Sore throat has retreated to a manageable level. I've added more cold symptoms - sneezing, runny nose and a little coughing, but none of it terrible. Enough is enough though. Zero out of 5 stars.
Such interesting balloon patterns today. They were moving in directions I haven't seen them move at speeds I haven't seen them reach and then suddenly end up back where I first saw them. The winds must be eddying. And it was a beautiful sunrise with lots of color. I hope tomorrow I will wake up with no symptoms!
I placed a Safeway pick up order so I don't have to go into the store. So I need to clean myself up to go get that later this morning. And I need to change and wash the sheets. I think my fever sweats bleached my pillowcase! I know some skin products can do that, but I don't use any that I know of. Another casualty of the covid.
Kirby has been bored with my inactivity so he's been destroying toys. He's board certified in the field of squeakerectomies. So that's a mess I need to clean up today.
Did I tell you that I contacted the breeder about a sibling for Kirby? I said that I thought I'd not made it on the waitlist since I hadn't heard from them and the last time I had, they said maybe late summer for a puppy. They answered and said I am on the waitlist still. They have had to outsource studs from other breeders (must have all their girls too closely related to their studs?) and the pairings have not resulted in many puppies. But they think maybe by spring. So I am still in line for a puppy. Eek. Kirby would love it.
So that's all for now. Off to shower!
Not really. DSD was sick before Christmas but seemed symptom free during the Holiday. A little coughing for DH but nothing concerning.

The weather has more or less bounced back after being in the low to mid 30s in the mornings Tuesday through yesterday. This morning I didn't have to turn the heat on in the house. The high today is supposed to be in the mid 70s with a low in the high 50s. That is more or less normal temperature for January in Florida. It looks like the next couple of weeks will be similar.
All the Christmas decorations were put away yesterday. Always a little bit sad to do. But I won't have to worry about getting it done this week before our next company. DS arrives Friday.
Not sure what is on the agenda today other than the Justice walk and yoga at 10. Maybe go to the beach? It has been a long time since we have been there!
Have a sassy Saturday!

I agree with CC on using wipes and being careful not to touch your face unless you have recently washed your hands. Over time got more careful about common surface touching to avoid colds and flu prior to covid. The three times I had covid were all from extended contact with someone I knew who was sneezing and coughing into the air (daughter, friend, SIL).
16 dresses does sound like a lot - I assume you will be able to wash clothes periodically?
We are going to read This Tender Land for the book club after consultation with the woman coordinating it. It was a beautifully written book so I am happy about that. Thanks again!

Strange dream! Maybe derived from some television show you watched recently?

Sounds like you're doing all the right things! Having never had Covid, I think I convinced myself I was secretly immune. So I've never been boosted. And I haven't had the flu in a million years, so I don't get that one either. I've been sicker than this in my life, but the throat part is particularly unpleasant!
With so many viruses, it's not that you breathe it in, it's that you pick it up on your hands and transfer it to your face. Scratch an itchy nose, something in your eye, etc. If a mask reminds you to not touch your face, I think that's one reason to wear it, but otherwise, wipe down with a Clorox wipe every common surface you encounter in the airport (think of how many people sit in those waiting area chairs
) and at your plane seat (the seatbelt buckle, tray table, seatback pouch, recline button, armrests...) and that's probably better than a mask. I forgot my pack of wipes and didn't do it this time. I'm out of practice flying!

I must have had a conservative pediatrician. Despite having impressively large tonsils and having strep a lot, I still have mine! My doctor never called me back today unfortunately...
119.8. Downward part of my up, down cycle I guess. Appetite has been diminished with sickness.
Felt better this morning but venturing out to get our driver's licenses and new tags for the car and a short grocery shopping trip proved to do me in! Even with a nap, I feel like I could go to bed for the night.
Happy packing and altering, pot roasting, Justice walking and getting rid of razor blade throat symptoms!

My throat felt just like strep with my last bought of Covid! Hope you get relief soon my dear!
Interesting that the throat pain is from the inflammatory response rather than the virus itself. Body in overdrive!
