Thanks, Lighter. Sorry about their symptoms (and your fall!!) but glad you're aware and not doing macho stuff. Rest, hydrate, keep it simple...this too shall pass. But I can so understand some angst running beneath the calm coping. Who wouldn't.

Plumbing crisis is over and fixed and I just won't use him again. It was illustrative.

Zooming with poet friend shortly so won't linger, but I was glad to get your update. I don't eat mammal or bird flesh (do eggs and minimal dairy though), but amazed myself by making a veritable vat of cabbage-veggie soup -- enough to share with neighbors and to freeze. It's yummy. There was a funny guy on YouTube who narrated it so simply I thought, I can do THAT! His biggest tip was No Boiling. I made it quite spicy. Overnight the flavors mellowed a lot. Added beans and brown rice for protein and am going to eat a big bowl daily until it's gone. Hoping for a gradual kick-start on getting rid of my body's Covid display. Fluffy, shall we say.

Hang in there. Don't worry about perfection in anything!

hugs

My sister is readying to drive across the Canadian US border next week IF they can. Their test results expire the afternoon they're making the attempt...... will try to go at 8am, but there's quite a bit of fear AND sis's SIL and 3 grown children and their SOs just got over COVID, so it's hard to say whether they're incubating it or not...... are any of us?

Apparenting the SIL's group all experienced flu symptoms with half of them vomiting.  Sounds terrible till I remember they recovered.

sKePTiKal:
Most people DO recover - in varying lengths of time. So don't fret unless there are new, more symptoms.

Hopalong:
Yes. Don't feed fear.

Feed rest, trust in healing, slooooooow and peaceful waiting it out.

hugs and health,
Hops

PS Search out reasons to feel happy. Moments. Peace. A smile.
You're in cocoon mode, doing human. Doing it together.

L is miserable, very snotty, coughing, exhausted and her voice is still gone....... throat hurts very much. Just miserable. Her eyes over her mask look like she's crying, even when she isn't.

J isn't feeling any better, but she's not feeling too much worse..... just like when she got the flu vaccine, she said and that lasted for days..... she was sore all over and feverish. 

I hope I have it too and I don't get miseraly sick.  I really don't want to be miserable...... last time I had the flu it took me down for a month and I was shocked at how ill I was.  Hoping I don't feel terrible isn't giving in to fear.
