Definitely feels like I gargled with razor blades.
Good to hear that you are on the mend! It was cold walking this morning but not as much as yesterday. Should improve day by day.
I haven't had a Cornish hen in years. May have to resurrect a recipe for them.

Hoping for a pain free throat for you! Hopefully you will go quickly through this bout (the last time I got it it was only 3 days).

120 even!
Feeling much better today! Yay! Sounds like CC is on the mend too!
Still on the chilly side here and while I'm feeling much better, I still plan to take it fairly easy today. So far breakfast is consumed and nails are half painted. Need to dry first two coats and then continue with last two!
New Years tradition for dinner tonight. Cornish hens with mashed potatoes and gravy! I loved having an entire chicken on my plate when I was a kid! Thought it was so cool!
Hope the Justice walk isn't too chilly Liz! Keep on resting up and getting better CC. When I got Covid so bad last January, my sore throat felt like I was swallowing shards of glass! No bueno! The body aches and fever sucked too!
Wishing you all a great start to 2026!

Happy new year! Rain pretty good this morning. My water dog doesn't care for pottying in the rain. But he loves getting toweled off.
I took the nighttime flu medicine I picked up yesterday and slept really well. I figured it really just has a decongestant (hoped it would stop the throat drip) Tylenol for the fever and a sleep aid. I was in bed by 8. Woke up and took it again at about 2. And woke up with my normal 97.7 temp! Immune systems are wonderful things!
Now if only this wicked sore throat would leave, life would be great.
Raining here this morning. Normally I would take down the decorations today, but not sure I feel like it. Maybe tomorrow...
Getting ready to watch the Rose Parade on the KTLA app. They always have the best coverage that puts everyone else's to shame!
Tale care all!
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).
