Sha had a day off on Monday, so she brought me lozenges and mints. Our neighbour across the street scraped the ice off our drive. We will have to thank him . . . when we can talk. My diminished voice has Sue feeling like she is the one going deaf.
Sue is not exactly full of vim, vigour and vitality, but she’s two days farther along in this adventure, so we are making do with food and tea. She fed me an echinacea tea yesterday. I managed to get it down — most of it anyway. My main food is toast because the scratchiness feels pretty good on the throat.
Meanwhile, waste paper baskets are filling to the brim with discarded tissues, and I am dabbing my sore nose with bag balm.
That’s enough screen time for my leaky eyes. I’ll see you around.
Hope you are both feeling better in a few days. We had similar symptoms last week and recovered now.Sending out best wishes to you and Sue for a healthier and happy 2026
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you all are hurting. It makes me aware of how we each have such different forms of difficulties.
ReplyDeleteOuch. Hope you get over the awful throat mess and don't get that horrid dry hacking uncontrollable cough.
ReplyDeleteGet well. One night while I was trying to sleep, apparently my garmin thought I'd gone hiking and said I'd walk 6 thousand steps in my sleep. Restless indeed.
I hope you're both well soon, not fun at all, especially no sleep.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear you are both still feeling awful. At least Sue is closer to recovery. I hear you on the wastepaper baskets! Sending many good wishes for feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. You've got it bad! Keep those liquids coming and going down. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds miserable. My ardent wishes for a fast recovery for you both.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you folks have been hit now. I was about a week in lala land. Like Sue, my ears are still wonky. Hopefully this is the only bug we get this winter eh?
