As a result, we haven't accomplished much this week. Mostly, we've done exactly what you're supposed to do when you get a cold: get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.
What a change it is to do exactly what doctors recommend! From our resting positions, we've both commented that our behavior is so different than it was in our working days. Back then, we would have loaded up on drugs and powered through, exposing our co-workers and clients in the process. We'd drag our ailing bodies home at the end of the day and put our hacking and sniffling selves in bed in a feeble effort to get some rest.
And, we wondered why our colds lasted weeks!
We like this approach much better. It's not the most exciting way to spend a few days. But, as long as we have plenty of soup, juice and tissues, we can't really complain.
Ahhhhh-chooooo!

I've been taking one 1000mg Vitamin C tablet daily for 7 or 8 yrs and haven't had a cold since. I take it 365 days a year. Costco has them in a huge bottle, so I don't have to replace it very often. One advantage is that I don't have to worry when I'm around someone with a cold - one of my kids or grandkids, for example.
I hope you feel better soon. You are right though about the difference in being sick when you are obligated to employment!
So much better to be retired when you are under the weather! Recover soon!
bless you!..hope you are both on the mend soon!!
I usually get at least one cold each winter. Most often it is after a plane trip or visit with kids.
So far I've ducked it!
Take care and get well soon.
now that the weekend is done, we hope you are both on the mend and back to your usual fun stuff!..hope you are enjoying your stay at Buckhorn!!
