Happy Homemaker 2020-04-20

Good morning

Still dealing with Covid-19 restrictions (stay home!)  - small construction is opening up tomorrow as here THE moving day is July 1st and lots of houses need to be constructed.  DH did work on Thursday - me télé-travail 4days a week.

Tuesday got an appointment at doc's for earache, sore throat and coughing.. he gave me cortisone (flovent) for 6 weeks.  Can't have my medication until Thursday afternoon (we can't go to pharmacy and they need 24 hours to prepare and they are out of it).  He says it'll take 4 days before I see a difference.

Wednesday went for a lung rx... have a small bronchi(?) that's stuck so have to do respiratory exercises.

Thursday afternoon called back pharmacy for my medication as it is all getting worse... they found a pump in another pharmacy finally.

Friday we picked up mcD's for supper.

Saturday, we met dd for her bday halfway and we ate some Tim Horton's each in our car.  She also got toilet paper, wine and $$ as a gift since we can't go shopping (stores are closed). 

Another cold week and I've been coughing yet again with earache, fever and sore throat and lot of headache - even with medication still feeling like crap.  If I am no better Tuesday I will go back again... I have never been this sick so long.

Let's stay home and safe!

How I am feeling this morning
Not well.  hardly slept again with this crap I have.  then I had to call cable company... grrrrr... had to call 3 times for the same thing.  So I am not a happy camper this morning.

On my mind
I want this crap to go away so I can start feeling human again and preparing for the after-covid... as it is now I couldn't go back to work anyways with all that coughing.


On the breakfast plate
Just 1 slice of toast with cheese spread and 1 glass of water with lime slice in it.

    Good morning

    Still dealing with Covid-19 restrictions (stay home!)  we did go to see ds last week for his bday, we stayed outside at 6 foot distance, for a few minutes.  
    Thursday we had rain here but ds (5 minutes away but higher in the mountains) had a snowstorm, had to spend the evening in the truck (CAA card is in my name) while they tried to get his car out of the ditch.  DDIL had slid on the side of the road.

    Sunday we went to town to get some chicken from a drive-through and then we got to see mother-in-law from the other side of the glass door where she lives now in the elderly facility.

    Been a cold week and I've been coughing yet again with earache and sore throat.  will try to see the doc this week, this has been going on long enough.

    Let's stay home and safe!

      Good morning

      Teleworking, more restrictions (all non-essential services closed until may 4th), and that's our new reality.  Had a little meltdown last week for a few minutes ... just no reason, it's the 'all that's going on'.
      We do take walks everyday.
      We did go out for a pickup of a chicken supper on sunday night... and we ate in their parking lot!  haha
      I made 2 Easter cards.

      How I am feeling this morning
      Much better than the last week, back is much better, had some fever a few nights that is gone too.  Starting a new week with some energy

      On my mind
      Mother-in-law, just to say things are getting better, she is now 'in' the system so she is getting subventions to pay a big part for her upkeep.  Of course, the sad part nobody can go see her and she doesn't know what is going on.  they told us she is barely eating (she had quite an appetite)
      Kids - my son's birthday tomorrow... think I'll try to convince dh to go pass in front of the house and say hello and drop off a gift.

      2 raisin toasts with 1 glass of almond milk
