What's on your Wednesday Menu?

Morning everyone! Let's start with the good news--I do not have COVID! And I do not have Strep. Yay! But the docs says there is a really nasty common cold floating around and my symptoms match it exactly. It starts with a wicked sore throat and fatigue, and devolves into 10 days of terrible congestion and coughing. Yuck.

I ended up taking all of yesterday off and barely even worked from home because I needed to take a few naps. I called in sick again today but I really need to get a lot of work done, so I hope I am a little better today and can work from here.

QOTD: How many COVID tests have you taken? I only took 2 this entire time. We never needed to travel, so the only times I took tests were because I had symptoms...once in October 2020 (when I randomly got a cold even though I hadn't left the house in months), and yesterday.

Yesterday I thought I would be on liquids because of my throat but swallowing liquids seemed to hurt as much, if not more, than swallowing food. I ended up having an egg bite, a beef stick, and a turkey burger yesterday. No food plans for today, except that I have a ton of Buffalo Cauliflower in the fridge and I should really make an attempt at eating that before it goes bad.

Good morning JB and I sure hope that nasty cold doesn't last 10 days for you! Yucky.

My mom's car has to get its oil changed and get the brakes checked out...oh and state inspection. Lots of fun at the dealership...LOL

Feeling rather blah. All I want to do is sleep but when I try something always prevents it.

QOTD: just once here for a procedure at the hospital last year

B: JUST egg, cheese, chicken sausage and coffee before

L: Fairlife salted caramel protein shake

D: shrimp and yellow squash cooked with onions

S: watermelon, cheese & popcorn

Good Morning!

coffee with fairlife(i like half and half better but calories )

shake

soup and beyond burger

we leave town again(sigh) Friday morning so I'm trying to get ready for that. Did laundry last

nigt and we have been eating the extras out of the fridge so it looks pretty bare. I hit the ground running when we get back so it will be interesting

So sorry you were sick for so long. I'm glad you're doing better.

Good morning! Updating from the back of the car, on the way to meetings. I did get out this morning and walk the town which was nice.

qotd - only one when I had a weird lymph node thing in the fall.

I forgot how much food they bring in for meetings. The smell of the donut holes and cookies (both of which I resisted!) was Devine.

menu was

coffee plus half and half

half sausage patty and English muffin with pb

inside of a veggie sub and a choc chip cookie

100 calorie fruit and nut pack

cliff bar

fingerling potatos with raclette and filet

i went on a morning walk to the river and then tonight we have to play top golf so that my exercise.

Great Job on the resisting. Very proud of you.

The cold sounds NASTY, but definitely good news on what it isn't!

The gray, gloomy, depressing weather on Cape Cod continues today, but it was almost nice out in Newport RI yesterday. No drizzle and almost peaks of sun at times. We had a great walk and lunch on the wharves and a beautiful drive along the ocean and mansions. Mike had never been there and was blown away by the drive.
