I'm glad B arrived safely.

Maybe it's time to change his phone number.

You must be missing him a lot right now, Amber.

And you'll find yourself in the space that you're keeping warm for him.

Aw I'm glad all the B stuff is working out, Skep, I don't know how he manages those long drives at night, I get so tired on a long journey.  I hope his house sale all wraps up easily and he gets the last of his things out and back up to yours :)  Aw, it's really cute, do you think he'll be all moved in properly by Christmas.  You can all have matching Christmas PJs lol :) xx

S came home from work 2 weeks ago; sick. A week later it was Hol's turn... and now I've got the crud. SIGH. I'm doing all the usual; no I don't think it's Covid. I'm still getting SOME stuff done as long as I pace myself.

Yoicks, Amber, sorry to hear this.
Hope you succeed at pacing yourself, or maybe a couple
days of just being, rather than so much doing?

Yucky bugs begone. Glad you're sure it ain't covid, cold
viruses are still having fun with us. If you decide to check,
these come in the mail fast, in my experience. They're free.

No fatigue Hops; very slight fever and a few muscle aches. It wouldn't even rank as a bad flu. (And I have had those). The worst is the uncertainty of where I am in space when I'm moving around and when stationary - assorted similar wonky perceptions. And the nagging headache... which isn't that bad, just won't go away.

Good thing I was able to stir myself to make a fast pot of chicken soup yesterday.

Had to go sit up at the shop and wait for a delivery of an important piece of equipment for B's tools. The morning chill felt pretty good this morning. His next run up here is first week of November and he'll likely be here for weeks again, unless he's at the point with his appts that he can go collect everything for the last move.

Hope it passes fast. Glad the symptoms are light.
In my experience, hearing about it from about 8 people, covid turns up very differently in different people at different times. Some barely noticed but tested since they realized they'd been exposed; others were really flattened, sick as dawgs.

Personally, I'd test because I'd want to know either way. But YMMV.

Thanks Lighter! Workin' on it.

Hops, since all three of us have basically the same symptoms, if Hol tests we'll have a better idea. I've got some gastro symptoms going on too now. Ginger & lemon tea seems to be helping that. But it does remind me more of some awful "daycare" bugs we got exposed to while I was still working. I reallly haven't had more than a cold or sinus congestion since I quit working.

Yoicks.

I know you'll weather it well, mountain Mama.
But it ain't fun, and I'm sorry!

Well. I don't feel anything like I did when this first hit... but I'm still feeling "weird in the head". Like between my ears, eyes & sinuses. And that's annoying because of the recent sinus/ear episode I had. I really don't want that back. We're getting a stretch of steady soft rain this morning and it's warmed up some this week. Not bad for October.

Hol's already cancelled this weekend's girl get together coz people have kids. She had a bit of a relapse yesterday evening, but her hot bath & bed ought to cure her low tolerance for boredom and doing nothing, self-created challenge. But then, she did have things she HAD to do earlier in the week. Me, I just put everything on hold - including the oregano I harvested and dried last week. It's gonna have to go back in the oven again before the jar, I think. Been a week.

I have one quick post office run to make out today, then see if I can get my brain to focus on the collection of financial numbers my book keeper sent me. I've got decisions and phone calls to make before the end of the year.

It's been peak color in the trees around here up till this week. I think this is about the end of that. It was glorious while it lasted. But I still have all my yard clean up and garden prep to do; some landscaping around the shop to manage drainage. Projects out in the studio. And not much energy yet or recklessness to push it. I would like my head symptoms - brain fog - to completely go away before I attempt too much. Appetite is back though; craving weird things I don't normally eat.

Well, kitties want their breakfast. I think I'm gonna be fine... so y'all worry about and entertain yourselves!  ;)

Loud 'n clear....no clucking!

Keep us posted anyway and we can cluck on our own time.

Or NOT cluck. Celebrate Amber's sturdy resilience!

I'm for that, hang in there.

Maybe more accurate description:

absurdly stubborn refusal to be laid low just because "I don't feel good".

The worst seems to be past now. But the head congestion and runny nose stuff is back again. Brain fog has cleared too. I'm still not going to push myself to "do" until next week. I was in the middle of cleaning the guest room when this hit. Buck's coming home end of next week. And it's just going to be fine no matter what. Still, I'm going to take it pretty easy through the weekend. I'm sleeping heavily, still.

This wasn't your normal head cold or flu, but it wasn't THAT far off. Could be whatever this new variant is, ya know? Less threatening.

What a PITA, Amber.  I hope your at full speed soon.

I'm still not recovered full from March Covid bout.
