I hate being sick. Right now I have a head full of mucus, a persistent cough that is so hard I am tossing my cookies, and I am running a low fever. I know about how long this is going to last since Peter started this about two days ago and given his time of recovery, I have about another two days of this. Personally I am hoping for less.
So far Caroline has managed to dodge this one. She has rehearsal for the Little Mermaid and hasn’t been around much. Today she has her flute lesson and a couple of other things she needs to do. Busy kid.
Right now it is hard to put two thoughts together. I feel like my head is full of cotton stuffing. I am making lists to not forget things that I am promptly forgetting. A grocery list is the primary focus on this but walking from one room to the other causes me to lose things unless I concentrate. Got a lot on my mind I guess.
I need more coffee before continuing this day.
Winter has arrived and it is cold around here. I am waiting a day or so before taking down the holiday lights. I turned them off last night because it was 12th night and when I went outside it was very dark on our porch. I want to be able to breath without the air hurting my lungs.
It is indoor projects for me today. Laundry needs to be done. The larder is looking pretty bare and we are starting to run out of some staple products for dinner and the like. I have puppets to sew and a novel to write.
However if I can’t get my nose under control, I may declare it a rare ‘me’ day and just sit back and do next to nothing. Maybe that will cut my sick time down. Right now I am huddled under a blanket with another across my lap and cats keeping my feet warm.
Stringing thoughts together feels like I am pushing through molasses.
Cleaning doesn’t take much brain power. I can put myself on autopilot and get some stuff done.
There was a study done and redone that says we, as humans, do better with les choices over all. Too many choices and we tend to dither a lot before deciding on something. Too few and we feel constrained by our choices. There is a sweet spot where we can make quick decisions given a certain amount of choices.
Right now I could use fewer choices I think since my brain doesn’t seem to want to process anything other than sniff and cough. So I will direct my brain to the task as hand and see what I can get done.
Hope you are healthy. Being sick stinks.
I am grateful when I can get the thoughts to stream correctly.
