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...
