Friday, The cold is here!


 This is how I feel, and I don't think I even look this good. I've reached the stage of the cold is definitely here. I just want to crawl back into bed so bad.

I have three more prom dresses to do and when I get those done, I am going to go to bed.  I did take a dose of Dayquil and I am hoping once that sets in, I might feel a little better.

I keep coughing and changing my drawers, probably too much info, but I am sure most of you can understand.

My kitchen is dirty, my house needs a vacuum, there is ironing to do, and I swore I would not let that get ahead of me this summer. but right now, I really don't care.

Made myself a can of hot soup, something I rarely do, I just wanted something hot, before I entered the shop.

I did get 5 dresses done yesterday so three are tolerable for today.

 We need to buy per-lite, peat moss and some garden soil for our new bed.  I would like to get the flowers planted this weekend, but at this rate I don't think that is going to happen.

I can do this. She tells herself, as she enters the shop.

DO you ever have to talk to yourself to get your body to do something?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. Recently I had a bout of bronchitis/pneumonia/asthma flair and had to revert to using disposable items with some extra padding to help with all the coughing side effect issues I had :-) Hopefully you will feel better soon!!

  2. I hope you're feeling better soon. Being sick is miserable. Don't push yourself too hard. It sounds like rest is what you need.

  3. I have to talk to myself to get me to do almost anything!
    Hope some sleep and appropriate drugs will help you turn the corner!

    1. Well the meds I take lower my immune system to almost nothing, so I do catch everything that comes along. The only thing I could do to stop this is live in a bubble. Just like my foot getting infected from a blister. I just have a watch and be careful. Traveling and getting on planes is a sure fire way to get sick. I just refuse to give in.

  5. I’m in the same stage of life. You are not alone. I talk to myself, too, and don’t care who hears it. Rest, the work will be there tomorrow.

  6. Self pep talks. It's nightly. I say my prayers, then talk to myself that the next day I'll get it together. I hate colds. People still expect functional adults.

    1. I know me too. But I have decided not to function at full capacity. I am going to do what I feel I can and that is it.

  7. I am right there with you! I am literally exhausted lately. I think it must be allergies, but whatever it is, I am feeling my age! Take it easy, my friend. Hugs from rainy and damp Pennsylvania.

  8. I understand. Why do you think I own 30 pairs of panties? Or, should I say underwear?

  10. Oh, Kim! I had a long day of medical procedure yesterday, preceded by a day of, ahem, "cleansing" for said procedure,so totally totally got the underwear reference. I hope you can spend some of this weekend resting in hopes of getting ahead of the cold. Hugs, my friend.
