Well Thursday was another day where I didn't do much except laze around with this cold, flu, virus or what ever you want to call with a runny nose, coughing, tired muscles and generally malaise or just not up to it, but that being said, it does seems to be a little better each day since Tuesday. Nancy actually did a video with her doctor and she prescribed some antibiotics and a nasal spray enough for two weeks so she shared one with me and while overnight it made a difference in turning the conditions favorable. She also made a huge pot of chicken noodle soup which I always think helps with turning colds out. Two of our couples we had supper with on Monday and then played game both tested positive for the virus and now have quarantined so we plan on delivering the soup and some cake to them this morning (Friday).
I've been catching up on my rest throughout the day reading 4 books this week, all non fiction from a murder case in Alaska to sailing in the 1800 with the whaling industry and the mutiny of the ships crew to WW11 and the not much publizied battles in New Guinea with the Japanese. Dreadful place for both fighters with the elements causing nearly as much death and injury as bullets. Great read titled THE GHOST MOUNTAIN BOYS. Its amazing how they over came starvation and diseases of this tropical island and I learned a lot about the glory seeking General MacArther who cared less about soldiers than headlines. The truth is hard to swallow about this man who sent men as cannon fodder to further his stature, oh well.
I did hand water the garden and while the morning temps were on the brisk and chilled side of 50's it did warm up to the upper 60's and nearly 70's with bright sunshine by days end. We have decided to cancel any in person evening services for the fear of maybe infecting someone by our illness. We aren't sure if we contracted the virus but since two of our couple we ate and played games with tested positive we decided to stay put. The Tracy's cancelled coming here as well later after the service so it will just be us and the Botbyl's and we will still have the large Christmas breakfast on Saturday will all of our family and then the family dinner later on Christmas day evening. I think Gus may back out but I think Betsy will still come and we will send plates home with her for them. Bobby's family will come for breakfast and gift opening but not for the dinner as they have to take Annsley and Gabe back to Jill, LATER
