50°f this morning, partly cloudy and breezy all day.
I started feeling badly during the day yesterday but chalked it up to just being tired, but no; it seems I have a cold or bug of some kind. All the bad feels: stuffy head, sore throat, sneezing occasionally, and just feeling dragged out. I am drinking something called Umcka that granddaughter Sarah gave me and it seems to help. And because I was feeling sorry for myself, I made a nice big mug of hot chocolate with three
marshmallows. Comfort food, much?
But I did restock our booths at one location today anyway, because tomorrow I have a doc appointment and the van was full of stuff. We are breaking in the new van quickly, putting her right to work. Tomorrow is the bone doctor for my last, I hope, knee appointment. The knee is still not bending as it should and was pretty painful all weekend but seems better today. We shall see what they have to say. I am getting around much better, so I am seeing some light at the end of this tunnel.
In Buddy news, we put up a long run for him while my son was here. He seems to do all right with it, not exactly happy but not crying and barking the whole time he is on it. We left him on the run while we were at our booth today, and he seemed fine when we got back. Little Boy hung out with him, and we put down lots of straw so they wouldn't get muddy. We will only put Buddy on the run for a few hours at a time, and only in good weather. It is a relief, though, to not have to monitor him 24/7 to keep him home.
And I guess that's all the news that isn't, to quote Garrison Keillor. Stay well, friends.
Well, if you have a cold, then a hot chocolate and marshmallows certainly wouldn't help :-) But hey, it's holiday, so why not? Hope you and your knees feel better SOON, Sue. Happy New Year!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Umcka but I hope it works and you soon feel better. The run for Buddy seems like a solution at least for times when he has to stay home.
ReplyDeleteI hope the doctor has encouraging things to say tomorrow.
...may the new year bring you good health and happiness.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope you start feeling better soon. I sent you an email.
ReplyDeleteHope you're on the mend soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are not too yucky over New Year’s.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Buddy is getting on and that you still have power. But so sorry you will have to see the new year in with a cold. Here's to a lovely and quiet New Year's Eve and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh I do hope you are feeling okay by now. Re the knee. Ice. For the first six months, the thing can be shaky and hurty by times. After the healing period, though, both of mine are excellent and yours will be so too, I am sure.
ReplyDeleteYeah, running lines. A love, hate thing. But necessary.
Reading this on the 31st so sending wishes for a happy healthy New Year. Hope you got good report from bone doc and that you nipped the arriving cold/virus in the bud.
ReplyDeleteHoping your New Year holds great fondness from your family and friends, Susanna. You've become a great griend of mine during this past year and I hope it continues for both of us.
ReplyDeleteI think Umcka is one of the Sambucus-based remedies that a lot of people swear by? I hope it helps! And I think you should do every nice thing you can think of for yourself until you feel 100%. And then keep on doing it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Umcka before. I googled it. I used cold eze. Thank goodness, my sinus have begun to ease back. I only woke up twice last night. The extra rest is a big help.
