Further to yesterday's jaundiced assessment of Me Time so often equating to Spending Money on Me Time these days I am in an odd position now, as since I typed that what was then an irritating dry tickly cough is now out-an-out flu or bronchitis (hard to decide) so I now have Me Time coming out of my achy ears. Justifiable Me Time. Pretty much compulsory Me Time.
I am right proper poorly, as my mother used to put it when we girls were little. If I could do something else I might, but so far all I've managed today is to fix myself poached eggs on toast for brunch, and dissolve a couple of sachets of what we in our family call Phelgmsip and stir in some honey, one at 8.30am.and one at 12.30pm. Oh, and have a hot bath (for the steam) and got dressed and up and vertical, so I was sitting with a fired-up laptop on my knee by about 1.30pm. Exhausted!
That might be IT from me for today. The sofa calls. So does Racing on Four. And later I may mull some red wine with cardamon pods, sliced ginger, cinnamon, cloves and honey. Because at least two of those will be a handy analgesic for the little mouth ulcers I now have on the tip of my tongue. Did I mention I also have neck glands like golf balls? And sinusitis dental pain? And a cricked neck, headache and sore intercostal muscles? Are you getting the picture? If not check this out

I am just like that only with sweatier, damper hair, much MUCH more coughing and very bravely not wearing PJs. For now.

just offering. You may also like to take a look at Tuesday's Menoloop post - if you can see through the snot. (&< sorry!)
Coddle, coddle and more coddle. A cuddle or two too. Both of these will be good for you know who! Healing Hugs, YAM.
Your recipes look like they could fell an ox, not just cure a cough and a cold! I'd used up all our lemons by the time I read them, so I have stuck to hot drinks and paracetamol for the headache and sore ribs. I've heard that garlic can ward off more than vampires, so I shall give it a go later today, after The Husband has gone out and restocked us with lemons.
DeleteFeeling quite a lot better today, so thank you for your kind concern and healing hugs. Almost feel normal, except when I sneeze or cough, so I must be over the achy muscles bit.
There's unnecessary ME TIME and really necessary Me Time and your's is the latter, Baby Sis. Lots and lots and LOTS to drink, keep warm and be kind to yourself.
ReplyDeleteBarty made tomato soup with cheese on toast with the crusts cut off for my tea. It was so nostalgic. I have half a mind to ask for Lucozade today as well!
DeleteWhat rotten luck.
ReplyDeletePlenty of hot drinks and with a bit of luck a winner on the geegees.
I only do imaginary virtual betting, Fly. I just love the animals, and the spectacle, and the fabulous skills of the jockeys, especially the jump jockeys.
DeleteAwwwww. I know exactly how you feel, exactly. Take care and hope you feel better now, immediately, if not sooner!
ReplyDeleteSweet of you to commiserate, Lesa. Lots better today, thanks, I had a pretty decent night's sleep, despite everything, so that has helped
