • Hope you're getting enough rest now and feel better soon!
