Cranberry sauce and a cold

 I have the first cold in years, coughing and congested. Not up to much. No fever, few aches, not panicking yet.  I have so little contact with people , masking when out,  it's amazing how I managed it.

I did get to the library yesterday to change my jigsaw puzzle, vital need 


And I got in a supply of tissues, seems like a good idea. On the way to the store, my car alerted me that my car fob battery is low, so I went home and added in my backup fob and the alert went away. It's a tricky job changing the battery without exploding bits of fob all over the floor, so it needs to wait for now. Also till I get a new battery.

Knitted a bit, reviewed my Arabic alphabet, made cranberry sauce, now in the fridge



And today visited with my plants, looking cheerful, good as medicine.


And I'm having a breakfast cranberry muffin baked yesterday, I seem to have done a lot for someone who's moaning about being sick.

Today's about resting and seeing if Sunday's Christmas doings should be postponed. Hoping not, but Handsome Son knows I'm not quite well, so he'll  see what he wants to do.

Happy day, everyone, take care, rest, drink fluids, or not if you're feeling fine. Enjoy what you can.

    1. I think that puzzle has a lot of clues to help work it.

  5. Well, yuck. There are so many germs floating around out there, it was just a matter of time. I trust your freezer is well-stocked with soups. A jigsaw puzzle and a bunch of good books - no excuse to not rest up (except your inborn constitution!).

    1. So long since I had a cold, I had to remember how to treat it.

  7. Oh no! I hope your Christmas plans don't get derailed. I tend to make fever the deciding factor in such things -- if I have a fever I stay home.

    1. Yes, fever or the lack of it is why I don't think it's flu or covid. The coughing is subsiding now so I'm hopeful.

  8. Well, this is not merry news. I hope that whatever managed to slip into your system is merely devious and not evil. Please take care of yourself! Rest. Hydrate. You know the drill.

  9. I think we are more susceptible to getting sick this time of year because we are so busy. Rest up hopefully you’ll be ok for the festivities

  14. I didn't read blogs for a couple of days, I didn't know you were ill. I see you still are. I hope this is short-lived.
