I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel :-)

I feel that I’m slowly getting back to life again. The fever seems to be gone even though I sometimes feel like I’m boiling when I move around. The coughing however came back last night with a full vengeance. So I’ve talked to my work place and will stay at home tomorrow as well.

Next week will be a short one again, first of all we’re free on Friday when it is Midsummer, a holiday almost as big as christmas but for totally opposite reasons. Even though the church tried to make it all about John the Baptist midsummer here is more or less rooted in paganism, I’ve never heard anyone celebrate John to be honest. To be honest very few celebrates christmas because of Jesus now days either, it’s more about the Yule gnome (or as in big parts of the western world Santa Claus) and ways to spend loads of money on things we can’t afford 🙂 🙂 🙂

I’ll also have a day off because I’ll go to the doctor for my hip check. It is now almost exactly twenty years since I got my first hip implant! (and I also think it is almost exactly ten years since I got the second one too). Even though there are strict restrictions of what I mustn’t do with these implants (I think it still is considered an experimental practice, I was too young to get hip prostheses, I would have worn them out too fast because being young would be being too active for them to hold for more than ten years, after that I would only be able to get new ones one more time. They cut off a piece of the bone each time they put them in) I’m still so glad I got them because otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to walk at all.

After I had been to the hospital I went to the store and bought a new garden hose, food for the entire weekend and lots of ice cream. They didn’t have the ice cream I wanted but I decided to try one called Banana Split. I do like a real banana split so I do hope it tastes something like that anyway 🙂 🙂 I also picked up a battery for one of my Minolta camera since I was out driving anyway. I was away for perhaps two hours and was totally exhausted when I came back home 🙂 🙂 🙂

I think it is time to try that ice cream now. I was thinking of having a cup of coffee with it but I’ll skip that since I Feel I’m not tired enough for coffee and it therefore most likely would keep me awake the entire night 🙂

DSC_0002 (7) — I took some photos in my garden when the sun shone.

I’m slightly worse today than yesterday so I have mostly been sleeping to be honest. The kitchen door has been open though so the dogs have been able to go outside and play almost all day.

I had to close the door twice because of heavy showers passing by and the lightning app warned about thunder as well. I noticed that when I woke up and it already had passed 🙂 🙂

I doubt that this will go away any time soon since those at work who have had it still have a hoarse voice many days after the fever is gone. I will eat my honey and I’ll drink tea with ginger in it and hope for the best 🙂

Have a great day!

It’s always fun to get a summer cold.

I sound like I have been drinking whiskey and smoking twenty four seven for the last thirty years 🙂 My throat hurts and it feels like fever comes and goes as it pleases. I did feel a bit off yesterday but thought it was just being Friday and I’m getting up at 3:30 am in the morning.

So I haven’t done an awful lot today but I have actually vacuumed all floors. The dogs do drag in a lot of mud and sand but I have contributed to it a lot as well since I didn’t remove my shoes after working in the potato and vegetable patches.

I’m going to x-ray one of my hips next week so if I’m not better on Monday I won’t go to work. I really don’t want to risk being stopped just because I have a cold and I do need to do this next week because I’ll go to the doctor for the hip check up the week after and then those x-rays are needed.

I do have a lot of honey so I think that at least my throat will feel ok pretty soon. I’ll also drink a lot of rose-hip soup, I always do that when I have a cold 🙂 Too bad that I don’t have any ice cream or ingredients to make som myself but I guess one can’t have it all. It’s time to make that soup 🙂

DSC_0019 (5) — Edible but not yummy. Very early this year.

Have a great day!

A cold and allergy.

I now have the joy of having a cold at the same time some pollen gives me an allergy. The nose is running, my throat is hurting and in between sneezes I cough a lot. It’s really fun

I fell asleep in the recliner as soon as I came home yesterday, woke up for a short while and went to bed and fell asleep. I have to say though that having a generous beekeeper as a neighbor has given me enough honey to keep the worst away.

Every time my throat hurts too much or I’m about to start coughing I take half a teaspoon of honey and most of the problems go away for a couple of hours, so I can actually sleep rather well. I also drink a lot of tea with ginger but besides it tasting really nice I’m not sure if it is helping me or not 🙂 🙂 So if I don’t write anything the coming days You now know that it’s just a common cold and allergies that drain me from all energy I have in my body 🙂
