Happenings

 

Good morning! How are you doing today? 

Just look at that dogwood tree showing off early signs of fall. I am so ready for fall, for cooler weather, for being able to walk outside and for be cold down to my bones.  It's coming but not soon enough. Also, have you noticed how the light is angled differently and it's getting darker earlier at night? Baby steps to autumn.

I've been dealing with salivary gland issues again and ended up going to urgent care yesterday morning and received antibiotics for an infection. The medicine is not acting fast enough, ha ha. I become easily discouraged when I have difficulty eating. I'd rather have any other of my problems happen. In good news I've found an urgent care facility near me who has the nicest people working there. What a treasure, everyone seems to love their job and shows empathy to patients. 

While feeling rotten, I tend to do puzzles and read a lot. I find it hard to do much else. I am so grateful I keep track of the many symptoms I have so I know quickly when to go to the doctor for intervention.

We were supposed to have the local grand kids sleep over Saturday night but all of that was cancelled because they are battling viruses and to be honest I was not feeling healthy enough to take care of them even with my husband helping. This weekend coming up our daughter and her family are coming to visit us! We are celebrating our youngest grandson's first birthday here with extended family. I have a lot to get done by Friday, but I have my handy to do list that never fails me.

I worked some on the socks and finished another tiny sweater ornament. So far I have made five of them, I'd like to knit nine total but we will see if I have enough yarn and the motivation to do so.

What have you been up to? How do you deal with under the weather symptoms?
