CHRISTMAS HEAD COLD

THAT HEAD COLD I WAS HOPING TO AVOID...got me.  Stuffed up nose, cough, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, mild headache, tired, raw throat and mild ear ache. NO FEVER that I can tell of.  I'll keep taking my Vitamin C's, D3 with K2, Zinc with Selenium. Best pop some Vitamin B.  I don't want to, but I have to rest.  DRINKING various hot teas.  Now I am really in slow motion and the cleaning may not get done.👎

10 days til CHRISTMAS.  A lot can happen in 10 days?

I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever get the house to the place it needs to be.  I will load up some STUFF for GOODWILL and take it in when I can.  Be done with it.

I AM A SICK PUPPY today.  I telephoned two doctors early this morning to reschedule appointments this week.  Because my eye sight has cloudiness and serious halos after cataract surgery almost two years ago, I have an appointment to get lazar treatment for PCO.  Posterior Capsule Opacification.  After reading, you shouldn't have this procedure with a head cold, so I may have to reschedule again if I'm not all better next Monday.  In the meantime, I will do all those things I can to help relieve the symptoms from this rotten head cold.  Ugggg.

A common cold can sure mess with you, can't it?  Yes.  It sure does me.

I also had an appointment with a ENT specialist this morning about a bump I have inside my mouth.  When it rains it pours.  I figured I didn't want someone slicing inside my oral cavity when I might cough causing additional injury.  So this will take place in 2026.  

Isn't this all so exciting?  Not really, but I figure something I say just might help somebody. Surprise.

My energies need to go into Christmas Cards for Family with gift included, so I get these into the mail at the end of the week.  If I don't make it, I'll give the gifts at Epiphany in January when Baby Jesus received gifts from the Wise Men.  Celebrating Christ's revelation as Savior to all people, not just Jews.

I will definitely KEEP CHRISTMAS simple this season.  Happy Birthday, JESUS.

The porch will not be decorated this year.  No lights hung.  I think I have to be alright with this. This has not stopped me from gathering some ideas for next year.  This is about as festive as I can be.  hohoho.

Vision of sugar plums might dance in my head.

HEAD COLD IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER

SNIFFLING SOME WITH A TINY BIT OF A SORE THROAT.  Woke the other morning with a stuffed up nostril.  Next day the other nostril was plugged up.  Watery eyes.  Popped some extra vitamin C and will throughout the day.  Will see if this stops this from getting worse.

A cold is not what I wanted.  Tis almost July.  I've had co vid twice that I know of with both times being in July.  Is my immune system so run down by July that I am a easy target?  Perhaps this won't be co vid at all and just a head cold.

STILL, being miserable with a head cold in the Summer is a pain.  Not sure what I could have done to prevent this other than taking Vitamin C all year long.  I had taken a sabbatical a few months ago from taking vitamins.  Back to it.   

Having soups will help me regain my strength.  Especially chicken noodle.  I will need to get some ASAP.  The soups I bought last week were without meat in them.  No broths.

I will force myself to do some laundry and finish cleaning off the dining room table.  So close to getting this done.  Seems like a simple goal, but has been difficult for me as I have been on the go so much and not HOME.  

Okay, here we go.  Drink more fluids, take more Vitamin C, and rest, but will I?  Better.

ON THE OTHER HAND.  I watched a video by a young artist who paints fluffy clouds in blue skies making it look incredibly easy.  I believe that after we get the art studio set up, I will try her technics.  I'd love to have a large oil painting in my Living room above the sofa.  Blue skies with fluffy clouds would be a nice decorating touch in my HAVEN.

Blessings to you,
