Thanksgiving Prep and more
Tuesday before Thanksgiving: Breastfeeding ‘letdown’ started to come back in the middle of the night, and improved throughout the day. I got bread made, chopped it and other things to make the stuffing for the Turkeys, and got one of the turkeys stuffed and roasted, and sliced, then vacuum sealed (much thanks to Frank for…

Go figure
Go figure, the last post I wrote yesterday, I felt much better. My throat felt better. Big deal it was! Really. But by the time it was nearing bedtime I was aware of the truth. I was only going downhill. I have a cold. I am now miserable. Bad night, awoke with the clock by…

The Heat is Here
It was cool last week … well, let’s see, the week that was the last one in May. My time is messed up a bit, we’ve been HOT and sick and generally those two aren’t so good together, if you know what I mean. Temps in the house have been 85 degrees F. or higher…

Spring Colds
A few days ago Asa sounded kind of sick, then he started sneezing and was listless for a day or two (nice in a way since he didn’t get into the usual trouble he does … he’s still at that age … 4). He coughed up some chest congestion Saturday night and so with that…

Winter and Spring doing their thing
I’m up just for a short while. It’s tiring being up, but also tiring being in bed, though it feels good to stay there, my mind wanders far from it and forces me up now and then. Whatever that means! So I was looking at Accuweather’s 15-day Outlook, and it seems to me it’s going…

Conquered
Yesterday morning I prodicted that maybe I would be next, that before wasn’t the whole thing. How right I was! Late afternoon I was so tired. Frank was up, but dragging around, had to go out and pick up something, so when he came back I said “I need a nap!” and he agreed that…

Expanding Sickness
Sickness has expanded to all members of the family now. Asa and Frank went down last night. That leaves me having gone through a super mild version of whatever it was earlier … so I got off light, or else more is coming to meet me … :veryshocked:

Sickness Grows
Russell just got sick. He wasn’t until he had breakfast. 🙁 Frank is gone today, doing some work with one of his clients. So a Saturday is not a good day when it’s a Daddy-gone-day and things go bad. Sick time, just not a good time, of course. It’s worse though, for he threw up…

Thursday awlfuls turn to Friday good
Last night I wrote that I wasn’t feeling well, and Victoria was sick too. So I went to bed at 6:30pm and just layed there, watched TV and rested. Frank went to the store and got TV dinners for the children, and some mac and cheese from the deli and a ham slice for me.…

Started out Cold, ended up Chilling
It’s been another chilly day — and harder to deal with today, as the sun hasn’t been out and shining on the back of the house all day as it needs to in order to warm up inside on a day like today, that starts out very cold and warms up to over 50-degrees slowly.…

Worse Cold of the Season
I’ve had some sniffly sore throat things this “winter season” but nothing like the one I’m enduring now. Yesterday was the worst day since symptoms started, with it culminating with me hightailing it to bed just after 7pm. Too miserable to sit in a chair anylonger. Too miserable to stand around. Just needed to chill…

Virus/Cold and stuff
I’m feeling miserable. Asa was first in line. A few days before his birthday he sounded kind of stuffy, and worse each day, and is now doing better. I, on the other hand, began feeling weird a few days after his birthday, and have been drowning in it badly since Saturday. Initially I only had…

Misery
Well my illness is progressing nicely. My right ear is burning and stuffy inside, my sore scratchy throat of yesterday was a different scratchy this morning and had become totally just a SORE PAINFUL RIGHT-side of my throat burning swollen horrid thing by Noon. Now it’s only worse. I just took some Excedrin, barely could…

Chased down again
Victoria and Asa have had loose congested coughs after awaking each time the last week, nothing major, but noticeable. Also, Victoria does do some coughing during the day, but only occassionally. Neither complains of any illness. Asa also has that runny nose deal … it’s clear, which means nothing to me anymore. I’ve had cold…

Finally sick, figures.
We’ve all had colds, light ones, since a day or so before Christmas. Well, they progressed to just drippy and sneezy and scratchy throat off and on for us, but for me, it’s gotten worse since Saturday. That evening I was feeling worse, and also had felt allergic more than sick, so I took some…
