STILL A SICK PUPPY, but a tiny bit better than the day before. I didn't sleep last night. Grouchy and uncomfortable. Took some NyQuil and drifted off to sleep in the early hours of the morning. Slowly woke mid-morning. Chicken Noodle Soup for BRUNCH.
🫖 Sipping HOT Cinnamon Sunset Tea.🫖. Sipping tea during the day is helping me feel better. I am in really bad shape. This head cold is the pits.
As I fluttered about watching videos, one guy I watch mentions how this tea helped him when he had late night cravings. He switched from binge eating to sipping this particular tea. Changed his habits. I believe I can do the same. Instead of snacking late in the evening, I can drink some hot decaffeinated tea instead of popping junk in the mouth which adds junk to my trunk.
I was HOME SICK for my youth. I visited my childhood neighborhood via google maps. Smiling while touring the old places of my past. The place of business my dear Dad worked is GONE. No more there. Just in my memories for now. Liberal, Kansas wasn't a glamorous place when I lived there. It isn't any better now.
It hit me. This is why I wanted THINGS to ADD to my ESTATE. I had to have something that was mine. When someone goes for years not having very much, it can do some odd things to yo' psyche. I felt like I needed to have lots of things instead of having nothing. Still believe we should have things. If you cannot have what you want... compromising might take over.
As I have aged, I can let go of so much of the stuff and be alright with it. Old age caught up with me. 70 isn't exactly young. Being sick has taken a toll on me. Doing my best to rest and take it easy so I heal quicker. I am feeling slightly better.
Still coughing and stuffed up. Tired.
I haven't hung my CHRISTMAS WREATHS out on the doors yet. Being sick slowed this down. Got some hooks before this cold got a hold of me, but haven't gotten them installed. Perhaps tomorrow. Hubby and his drill will have to make holes for the hooks, then the wreaths will hang proudly. MY "It's beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS" has been slow to happen.
I had planned hanging the wreaths without them being decorated for now. I'll be using ribbon so the wreaths dangle from the hook. I have a stash of faux fruit gathered in a storage box and I know exactly where it is, so if I change my mind and hot glue faux fruit to the wreaths, I'd have a more Colonial look to it. hum. I'll give this some more thought.
One day, I'd like to go to WILLIAMSBURG in Virginia. For now I can take a peek at this place decked out for CHRISTMAS via internet. The houses are decorated with fruit from the front door wreaths to the fireplace mantles. I like the look.
Take a peek.
Such lovely places and ideas.
May you have a blessed day.
