DH had Paxlovid the last time he had Covid and it helped with the duration of the illness for sure and maybe less respiratory issues which always gets him with underlying asthma!

I hate the fireworks too. Emma dog goes nuts! Thankfully not too many boom, booms last night!

Happy New Year!!!

118.2 - 2.4 pounds less than a year ago.

So sorry so many of you are sick on the new year! DH joined you as well. He is congested with a sore throat and a headache.

Yesterday was enjoyable with our friends, other than DH starting a cold or whatever it is. The grouper came out really good and we served it with grilled asparagus, zucchini, and a salad. So a healthy meal all around. Everyone other than me was in bed by 9, with me following at around 10.

Our friends leave sometime around 9-10 this morning to drive to the Florida Keys to their house rental for the month. One of their daughters is flying there today to stay with them for the weekend.

Hopefully it starts to warm up a bit today. Our only plans are a Justice walk, then I am cooking the turkey casserole I made and froze after Thanksgiving.

Have a newfound New Year Day!

Happy New Year! Hopefully not too many fireworks last night. We saw a brief spurt, but it didn't last long.

I have never had paxlovid - the first 2 times I had covid it didn't exist and the third time I was in Spain. Covid has generally been more mild and lasted a shorter duration than a cold for me.

Well you rest up as well! I hope that chicken chili tasted good. Everyone here was in bed by 9 except me (I made it until about 10).

So sorry! Welcome to Covid. Hard to distingui**** from other stuff these days unless you lose a sense of taste/smell (which only happened to me one time out of the 3 times I had it).

So sorry you feel miserable. It does sound like the flu (DS is having the same symptoms).

When using heat, 64 during the day is cold. I set it to 68 during the day, and turn it off at night. When the AC is needed, it is set to 74 during the day and 67 at night.

Up north, I have the heat at 70 during the day and 62 at night.

Greetings all

Happy New Year - almost. It was sunny earlier but the drizzle has arrived. We watched our football team this afternoon and they embarrassed themselves at the Las Vegas Bowl. Oh well. Then I made a quick run to the gallery to pick up the last $$ for the year and run them to the bank. We have steamed chicken and a steak to eat so we are set for tonight. We will likely be asleep at midnight but I am sure some azzhats will set off fireworks; much to the dismay of Tesla.

So no partying here. DD that restaurant with the small plates looks great! My kind of restaurant. Enjoy the evening then start the big packing mission.

Jeepers Covid CC? No fun. Glad you got a test. Are you going to get that paxlovid or whatever it is? Anybody use that stuff? I wonder if it works. Lemon tea all around.

And Bonnie and Paula under the weather too? Good grief not a good start to the year. Rest and naps RX. Amazing that science has still not come up with a cold cure. Maybe they make more money on all the over the counter stuff.

Not much else. I am yet again going to try to eat better this year and do more exercise. May not get it done but a little matters as my Apple watch tells me.

Yep Peps cannot sleep too hot although I swear 68 in the dark is different than 68 in the daylight. Looking forward to more daylight,

Everyone in this town must have a wood stove going. I sort of like the smell but I am sure glad I don't depend on it for heat.

Grouper Liz!! sounds great. Enjoy,

Diane S
