Well Wednesday was maybe just a wee bit better than Tuesday but not much for me as we both are down with a major cold, flu or covid. Not sure which but it has sure knocked us for a loop, especially me who seldom is every sick. I did take a major antihistamine that we had brought with us and it has seemed to help some what but, thankfully I'm no longer achy or sore in the joints and muscles which is a blessings. I stayed out of bed all day yesterday although did cat nap while reading in the porch rocker. Monday and Tuesday were rough but a little better yesterday except for some coughing and sore throat.
I started the day with my usual routines of some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, I need that now for myself as well. Nancy is doing much better than I am at this point as she still has a little cough but no congestion and her sore throat is gone. I did feel could enough to do some minor things like harvesting some cucumbers and walking around the gardens straightening up some plants the stiff wind blew over during the day, but I mostly sat around except for a golf cart ride to the mailboxes.
I'm still taking raw garlic as well as gargling with salt water which helps and thankfully I'm no longer in pain or feeling washed out, its just the cough and sore throat that annoying. I never lost my sense of smell or taste so I think its just the flu or a bad cold, oh well. I did finish reading one book and nearly another one, plus we were on the go with the family every day and night last week and it caught up with us and wore my resistance down.
Katie showed some of these same symptoms when she got home on Sunday so it wasn't just us. Bobby called and said he had none and the boys seemed fine also, thankfully. Well we finished up the last of the leftovers and now start new. We have a ton of food in the cupboards and fridges to work through which is good since the cost of everything is out of sight. The squashes, cucumbers and lettuces are still producing as is the other leafy greens. I did harvest some Swiss chard, kale and beet greens to add to the lettuces the deer hasn't eaten in the upper garden. That small fence seems to be reason she hasn't got in there yet. I have green tomatoes the size of golf balls.
The zinnias are starting to head up as well as the marigolds and the hydrangeas are blooming out front and now the huge white one in the back is loaded along with the Rose of Sharon's bushes. The hummers are having a ball in them.
I did watch on the laptop the Ray's lose a close game 2-1 against those Yankees at the Trop last evening so I'm getting stronger or at least staying awake longer, LATER
