On the Mend

 

I thought I was getting better but ten days in I still wanted to spend half the day in bed. I'd start the day feeling pretty good but I'd run out of gas about lunchtime. This flu has been really annoying. I tried to go to my Tai Chi class last Tuesday but I ran out of energy about 45 minutes in. Our teacher said the flu season started early and hit hard. There was a community event scheduled in my neighborhood last week but it was cancelled because so many residents were sick, so it wasn't just me. I did a bit of research online that confirmed many folks who got sick were sick two whole weeks. YUK!

I've been trying to eat and drink lots of liquids. I've also had the humidifier running, and I think that's been helping. At least I know I'm improving, and rushing won't make me get better any faster. It's been hard to read so I've been watching a lot of TV, which really kinda boring. I like to have shows that I really don't have to pay much attention to, but sometimes I find something really fun, like Blow Up Australia, a competition of balloon artists in Australia. It's been really fun watching these people make amazing things with balloons. Like ENORMOUS things.

I can work in the studio in small increments, so I haven't been going completely out of my mind. I finished my granddaughter's no-batting quilt, but I haven't really figured out what to do next.
