A Very Quiet Day

March 17, 2016

*Spring is in full bloom

 

This morning Ron did not wake me before he left for the office.  It was 12:00 noon when I woke up.  I sent Ron a text to tell him I was up and could be there in a couple of hours.  He said he was working on a bid for a customer and for me just to stay home.  I returned to bed and laid there for 2 hours - not going back to sleep, but debating how much energy I had.  Obviously it was not much.

At 2:00 I got up and moved to the recliner with my Kindle after having just a little lunch.  I read until 5:00 and then sent Ron a text asking him to pick up chicken pot pies for supper and returned to the recliner.  It was about an hour before he got home with them.  I told him he did not need to eat with me - I do not want him to take this cold.

All day, I did not even put on the Cochlear sound processor.  I just relaxed and enjoyed the quiet.  The television was not turned on.  I did not go out in the yard or anything.  About 6:00 this evening, I started to feel a little better.  Again, it was a shame that I had a day off and didn't feel like sewing.

For a while this evening I did talk to our daughter-in-law in New Mexico and it was good to hear her talking about her preparations for a speaking engagement that she has the middle of next month.   She will do a great job, I am sure.

My day was better than yesterday.  The coughing was not as bad, and the fever I was running last night was gone.  So many friends have mentioned having bad colds recently.  I think it was mid-November when I had a spell of bronchitis, so I am hoping this goes away soon and does not end up in my chest.
