Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
I Hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying their holidays.
We are all hanging in there on our ends. Today is day 4 for me, Chris and dad with Covid (turns out his negative was false) and mom is day 5. All symptoms seem to be mild, stuffy nose, mild (and very infrequent) cough. Fever appears to have broken, and the scratchiness of the throat has left. So has the fogginess in my head.
I have been keeping myself hydrated, drinking a lot of water, cranberry juice, and orange juice. I have beein taking Zicam, which is supposed to reduce the duration of colds. I also have some cough meds, flu meds, and immunity boosters.
I also have an oximeter to measure the amount of oxygen in my blood, and my levels are as they should be.
Spending a quiet Christmas at home, eating chicken soup, and watching Hallmark Christmas movies.

Glad you and your family seem to be on the upswing! What do you take as immunity boosters?

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
We have officially made it through Christmas, and now we start the march to New Year's, and saying good bye to this God-awful year we're in now.
In spite of spending Christmas in my apartment, before I tested positive for Covid, I did manage to get everything done that I wanted. My cards got sent, gifts were given, cookies were baked, and I even managed to go out for a night drive and see all the Christmas lights that I could.
I even watched Hallmark Christmas movies pretty much every day while working.
I have fallen out of the habit of making New Year's resolutions, as I feel they can sometimes set one up for failure. However, I do believe a new year is a good time to hit the mental 'reset' button and move into the new year with a new frame of mind.
