A CHRISTENING

 

ABOVE:  I tried one of my  new cups last night.  It was so lovely... such a beautiful cup.  Just the right size (Biggish), feels nice in ya hands.  I will certainly enjoy using them.

Last night was another night from hell.  I'm dead on my feet.  I have a very low tolerance to coughing, before it causes me to throw up, which is a right pain in the butt.  I can't say I'm feeling any better today. My throat was so bad overnight I literally got no sleep at all. Popping panadol all night didn't help either.

So it will be a sit on me bum sorta day.

ABOVE:  This is the Village Green in Te Kowhai.  Hmmm... porta loos.  Nice... not.

I hope they are clean at least.  There's 50 stalls booked in for Saturday, plus about 6 food stalls.  I wonder if 2 loos is gunna be enough?  Stew thinks they will bring in some more for the day.  I suppose time will tell.

Right, I suppose I will roll over and just BE.

Read the news, some YouTube, Instagram, bla bla bla.

No point making too many plans.  Freakin' Covid. 😖😕😒

I just had a phone call from our medical clinic. They are having delivered to me the Covid Anti Viral medication, along with a whole raft of other meds to combat all my symptoms.  For FREE! WOW. 

Seems being a diabetic and OLD qualifies me for all that.

Nice. 

Meanwhile.. I'm a still in bed. So comfy and warm with my girls curled up beside me.

ABOVE: Rather proud of myself. I'm still in bed! And its 11.03 am. 

I'm thinking of getting up soon and making some lunch.

Kinda hungry. Its a long time since lunchtime yesterday.

I only had a hot drink last night, cos my throat was so sore.

Hopefully I can tolerate something soon.

My medications arrived at the door around 1.30 pm.  I leapt out of bed and got to the door and shit!  Nearly passed out right there and then.

Felt soooooo sick!  Dizzy.  Ears ringing. Broke out in a sweat.  Was not fun at all.

So I went back to bed after taking my first lot of Anti Virals.

And I have only just got up properly, and got dressed!  And it's like, 3.45 in the afternoon!

Wow, not stayed in me nightie for that long in YEARS.

But, moving on.

I am certainly feeling a bit better after dozing on and off all day, and literally doing nothing.

Hopefully by tomorrow the improve continues.

COLLEEN:  So weird, I didn't even think of that being the cause of my 'near faint' episode.  Of course it as a low blood sugar event.  I'd not eaten a thing in over 26 hours!  And I was dehydrated too.

I've done my best to eat and drink more this afternoon evening, and am feeling much better.

All my covid symptoms have eased a bit too, so I'm very hopeful for a better night's sleep.  ANY sleep would be good!

Stew gave me a FruJu iceblock from out of our freezer, that was really nice on my throat.  A bit too sweet, but oh well.  Ya can't have everything bang on.

I'm going to sign off now, it's been a very long, slow, lazy day.  It felt weird.
