There have been no walks, no photos, nothing cooked, nothing created. I've lain around, snoozing, content under a blanket on the couch with a hot rice bag to keep me cozy. As I told a friend, this is what happens when one spends time with cute little petri dishes - aka grandchildren. The cold has traveled through the family, but I am special - no one else got an infection. Sigh.
I've managed a couple of books, very light ones, and a few blogs. I hope to get around to more of those this week. My wonderful husband brought me tea with honey, took care of meals (with a little direction), and made me laugh when I could.
I'm looking forward to this new week with renewed energy, although I'll be taking it slowly. We have an event to attend on Wednesday evening and I want to be in good form for that.
Dearest Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteThat artist is a TRUE artist for being able to show us things that real looking.
Sorry you got an inner ear infection.
Hoping the antibiotics will do their work and you feel soon better.
Hugs,
Mariette
I'm sorry your cold turned into something worse. Fortunately antibiotics should soon make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI like Lucy Grossmith's art and have a Pinterest board with many of my favourites. GM
Lorrie, I'm so sorry you've had an infection. Thankful you can stay home and be cozy and it's getting better. We've been snowed in this weekend and today, my ear started bugging me and I know it will be an infection. Drops tonight and hopefully it will be better so I can tackle all the tasks on my list this week! Take good care and get better soon. X Chy
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about grandchildren lol! Hope the infection clears quickly and you feel back to full strength soon. I too love the art on Instagram one of my favourites to follow is rathergoodart. B x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a case of tinnitus to go with the cold. Take magnesium supplement every day, plus vitamins C, D, Zinc, Lysine, raw chopped garlic, elderberry extract, oregano oil capsules for the cold. Virus and bacteria do not like these, they are also effective as additional treatments for Covid.
ReplyDeleteDear Lorrie - really sorry to learn that you have been feeling so poorly and do hope that the antibiotic help you recover soon.
ReplyDeleteI too like Lucy's work and sometimes purchase her cards - I think that she lives in Suffolk.
That painting is delightful! When I stare at the fox, I see a smile on its face, it certainly put a smile on my face! Sending wishes your way that you feel better soon with many smiles returning to your face as you get back to doing what brings you joy!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon. Ear infections are miserable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nasty follow up to your cold. I hope the antibiotics are working and you are beginning to feel well again. Winter brings so many of these debilitating 'bugs'. Lucy Grossmith is a favourite here too, her nature studies are so real and so detailed.
ReplyDeleteThe artwork is lovely. I'll have to look her up on IG.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you have been sick. Sending my good thoughts that this week will find you feeling much better and in good shape for your Wednesday event. Take care, Lorrie.
That painting by Luci Grossman is exquisite. Lorrie, I'm sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Glad to hear that you are finally in recovery stage. Enjoy your snuggly time under the covers and with good books and a helpful inhouse "Nurse" for making tea and meals. Here's to your good health in the coming week.
ReplyDeleteOh those ear infections are brutal. Hope you are feeling even better by now. Enjoy your rest.
ReplyDeleteLovely fox, I too like to follow several artists on line. We have foxes visit our garden and I'm quite fond of them. Sorry to hear that your cold worsened, I do hope that you will feel well again soon:)
ReplyDeleteLorrie, I hope you are on the mend. So glad you, and your hubby, are taking good care of you. The painting is so lovely. I'm going to look for her account on Insta.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing Lucy Grossmith with us! I had to go and follow her on Instagram. The painting you shared is amazing in its detail!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you have been sick. My hubby and I both had a few days of it back in early October, but thankfully we are feeling fine now. Your ear infection sounds truly awful. Hope you will feel better soon!
Lorrie, I sincerely hope you will feel better very soon and will regain all your energy. That ear infection sounds nasty. Hopefully the antibiotics help and you will be up and running again soon. All the best - Carola
ReplyDeleteOh, that is too bad, to end up in bed -- but it's good you have someone dear to attend to you, and a cozy house to rest in. Wednesday seems a little soon to be going out, antibiotics or not... please don't overdo it!

I hope your ear infection improves, very nasty to have, staying in the warm is the best thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel, I am not well at the moment and my husband did the shopping this weekend. I could not do anything after a problem with my COVID vaccine. I am worried about the heart problems following the vaccine.
ReplyDeleteNot doing much at the moment.
It is Wednesday afternoon and I hope you are feeling well enough for your event this evening. Oh how I love that fox artwork. And yes, grandchildren are like petri dishes with germs. Have a lovely rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of get well and feel better soon wishes to you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Here's to feeling better with renewed energy and getting back out in nature!

Dear Lorri, I send you many good wishes for a quick recovery. I'm sorry you're sick. The strenght is to be found in serenity.
ReplyDeleteDon't overdo it, sometimes the body takes a little longer to heal.
Relax and drink tea.
A hug comes to you. Hoping that you're feeling much better.
The picture with the fox is beautiful. I love it.
I'm sorry to hear about the ear infection. Thank goodness for modern medicine!
ReplyDeleteI was bummed about missing Taylor's Toronto shows. But I heard that some Swifties got covid after their shows. They had an amazing time, so it was worth it for them.
I am so sorry that you were the “special” one that ended up being hit the hardest from the darling grandchildren. How nice that Tim cared for you with such kindness. Hope you’re feeling better now.
