Well, I tried not to get a head cold...

As I wrote this morning:

I ran, dodged, swerved, begged it not to come ... for 3 weeks... but it's here, I have a cold, joining my Husband in his illness.  Having lots of tea, raw honey, rest,

 this morning after a poor nights sleep.

***

My nose is now like a sink faucet not just dripping but pouring and 

getting jammed up instead of able to pour.  Ah colds and congestion.

Whenever I do anything I do it 'really well' esp when it comes to colds.

I really hope in 3 weeks I will not still be sick.

My Husband is on the mend but he is not better yet either.

***

I managed to do a lot, partly by feeling a great need...

I made another quart of elderberry syrup right as ours was going to be gone, 

I made chili to eat tomorrow as I know tomorrow I will be 

worse than today... I know my patterns in such things well.

I also cleaned up and filled up the dish washer

(I wore plastic gloves, disposable ones, while cleaning) as if I did not,

the mess would be overwhelming tomorrow.

Made it to vespers with Mr Husband. 

I finished Christmas at Thrush Green and loved it.

I finished listening to the Christmas Hirelings and loved that too. 

 ***

My Husband offered to take me to the diner after vespers

but I did not feel up to it. Then you know I am not feeling well.

The good thing is that during the day I can take medicine;

decongestants can wire me so I don't take them for sleep as they

do the opposite for me, sadly.

BTW, if you comment here via Google+ it looks like 

they are taking that away soon, so I do hope you can find 

another way to comment as I cherish each 

friendly voice here and Thank God for each of you,

new readers or, now, what we call 'old blog friends' :)

I am going to be having lots of teas for colds, 

and am so thankful that we have more than enough of everything.

My Husband, seeing my use of at least 1 full kleenex box today,

remarked that we may need to restock, as we only had 5 left. 

Yep, this is why I like to stock up.

Once you need it, you need it.

***

It was good to be at church tonight.

And I got lots of new blessed candles.

I light them for health esp and there are so many

who struggle with health issues...

***

Well, I better go back to bed.

Even though I did do various things, I did rest too,

just for the record!

Now if only I could get someone to bake me my corn bread tomorrow

to go with the chili! :)

God bless and keep you all.

May God's mercy hold us up and save us!
