A nasty
virus has swept through our household, I’m afraid. It started with my oldest daughter who passed
it onto her sister who then passed it onto me.
While they seemed affected mostly with sinus stuff my illness went right
to my chest. As an asthmatic that tends
to get a good case of bronchitis every year I wasn’t thrilled.
Luckily,
we are on the mend and so far, knock on wood, I show no signs of bronchitis. My hyperactive immune system seems to be
working overtime. We also were fortunate
there were no sinus infections. I was wondering
at one point with my girls. A couple of
our friends also came down with it and we think they fared worse than we did.
It
started out with one mother bear of a headache and a sore throat. We all agree the worst part has to be how
completely exhausted we have been. It
feels like we just can’t get enough sleep.
Needless
to say, I have been incredibly grateful for the frozen meal components I had
stashed in the freezer. I had an
assortment of soups, spaghetti and meat sauce and burrito filling to pull out and
thaw so it made meal preparation much easier for us.
One night,
I have to confess, I did stop at the store and pick up a deli chicken and an
already prepared salad. I don’t mean a
sack of prepared lettuce but an actual salad already made up in a plastic
bowl. Just serve and add salad
dressing. When I told my Mom about it
she said she knew we were really sick.
Our
house is a complete disaster. It has
been all we could do to keep up on dishes and laundry and even that has been
hit and miss. At this point I really
could care less. The important thing is
we are on the mend. This other stuff
will wait for us… unfortunately.
Glad to hear all of you are on the mend. The house will wait while all of you get back to speed.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. I keep telling myself that. :)
DeleteBeing sick is the worst. We've all had multiple illnesses this past winter with some still lingering around.
