My daughter left me something, her cold. Not funny.

Hubby did not feel well yesterday, so went to urgent care this morning. I would not go in because of my cold symptoms. Instead, I went over to the school and asked to be tested for covid, just in case this was more than a cold. I am negative. Hubby has a bladder infection. They are phoning in an antibiotic. He napped and has now gone to get his meds. I keep pushing furniture around and cleaning, but I am really tired. There was a message sent out that there are two more cases of covid at school. Of course I am not exposed, as I was not there. This cold means I need to go take a nap.

I am sorry you have a cold, and that your family is sick, but I am glad you tested negative for the virus. As my mom used to say, “this too will pass.”

Yes, the only thing to do about a cold is lots of rest, good nutrition and hydration. It will eventually go away.

@jobelbojel Yes, that is how a person is responsible.

I moved the big patio table from over by the fence into the corner of the patio, where two walls meet. Surprise, the corner is not square. Of course moving the table meant moving other things around, too. But by the end of the afternoon, everything was rearranged and it looks neat and tidy. Now, if only I can get someone to build a patio cover...

That sounds really nice. Go enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of tea out there for me.

Wow. Colds do knock one down. I'm so glad it is just a cold. Take care.

I have not had a cold in so long that this one turned out to be a doozy.

@GardenGerty Good for you for getting tested to make sure it is just a cold and not the pandemic.

That is how we are going to stop the spread, by all of us being conscientious.

@GardenGerty I believe how we should stop the spread by respecting those that do care and do not want to get sick. Social distancing is very important and so many do not do it and do not respect someone that does do it.
