I don't know what is going on with this respiratory thing, but I think it has outstayed its welcome here. I thought I was better last night - but it seems evening (or when I actually start talking) throws the coughing in. Went to bed around 9PM, after hubby got home. Noticed he has started coughing. I slept in here, one more night, I said. And the coughing started and lasted until I finally got up around midnight and went to the recliner, where I finally stopped coughing and was able to rest until about 4AM. Still, 2-3 hours of good sleep feels good. Hubby got up and got on his way to his bible study, but said he wasn't going to visit Chuck today, which means he will be home around 9:30AM. I had him take some alka selzer plus before he left, hoping that will check his coughing, which isn't bad (yet), but has started.
I've taken all my meds for morning and nothing more until evening when I take the 2nd antibiotic and nasal - then I'm done with the nasal spray; doc said only take for 5-6 days. I don't know that I need it; it is to relieve the pressure in the sinus area. I had a piece of toast with peanut butter and honey on it. And a cup of coffee. I think I'm about ready to face the day. Maybe. I've also stripped this bed; the mattress cover is now in the dryer and the sheets are in the washer. And yes, I remembered to spray the oil spots.
Interesting, an email from my company just popped up (yes, I'm on the work computer) and it says that April is Donate Life month, sharing about transplants. How ironic is that? My daughter has had a bone marrow transplant back in 2001, and now, my soon my son will be on the list for a liver transplant. Believing all things work for good for those who love the Lord. And I do love Him.
Btw, today is 'Good Friday'. Take some time to pause and think about what that really means. For some, it's a 'holiday' and they get off work. But that is not so much anymore. When I lived in Indiana, either the office closed at noon on Good Friday, or we were allowed to leave, for many at that time would go (Catholics mainly) to church and be there to think about what Christ has done for each one of us. Yes, we could still take it off if we want, but people rarely recognize Good Friday for what it means - much like they miss the significance of Maundy Thursday, which was yesterday. But the best day is coming soon! SUNDAY! Jesus is ALIVE! And He lives in each one of us who love Him and know Him and have accepted and believed in Him. Hallelujah!
I have the candy ready for my son if he gets a chance to stop over before they head south for the weekend. I hope they have a wonderful weekend celebrating their 35th anniversary! The plus is getting to see their beautiful granddaughters and daughter (oh, and the SIL).... I'm jealous. They will pick up my girl scout cookies too, and so next week I will have to decide to freeze or inhale them. I ordered soooo many boxes. LOL When I told my son how much I spent (I don't know how many boxes I ordered), he was so surprised - but I just told him 'she's my great granddaughter - of course I'd buy a lot from her (as long as I can)'! I also contribute to her school fund-raisers, just because I can. I love that my granddaughter tries to keep me updated on the girls with photos and activities. Brings my heart much joy. The thought arises within me..... if I retired, I could go down and visit.... but then too, sigh... I'd stay at a hotel to not be an inconvenience to their schedule and I'd need money to pay for it. Guess I need to figure something out, huh! LOL
Reminds me, I still need to call Big O and schedule an appointment to get 4 new tires before Jailbreak, as we will take my car. Why Big O? Because when I (or hubby) go to get air put in our tires, they come out to do it without hesitating, are always joyful, are always polite. They never yell at someone else to do it; whoever is there, walks out immediately and checks the door for the pressure amount and then proceeds. My tires? I believe they are the original tires as it is a 2017 and I bought it in 2019 or 2020.... and I now have 55K+ miles on it - and from what others have told me, they are the original tires. Plus I need an alignment so might as well have it all done, right? $$$ yeah, I know, but I don't plan to get another car; this one is it. And the tires ARE old....
Well, time is getting away from me and I still need to figure out my grocery list and call Big O so will jump off here. Hope that you have an amazing day.
Blessings!
(maybe I can get back on track thought-wise next week)
