I picked up a Covid/flu A/flu B test at Walgreens. After 5 years, I've finally caught Covid! I suppose on the upside, I've felt worse. The fever is yucky, and my throat is sore, but otherwise I'm not on my deathbed or anything. Lousy way to ring in the new year. and I didn't lose my sense of taste, so that's nice.
I like to keep the heat around 66-68 during the day. (This morning I didn't bother to turn the heat up because I was going to leave to take Molly to the vet and Ron was still sleeping. It was 62 in the house.)
After dinner, if it's chilly outside, I will jack the heat up to 69 or 70 tops. I'd rather wear a sweatshirt or hoodie than breathe the hot, dry air.
It's during the summer time heat that I suffer. I have such trouble falling to sleep if I am too warm. On really hot nights I will turn the AC down to 68 so I can get to sleep!
120.2 Not much of an appetite with the sickness but am eating!
As I said in reply's to others, no NYE celebrations for us tonight! I might make Hello Fresh chicken chili. With our cold snap here, that actually sounds good!
I feel a hair better today (less of a sore throat but still have headache and fatigue) so hoping that I will feel even better tomorrow. We have appointments to get FL drivers licenses on Friday, so I want to be recovered by then for sure. Fingers crossed that DH doesn't get it!
Liz, grouper on the grill sounds divine. I love grouper! I love grilling a combo of peppers, onions and zucchini with seafood if you are still looking for a veggie idea. Grilled asparagus with mushrooms is also a yummy combo!

That lounge with the small plates does sound perfect! DH and I love going to tapas restaurants! No NYE celebration for us this year. I will be surprised if I make it to 8:00, even with a nap in already today.

Sorry you are still feeling ill. It does sound like the flu or Covid. I took a nap already too and my fever broke and I woke up in a pool of sweat! Yuck! Showered and have just been sitting in my chair all day! Thankfully no body aches for me. I hate those!

Interesting about the Evenity shot. It makes sense. I found my Wegovy stings. something fierce if I don't let it warm up for awhile. Good news it is not going to hurt like the first one, because you still have 10 shots ahead of you.
It's snowing again. 24 inches so far this winter, but not all of it is still on the ground, because there have been some above freezing days that melted it down a bit. The freeways are fine, but the side streets are still sloppy and icy from Sunday's storm. When I saw the snow this morning, I wasn't sure I wanted to drive, but I did and it wasn't too bad. So I ended 2026 with a workout and I feel good!
Our friends who host our annual NYE party are in Argentina today, so we're on our own. We decided to do lunch, and probably won't stay up for midnight because dh works 7-12 tomorrow. We're driving into the city to go to Capitol Grille. We've never been, and I discovered they have a small plates menu for their lounge/bar so we made reservations for the lounge. It's almost perfect: lovely restaurant with some upscale food and ****tails, but not too much food : )
Tomorrow we visit our friends vacation home, and the new year begins!
Sorry you are sick, but love hearing your voice!
