Sick? What do you do?

If you are sick then these flowers are for you with a Get-Well-Soon-Wish to get well soon!

It is rare when I’m down and under with something so I started self-medicating with over-the-counter cold and cough elixirs over a week ago. I rested more, ate chicken soup, kept warm, stayed home from work.  I don’t even remember the last time I stayed home from work sick.
(I actually enjoyed that immensely.)   My cough seemed centered in my throat, so I mistakenly thought my lungs weren’t involved..

Well, my cough continued to get worse so yesterday I went in to see the doctor – “viral bronchitis”, she said.  I am now on prescription medication, both an inhaler to help with the inflammation in my lungs and take-as-needed pills for the cough.  I was surprised that cough medication comes in pill form.  Anyway, the doctor said the infection was much deeper in my lungs.   I spent over $300 yesterday but it was worth every penny.
Mantra:  Treasure your health.

One great thing from this past week…taking time off work:  my creative brain had a chance to begin to open.  I’ve started some sewing projects and have other ideas organized.  My daughter and I have talked about selling at a craft fair later this year, for the holidays.   So I’ve started production.  I’m feeling excited, so it looks like sewing and making small dolls will carry me on their creative waves this year.  We will also make some wooden Santa’s and ornaments.  And who knows?

“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think.
I’ts splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”
