Among Friends

[Shanus]

The fireplace is going and I have my coffee. It's just me and Molly on the sofa. DH is snoring away until 6.

I have a cold from h*ll and slept most of the day yesterday, so I'm sure tossing and turning all night could be expected.

Covid test negative...twice. ...No fever just a never ending cough!!! If it were a nice spring day, I'd be out anyway and stay busy, but with this freezing cold weather and a rainy day today I'm wise to stay home.

Hope all of you stay warm and toasty!!

Sorry you're feeling poorly. My cousin had a bad cough around Christmas and his doctor told him it was a type of flu going around. He and his wife don't get vaxed so I don't know if that would have covered what he had. I'm up every morning very early because I have cats who don't believe anyone should sleep in. Anyhow, you take care and hoping you'll be feeling better soon.

@catter70   Thanks. Oh I'm vaxed and boosted..double boosted if not more. I'm figuring just a bad cold since everyone in my area is sick.

@Shanus   Ugh, I was awake as well.  Sorry you are not feeling well, I have not had a cold in forever.  

My husband could sleep thru  most anything, what a gift.

Since my shoulder injury and surgery sleeping eludes me most nights.  Tossing and turning is not fun, like you sometimes I get up and read, eat (hope this is not a new habit).  I have never been one that can nap during the day, so a good nights sleep is important.

Hope you feel better soon.

@Shanus,

@Shanus 

I was too and I feel fine! Just couldn't sleep!

ETA: Love the furbabies!

How about RSV, goes to the chest, has coughing, prob. a temp.  We had it last year, shots this year.  So far so good.  Hope you get better soon.  Yes, rest is good for you.

I feel your pain. I also have been awake since 3:43. I finally decided to feed, water, and scoop my cats, listen for a time to an audio book, and finally continue working on organizing papers for my taxes. (I have macular degeneration, so organizing everything is getting harder, so I do the work in small segments.)

I hope we both feel and sleep better as the week continues.

@Shanus Your cold from h*ll could be RSV since quite a few people are experiencing this virus this season. Take good care of yourself and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen! Feel better soon...

@Shanus   So many people sick now.  My daughter and I were both sick with a nasty sinus headcold through the Christmas holiday.  It took a full 2 weeks for it to clear.   Using Simply Saline nasal spray mist found over-the-counter (made by Arm & Hammer), as per the doctor, worked wonders by not allowing the congestion to make its way down to the throat and chest.  

Feel better, drink lots of fluids and rest.
