Flu...Fires, and Food




Good morning, friends...oh my goodness!  It's been a long while since I've been able to post.  Larry and I both have had a good case of the flu.  I took a covid test but, it was negative.  I think that was a good thing though... Started out with a headache and really lethargic...then, waking up with a sore throat...some low-grade fever and then finally, a cough.  Averaged being sick...about two weeks.  We both are now better but with a lingering cough.  But nothing like it was.  I think we're going to make it.





Praying for those poor people in California!  Texas is helping as are other states and I believe Canada is, as well... I hope those Angels can put those fires out soon!  16 are now dead...heartbreaking!!  I also pray that there's a thorough investigation into where all the funds have gone to and why!  DEI before funding the Fire Departments and Police???  I don't think so...
190,000 people displaced now, and that number is steadily growing.
God help them...









I hope this is true!





We went out to eat breakfast sometime before we became ill.  The price was really reasonable, as you can see in the next photo.










I had made a 10" hot pad...was cruising along crocheting the edges...the last row simply slipped off the loom...and I tried everything to get the loops back on to the frame!!!  So, I hooked together what I could and will worry about redoing it later...I was heartsick!  So much work!  Larry gave me a good idea though...I'll try looping a rubber band onto the ends so it can't pull off the frame.  We'll see if it works...soon...I'm not ready to pull it all out yet...sigh.






Someone explain how this is fair.  This is a photo of some women from the 1970's... then now.  I know our bodies are preparing for "the final event" but...lol
I'm still fighting it...although, since I've been ill, I put back on at least 5 pounds!  Need to get back to my walking!





And what's a post without Sloane?  Her cousin Arlis is all boy! lol

Well, I made this one a little shorter.  I've got things to catch up on and sitting in front of the computer won't get it done.
Praying you all are well and safe!  So, until next time...

I'm glad to hear that you're both starting to feel better, though that flu sounds like it was rough! It's great that the COVID test came back negative, but I can imagine how exhausting that two-week recovery must've been. Hopefully, that lingering cough clears up soon. Thanks for the update! I just shared a new post; let me know what you think. Have a lovely weekend ahead.

Sorry to read you've both been ill with the flu - people often say they've got the flu when it's just a cold, real flu is really debilitating! Keep warm and well, bless you both x

Keeping in prayer...and yes, sickness is going around. I am glad to know you are feeling better. Have a beautiful day my friend.

Donna, thank you for your prayers for the fires, it is devastating. I feel so saddened for the people down south, no homes, evacuations, and deaths. I love the angel picture. So sorry you and Larry have been sick. Those coughs can last a long time afterwards. A cute picture of Sloane and her cousin. And a delightful picture of the friends now and then. I will pass that on to my best friends, who I've known for 50 years. You did a nice job on the hot pad. Too bad that happened to you while crocheting, but it still looks very nice. And your breakfast looks delicious. Take care, and feel better.

Sure hoping that you both are feeling much better....the flu symptoms can sometimes linger for a good while after the fever stops. take care! That Sloan is certainly a cutie and her little cousin is a cutie as well. I haven't had breakfast YET this morning, I think I'll grab something off of your post. All of this food looks so yummy. Have a Blessed Sunday.
