Feeling a bit better

[unicornduke]

Both my mom and I concluded that this cold was way worse than COVID. Yuck. I've spent most of the last three days in bed, napping on and off between trying to do the bare minimum to stay open for strawberries. My mom was nice enough to take over the register a bunch since she was already feeling better so that helped a lot. I was on register yesterday morning and by noon I was feeling like hell. Turns out, I was also having a period start which super didn't help. 

I also switched to using old tshirts as handkerchiefs because the quantity of tissues was too much. Just so gross. My urge to vaguely cough has turned into productive coughing this morning, I'm starting to bring stuff up which is super gross. 

I'm definitely still tired but way better than I was yesterday. I decided not to make a run to town since both of my parents need to run to town anyway and I don't wanna go. Today's my day off. I can send my town errands with one of them. Running an ebay thing to the post office and picking up two new eyebolts for my loom. Easy enough for someone else to do. I need to meal plan, but I think this week will actually just be rice and veg. Easy. 

I'm hoping to start winding a warp for the loom, I found some decent yarns last week on the crafting call. I'll need to do some math. I think if I rest decently today, I will be back up and running full speed tomorrow on register and tractor tasks which aren't too bad. 

In one of the discord servers I lurk in, I have tentatively signed up for a casual Tour de Fleece, spinning everyday as is my usual goal. I have also registered for an SCA event this saturday, bit of a drive and I might only be able to get there a half day, but worth a try. I need to find the box that has my garb in it....not a clue where it ended up. Might be in the shed? I think I labeled it...it might have been one of the last packed boxes? who knows honestly.

Be REALLY careful with this bug. At about 2 weeks out it still was powerful enough to crash me back into a prolonged nap in bed. Of course you are a lot younger...

I'm taking it very easy, don't worry! My mom got antibiotics and a steroid so she's recovering quicker than I am, but I haven't hit the woozy sleep urge that I had the last few days around noon. My nose is drying up which should help with the lack of sleep, I'll be able to lay down instead of sitting up to sleep.

But with the rain coming tomorrow and thursday (omg more rain, when will it end), the work should be easy stuff like register work or driving a tractor to mow and not long days.

That sounds awful! I hope you feel better soon.

I'm improving by leaps and bounds! I was awake and a-okay all day yesterday and only started drooping right at the end of crafting last night. I'm feeling much improved this morning and looking forward to doing some farm work today. Easy stuff, tractor work mostly!
