Day 4

In case you are wondering, it's day 4 of the virus and I woke up to the fever (again).  I thought for sure it was done yesterday.  It spiked at 103.2°F and with ice, stripping off clothes, and Tylenol, we got it down by bed time.  I felt great.

This morning?


Not so.  I am trying every herbal tea, essential oil, etc. I know.

At night I have to sleep almost flat due to the shoulder issue. The virus has brought on a cough, so that makes sleeping miserable.  Of course I make it miserable for Hubby too.  He's back to work today.

I am sipping mullein tea today, in hopes to kill off this cough.  I may even make a sage mouth rinse later, if I feel up to it.  Breakfast didn't even sound good, and that bothers me.

As for the corn, the kids and Hubby got it all in the freezer.  I can't say for sure it'll taste the same, but I can't complain.  The cucumbers and zucchini sit though.  

The bug bite on my leg was throbbing again this morning, so plantain went on.  It's the only thing that removes the pain, swelling and redness.  It's been very slow to heal due to me using store bought drawing salve a few days (too weak to go pick plantain).

Hubby's family continues to ask about me, even though they have a more difficult situation.  

Sister "L" had blood pressure issues, and they moved her back to SICU.  She is on morphine and simply being kept comfortable.   

I'll be back soon....

That's the problem . . . these things never go away as fast as we think they should/would/want. And for a person as busy as you are it's doubly hard to "take it easy" for as long as you need to to recover. Hugs and take care!!!

Sounds just awful.
Prayers for you.
I try to remember to use meat tenderizer on bug bites. I often forget though. Duh. LOL
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
