MORNING WORLD. My mental attitude about getting better is very good today. I am hopeful that we will recover from co vid without side effects. Hopeful. Even though I have a lingering cough, awful fatigue, I am relieved that I have little pain. The nausea is bothersome and the metallic taste in my mouth is troublesome.
Keeping an eye on oxygen level and heart rate. Oxygen is very good, but the heart rate is lower than I'm comfortable with. Below 50. DON'T LIKE that. Have to walk about to get heart rate up some. The antiviral medicine PAXLOVID can cause bradycardia. I may be a candidate.
This morning, as I sit in the living room with the French doors open letting fresh air inside, I am a happy camper. The sky being grey overcast with temps 78 degrees, makes it so very pleasant. SO pleasant. It's wonderfully relaxing this morning. Love it. Hubby and I had a financial meeting early this morning with the breeze blowing in which helps keep the peace in our HOME. SO that we can be on the same page means much.
I had the energy to work on the bills this morning also washed some dishes. Didn't feel like eating breakfast as this awful metallic taste is still in my mouth. My appetite has been way too progressive the last few days and I have been over eating. I need to pull back for three days to allow my body to balance out.
Last night I gathered up the energy to clean on the miniature oven that sits on the countertop. Scrubbing the wire racks was overdue. I like having my appliances kept clean. Emptying two pull out drawers made room for bakeware. I now need to get extra large mason jars to house the baking staples. I will go get some in a few days when I am no longer isolating from the outside world.
The sooner I can get these, the better as they will serve a purpose in the kitchen. Having my fridge and kitchen cabinets clean and orderly makes me a better person. Hallelujah. This is a very small price to pay to be HAPPY.
Decorating ideas come to mind. Watching youtube vids helps. Lighter colors, less clutter. Less is more means what actually? Fill your spaces with imagination and thought. Earthy and organic. Greenery, raw wood, white walls.
This down time due to co vid is allowing me time to think making mental preparations for working on the Cottage and our main house. Physically unable...more waiting. Not running a fever. Will re-evaluate how I'm doing after the ten day period is over. My gut feelings about this...that I should wait until I have stopped coughing on my own. I haven't had a fever for days now. I don't believe I should be around others while still coughing and then I will wear a mask keeping my distance. On day 3 of antiviral. After the morning dose was taken I figured that I was half over the treatment. I will be thankful to be over taking this when the time comes as it is rough having this raunchy taste in my mouth.
Scripture verse drawn today: James 4:10
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Blessings,
