Lent Day 8 ~ Influenza B for me

Late last night,

I came down with symptoms just like Mr. Husband had 

when he was just getting sick.

I called a nurse and she said to go to a doctor within the hour....

so off I went back to where we had been with Mr Husband the day before.

Influenza B for me! Was hoping I would not get it but...

 ...at least so far it is not bacterial and I don't have bronchitis with it. 

So lots of meds and teas and juices...

Cleo has been having a hard time of it,

last night I locked her in the hall bathroom (with her loo and water) 

because I was trying to sleep in living-room and she was

up on the table sniffing the tea pots!

More than once!

Later she was begging for our food.

Poor thing, can't get a break. :)

I am trying to focus on the positives:

*health insurance 

*doctors

*medicine

*tea and more tea

*Mr. Husband is still really tired, but rallying.

He is talking more (he was not talking much when 

really sick, and if you know him well, know he is quite verbal)

*Mr. Husband made me tea today and now we are caring for each other 

since both of us are sick.

He's a sweetie and I love him!

Also...I liked this soup, the rice noodles did not fully 

re-hydrate and the tofu did not at all

but I liked it and am just glad to have things that I want to eat.

Not as easy when sick!

No worries, I am not at all keeping a strict Lenten fast

while sick, FYI. :)

Well, that's day 8 of the Lenten fast this year.

I am seeking to remain thankful, 

though I am not perfect at it...
