Feeling the 'sick' come on :(

[tigger19687]

Know when you get that little tickle in the throat on the 1st day and you wonder if this is going anywhere?

Yesterday I had that. By the end of the day I had to give that tiny 1/2 cough for no reason other then I felt that tickle.

By bedtime I KNEW it was coming .... This morning I KNOW it is here and it will be bad. Already achy and know it will be bad.
I have not been sick in Years. Maybe a little cough but not Sick Sick.

I was suppose to do a bunch of small errands today and make a few Batches of soap.

I think I will skip the soap and just get the few errands done while I can and pick up some extra soup and drinks.

Hate days like this, and it is SO nice outside !!

Sorry Tigger, hope you can ward it off. I was sick for 7 days with it.

Did you do anything that helped?

This is the 1st time I have ever had the flu. And that is even after working in the ER for years ! haha

must be those darn kids I have

Just lots of liquids. I like hot broth and tea. Hope you feel better soon. Who tends to the chickens when you're ill? That is my fear, no one will tend to my chickens. I will have to drag my sick butt out there and do it myself.

I was out there the day before. Water was just filled, food is good. and I grabbed the one egg yesterday .
I open and close the door from the kitchen window and the run is always secure.
So that is good.
I also have to drive DD to school and back every day so I tossed out seeds for them to play in and scratch through the hay. Gonna rain today so they will be in the playhouse I think for most of the day.

Now the old blind/deaf indoor kitty is killing me. If she can't see anyone she just meows till someone comes.

last night I bounded down soup, broth, tea, water gatorade. Just in case.
Today it headache and more fever/body aches. Just blah blah blah.. and it is rainy out so I may just go sleep most of the day.

Awe. Poor kitty. How do you open the door from the kitchen window?

In the Right corner of the roof line, you can see a white rope. It goes over to my kitchen window and I pull the coop door open from there. I am Lazy.
This is actually an older pic as the roap is now Orange in case I drop it in the snow

Quick! 2000mg ascorbate powder in juice. I swear by it taken as soon after that 1st tickle as possible.
Not ascorbic acid. Use only ascorbates as in Emergen- C
