HEAVENS. It's been 4 days since the new year started with celebrating it turning 2020 with a stomach ache. The week before my hacking cough hurt my chest. Suffering through this for a week, I thought I was better with the hacking cough silenced. An asthmatic dry cough started increasing as the stomach churned.
New Year's Day was interrupted with a sickness that has hung on for a few days. Stomach virus now. Praying this runs its course and I survive this awful condition. Cough syrup, emergen-c, dayquil, nyquil, anti-nausea meds, asthma inhaler, cough drops, chicken noodle soup, applesauce, club crackers, 7-up, ginger ale, jello, theraflu, the list goes on. Did I mention tums? Chewy.
My upper stomach hurt beyond anything I have had before when having the flu. A heaviness that hurts. Cramps additional. I'm praying I live. This has been a long two weeks. A very LONG two weeks. I have been able to rest and nap off and on. My dear Husband has been helping me by taking care of me. A blessing as he has retired from employment and is home.
The fatigue is real with weakness not far behind. I am making a big deal about washing hands with hot soapy water, taking vitamins and distressing. Praying for healing. I have time on my hands to think about all that needs disinfected and cleaned.
A week for weakness. Resting and having thoughts of what to do the rest of the month into the rest of Winter. Time will tell. God is in charge.
No fever the entire time. No headache. No aches and pains in the muscles and joints. If I can be positive about this I will certainly try. Time to pray and power through as best I can.
One day closer to Spring gives me HOPE.
WITH BEING ILL, I've had to sit and rest with an upset stomach. Time to heal and rest. Have slept, rested, read, prayed and watched the tele. Binge watched THE CROWN. Watching this on the big screen television made the series easy to watch, but the story line did not keep my interest. A bit boring. The costuming was beautiful, the interior shots massive, the scenery inviting, but the story line was a bit off for me. I suppose being ill didn't help.
One evening, we watched a 2012 movie called LAWLESS. Horribly graphic and oh so bloody about the Bondurant Brothers. Not a movie for young children. Some nudity, much violence and killing.
In 1931, the Bondurant brothers of Franklin County, Va., run a multipurpose backwoods establishment that hides their true business, bootlegging. Middle brother Forrest (Tom Hardy) is the brain of the operation; older Howard (Jason Clarke) is the brawn, and younger Jack (Shia LaBeouf), the lookout. Though the local police have taken bribes and left the brothers alone, a violent war erupts when a sadistic lawman (Guy Pearce) from Chicago arrives and tries to shut down the Bondurants operation.
TONIGHT, I am binge watching the series OUTLANDER. I was shocked at the nudity with the rating simply saying it was for mature audiences. Not for young audiences. Rating TV- Mature. I suppose it is, but this is a new one for me.
Outlander follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened.
SO far the episodes are keeping me guessing.
I HAVE STOPPED WATCHING THIS SERIES AS IT IS GLORIFYING RAPE
and adult sex even though it is between a husband and a wife. Entirely too much skin is showing and what is called soft porn is in abundance. What could have been a very interesting story was turned into a series that could have been without sexual intercourse. Absolutely appalled that young children can watch this graphic activity. Turn it off. Never start the series.
I'll be sleeping in my recliner again tonight as I think it best to sleep away from my Husband. The recliner has allowed me to sleep somewhat reclined and somewhat upright.
Breathing is easier this way.
Upset stomach present. Perhaps gone tomorrow.
Coughing still is a problem.
HUSH,
