Still hacking away with this cold I've had since the week after Christmas. Sneezing and coughing fits all day and night, so sleeping worse than before. Not much energy to even hang on the computer - I just come out here first thing in the morning to do my daily deeds and any moderating that needs to be done, do my exercise, breakfast, then back to bed for a while. Doc says since there's no fever or fluid in the lungs it's only a cold, not the flu or pneumonia, that it'll run its course in due time. I'm just so sick of it already! It's bad enough not having energy to do housework and running errands, but I'm not allowed to visit the aunt in the nursing home, either, for fear of infecting everyone there. It's a good thing she has no memory left so she doesn't realize if anyone's been there or not. The nurses know we've all been sick (Yeah, it's been passed around between the three of us) but even if they tell her we called she wouldn't remember. Eating, and therefore weight, has been horrible. The first week or so I had no appetite or energy to cook and lived on toast while the boys ate whatever crap they made or ordered in and I gained 3 pounds. When I felt healthy enough to cook again the boys were sick and I made lots of easy to cook fattening comfort food and gained a few more pounds. As this thing drags on I feel less and less like cooking so I've been opening a lot of cans, even when making healthy things like homemade soup, but because of the salt continue to gain, this time from water retention. The past few days have been a bit better, food-wise, and I started February only 4 pounds higher than this time last month. Ed's waiting for breakfast.
