For Today, Update on cold.

Outside my window... dark, it is nighttime.

I am thinking... I have not had a sore throat in a long time. Not even when I had Covid last year.

But something is going around and a lot are getting sore throats. My 2 friends are sick too. We leave on May 2 for our mini vacation in Texas. Please pray we get well before we go.

I am thankful for... cold medicines, oil diffuser, tissue and Mentholatum which I got when I was in Texas last July. I thought my sinuses were acting up and it was Covid. I took a Covid test and it was negative.

I am remembering...My parents and grandparents rubbing Mentholatum on my chest and feet when I was a child. I put it under my nose and on my forehead. 

On my mind...Getting well!

I am pondering these words...Listen to your body.

From the learning rooms.... Women of the Bible I am preparing for my May Bible journaling group. We meet on the 9th the day after we come back from Texas. I pray that the Lord guide me and at first, I was thinking of a floral theme. For April we talked about the Shepherd. We learned that Jehovah Rah is the Lord is my Shepherd. I knew I was led to go over different names of God. Then I remembered learning about Hagar and the Lord who came to hear. El Roi, the God that hears me. Women of the Bible is where He has led me. Women we will go over in May are Hagar, Rahab, The Bleeding Woman.

From the kitchen... Food my daughter brought over and the chicken soup my husband bought me at our favorite Mexican food place. I can't taste very well with my congested nose. but at least I have an appetite! 

I am wearing...Short white pajamas with corn blue flowers.

I am creating...a kit for my next Bible journaling day.

I am going...to get as much rest as I can.

I am reading...A Line of Grace by Francine Rivers.

I am hoping...To be well by the end of the week or sooner. My granddaughter will be performing at her music group called Rockstars. They teach different instruments and voice. Devon is her teacher and one of the worship leaders at our church.

I am hearing...American Idol on TV. So many kids that are so talented!

Around the house...Quiet, since it is nighttime.

One of my favorite things...Learning things more from the Bible. I use my study bibles and the Bible Hub App.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Rest, get lots of fluids and maybe call the doctor. 

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...My granddaughter on the left and Devon on the right.

This is the first time I have seen my Audrina wearing ripped jeans. Most of our worship team in under 20 and Audrina is the youngest at 12. My husband took this picture at church. I stayed home.

I was going to take Christmas pictures to post, but I will have to do it later. I have been sick since last Tuesday evening. I went to bed feeling tired and was really cold. Wednesday I had a 101 fever.  I took Tylenol and rested. Thursday morning I called Kaiser and they directed me to the Covid department. The Dr. wanted to know what I did for Thanksgiving. She had me go take a Covid test. They have drive up testing at the Kaiser which is about 8 minutes away. They swabbed the nose and throat, doing the more extensive test. I didn't have much of an appetite but drinking lots of fluids.  My neighbor brought apple juice. Hubby and I both wearing mask and staying in different rooms I got my results Saturday morning, negative. 

I started feeling better and my appetite was back. My daughter brought us dinner. Sunday I felt good enough to take a shower, temp below 100. Son brought lunch. We ate outside and I sat by myself on a different table. Mask on the rest of the time. They left after lunch. I had crafts I was going to do with them, but I just had them take it home, I did quite a bit before they came and it tired me out. I could feel my nasal passages getting stuffier.  I have spent the rest of the day in bed watching Hallmark movies. Fever is back to 101. No other signs associated with Covid. I have had sinus infections before and this is what if feels like. Prayers would be appreciated. Thanks 

We are all enjoying the Disney Mandalorian. I found this on Facebook and showed it to the grands. I will have to wear a mask around them from now on. Lots of cooties out there beside Covid.
