Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Even after having Sleepy
Time Tea before getting to bed late last night it was only a short while
before I had to get up. The reason wasn’t that I wasn’t tired but it felt like I
was drowning. A great way to help break a cold or congestion is consuming hot
drinks such as coffee, tea, hot chocolate or an over-the-counter drink designed
to give you relief. Couple that with a Tylenol
Cold and Flu tablet and something had to give. I spent nearly a half hour
cleaning myself and my CPAP mask up
and still when I tried to return to bed it started all over again. I finished
my last five hours of the night in a semi-state of sleep in the reclining
loveseat in the living room.

Looking out the window when we got up we saw that the weather
guessers forecast for Lake Effect
Flurries was accurate and it is supposed to be a continual occurrence
throughout the remainder of this week. With nothing really planned for most of
this week we made rough plans before spending the morning at the computers. We
are really getting into having soup as at least one of our daily meals lately.
Later this afternoon we slowly worked together because that’s the only speed we
seem able to accomplish since getting this bug. In the past we had the same supplies
for the trailer as we did for our apartment. With us going Fulltime that will no longer be the case and we made a huge dent in
reorganizing that this afternoon.

In some of the recent comments people have asked for recipes
which I will then let you know once I add them to our recipe page after I find
a photo to go with it. Other comments suggest that we are taking quite some
time to go Fulltime. We didn’t make
our decision until the middle of October after having winterized our trailer.
We chose to stay put this winter so we could take our time and make certain
that we had crossed all the t’s and
dotted all the i’s. We started
slowly working on this before and throughout the Christmas Holidays and lots of visits. What we didn’t
count on was getting beat up by this Cold/Flu
virus that we both came down with and that seems to be taking forever to
get rid of. We won’t be starting our Fulltiming
until near the end of April but we’ll be working on it until then. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

you hear the one about the optician?

Thought I would share this with you. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Mucinex The "key" to making this work well is to drink lots of water with it and through out the day. These really do break up the icky stuff and help you get rid of it. Another tip (from a hos lab worker) Use 1/9 bleach/water and clean all handles and knobs of everything in home, including your car/truck door handles, wheel, knobs... then take 1/9 peroxide/water mix and mist spray on all surfaces. The bleach cleans, the peroxide mix kills the germs and sanitizes. Your both holding on to your illness far too long and most likely re-infecting each other because those bugs live a long time on surfaces. Commode handles and sink facets, light switches and door knobs are the greatest germ collectors. Give this a try, you'll be glad you did. Then make a habit to use these solutions while full timing to keep yourselves well. Been doing this for four years and so far, so good. Thanks for a nice blog.
ReplyDeleteI changed it up with this year's cold. I took Alka Seltzer severe cold medicine. It really worked great. Might be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better very soon.
Craig and I have both been fighting a cold for weeks too. It's not too bad in the daytime, but the cough and congestion at night really gets us down. Hopefully we will all be well and raring to go soon. Sunshine awaits!
ReplyDeleteSometimes getting over a cold seems forever. Hopefully, you'll be back to your old selves soon.
