Not going to work.....

Monday morning from this side of the planet. 
. It's past 7:15 AM and I am tucked in bed again. I got up to cook and pack for my daughter and then back to bed.. Feeling under weather since Saturday, itchy throat and clogged nose. No fever or coughing but yes, no energy there. The throat hurts the most and I have been sipping warm water, steam inhalation and few home remedies since Saturday. Weekend was all lazy with no energy to do things around. Just could manage with bare minimum. Husband took care of everything. And on the top, my monthly visitor came 
. Menopause times can be crazy.
I choose to stay home. I don't have any work at workplace till Tuesday ( tomorrow). I can catch up some rest at home and hope that I feel better. Every household has people who are sick, blame this on the changing weather.
Well, sleeping in guest room from Saturday. I don't want my husband and daughter to catch it. So, staying confined.
New week has started. I hope that we all have a good one. What is everyone up to in this new week?
Take care. Stay happy and healthy.

Thank you for your concern. I have been sleeping almost the whole day. It's annoying, the throat pain shows no improvement. I might have to visit a doctor tomorrow.
Hope that your day goes well

Thank you Rebecca for your concern. The progress is slow but it's there. I hope that it goes away soon. I am feeling so low on energy and that can be frustrating.

@arunima25 Difficulty in swallowing could be due to the glands swelling I think you should show it to your doctor.
Could be Tonsilitis

Hope so. It is progressing but at a snail pace. I am finding tough to swallow. Headache is there with all the congestion. It's irritating. I don't want to start with antibiotics.

Sounds like you have had some rough few days. I am really sorry to read you have been feeling under the weather. It is great that your husband has been so supportive (he has been all times been very supportive) and took care of things while you rested. It is definitely hard to do things when your energy level is low and then on top of it have monthly visitor arrive. Menopause can throw some curveball! I think staying in guest room to keep everyone safe is a good option. Hope the extra rest day will help you get better. Weather can really affect our health- hopefully the worst is over. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a better week ahead!

Thank you for the concern. Things are little better today but not as much as I hoped for. I just hope and wish that it's gone fast. Congestion and low energy is no fun to deal with. I don't want everyone to catch it. So, staying away as much as I can is one precaution. Tomorrow is a holiday and I have nothing at work on Thursday. Good that two more days of rest I can afford. But lying the whole day is not fun.
Hope that you have a good week and weekend ahead

Thank you.. I don't want others in the family to fall sick. That would add up to the trouble. So, trying to stay away as much as possible. They have busy schedule and important stuffs lined up. They can't afford to take leave and rest in such times.

@arunima25 I hope you fully recover soon. I'm sure you family appreciates your consideration. In the meantime, drink lots of water and have lots of warm soup. I hope your family takes care of you regardless. Stay strong.

It's annoying. I am feeling so low in energy, have been dozing off the whole day. If it doesn't improve, I will go to doctor tomorrow.

Thank you for your concern. Home remedies and steam inhalation is working but the progress is very slow. It's annoying as I have very little energy and getting tired easily. I don't want to take antibiotics or any medicine. The side effects linger on.

Thank you Judy for your concern. It's getting better but very slowly. It will stay for few more days. I wish that it goes soon.
