Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
Yeah, feel like I could benefit from ejecting some flubber right about now. The night before when I couldn't make it past 9:30 I think I had a low grade fever so at least getting some rest helped with that. It's just the coughing and runny nose crap from here on out - hopefully done by Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm going through this now myself. I drank lots of hot liquids, and I take 2000mg (2 packets) of the Emergen-C every day during fall and winter and I'm thinking it's cutting my time shorter because after about 3 days I was feeling vastly better. Just have the cough hanging on a bit but that's getting better too. I also do a steam bath for my face over a bowl with a towel over my head. That always makes my chest feel less constricted. I hope the Mr. feels better very soon!!!
ReplyDeleteLong, hot shower with the bathroom doors closed so that I'm in the steam as long as possible, drink lots of water to help thin the mucous, and I like to drink orange juice (my version of emergen-c). On top of that I'll sometimes throw whatever meds we have on-hand at it - NyQuil, DayQuil, decongestant, etc.
ReplyDeleteSleep is my number one cure. So, I've been converted a Nyquil person at night to help me sleep and get as much rest as possible, but I don't like taking anything through the day.
ReplyDeleteMy other technique is to use my NettiPot twice a day to keep the sinuses clear. My sinuses always seem to be my downfall. And Jessica's technique of long, hot showers also help to start the day off right.
