I am feeling a bit better today although I don’t have much energy.  I did go to the doctor this morning.  I have a virus so not much he can do for me.  I did get something to help calm my cough.  My stomach hurts from coughing so much.  I haven’t had much of an appetite.  I did manage to get a cup of soup down this afternoon.

Went out to do chicken chores after my nap this afternoon.  It is absolutely beautiful outside.  I drove down to pick up my mail as I didn’t think I had enough energy to walk down and back.  No wind and mid 50’s.  Supposed to be even warmer tomorrow.

My temperature has stayed below 100 today.  Thinking by Monday I will be on the road to recovery.  The doctor did say I may have a rough weekend.  All I feel like doing is sitting or sleeping.  I am working to drink a lot of fluids even though food doesn’t sound good right now.

Being sick always humbles me a bit.  I take my good health for granted sometimes and having a set back like this always catches me a bit off guard.  Trusting this crud will pass quickly and I will be back to my normal level of physical activity soon.  I am a bit encouraged that today has been better than yesterday.

When I was in town I was going to stop and pick up a few groceries but after going to the doctor and the pharmacy I was worn out and came home.  Maybe tomorrow or Sunday I will feel I can handle walking through the grocery store.  I have plenty of food on hand – just not a few things that I would like to have.

I will continue to rest and drink lots of fluids.  This too shall pass….

Grateful for the beautiful day today, grateful this virus is going away, and grateful I can rest as needed.
