everything will be OK, just not today

cold and raining

It’s cold and wet outside, the heating in the garret has failed, and a few years ago I had pneumonia.  Today I feel manky.  The symptoms I have could be mistaken for COVID-19, but I’m certain that I am having an attack of bronchitis.  Hacking cough, headache, temperature, sore throat, hearing loss, aches and pains, tiredness, and I’m a bit confused.  I just poured hot water into my coffee jar instead of into my mug…..  Oh well, that’s one way of making very strong coffee,

There’s no way I will go and see my doctor, because there is no way I’m going to be hospitalised with a whole lot of people who really have COVID-19.  Home treatment for bronchitis means staying in the warm, drinking plenty of fluids, and taking aspirin and ibuprofen.  Although cough mixtures don’t really help much, even the placebo effect is better than nothing.

New Year’s Resolution: improve my health and fitness; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually ~ so that my immune system is working better.

I do hope that you are all feeling hale, hearty, and happy today.

I know that I’ll be better in a few days.

Happy New Year ~ Jeez…..
