I just did a telehealth, I told them I spiked a fever today (true, low grade tonight) but they felt it is still viral. Ordered prescription strength cough syrup and decongestants that can be picked up tomorrow. U that doesn't help, I'll have to go to Urgent Care in person. God help me. But maybe ill wake up tomorrow feeling like I've turned the corner.

I saw a picture of Monty with (I assume) Katie, and I thought he was such a handsome fellow. I didn't realize the big Schnauzers were that big! Our granddog is a mini-Schnauzer, although he's not THAT mini--25 pounds. He's a sweetie pie, even though he acts grumpy sometimes.

Yes, what Liz said! I feel like one of those television evangelists who like to slap people on the forehead and say, "Out, damned spot!" Or words to that effect.

Fingers and toes crossed that you are past the worst and will improve quickly (and that DH won't catch it).

Quick check in. I went to work today and was told multiple times by teachers and students, why are you here? The kids were kind of sweet, one was Mrs. DD, you have to go home, you're too sick. My team teacher said he would be disappointed if he saw me tomorrow. So I left during my prep,(luckily last hour of the day) and put in for a sub. As luck would have it, I got one of the good ones, so I'm trying to not feel guilty. I'm not getting worse, just not getting better. I'll surely turn the corner soon. DH is still okay :) Thanks for all the good wishes, you're all the best.

We always eat at home for Valentine's Day. It is much better having an evening without the crowds.

I did Dysport (like Botox) and really liked the results but once I retired decided that I can afford it. I tried fillers too and while the results were okay, the pain after was awful and I wouldn't do it again.
