We've had "it"


Last week was a rough one for all of us at my house.  We had "it" in the form of coughing, fever, chills, sore throats and headaches.  I'm still not at 100 percent, but I'm improving.  Hubby went back to work today. 

You know when you are sick one of the things that you do is sleep or nap a lot.  Some of us have some goofy dreams when we are asleep.  Just yesterday, I was napping in the recliner and I remember very well the last dream.  Do you remember your dreams?  Well, anyway, the dream had me at home and the phone was ringing.  It was my doctor calling me to tell me that I only had two months to live unless we got rid of the carpeting and drapes.  LOL!!  Now, I've been procrastinating over getting new window treatments forever for quite some time now, but I didn't know they were making me that sick!  I told my hubby about the silly dream and he had a good laugh over it, too.  I realized then that was the first big laugh we'd had since we had gotten sick.  You know you are on the mend when you can laugh again.  I hope you've been staying well at your house!  
 
Until next time...

  3. I am so sorry you are part of the crummy flu statistics. Bummer. Sure hope you are all much better soon.
    Actually the dream made sense. I can see the tie in. You felt terminal and the drapes were on your mind.

  5. It's a bad bug Cheryl and I hope you are both over it. My husband had it right after Christmas then I got it. I've had a chest cold for 2 weeks now and I'm still coughing. Take care. Blessings.

  12. Glad you are getting better.

    Mmmmmmmmm, I think you ought to make sure you get those new drapes, as soon as you feel like trudging out and shopping.

    Mmmmmm.... Yes.

    Seems those new curtains are very, very important, to the *inside* of you. :-)

  13. Sorry to hear you have been ill and hoping you are feeling 100% soon. I had to laugh at your dream. Laughing is good.

  14. So far so good, though all around us have been ill. Both my daughter and daughter-in-law have had it and one grand. The other grand and my son are remaining vertical. So much for the flu shots as all those afflicted had had one. Guess it missed whatever this thing was.

    i am so happy you are feeling better and laughing again!!

  20. Oh my goodness!! I am SO glad you are better!!! I have many dreams and remember them. When we are sick we have such odd dreams, some can be very disturbing. The flu is am epidemic here, it is really bad. Drapes and carpet aren't good if you have allergies, but I won't give them up and take three allergy medicines.

  21. Hi Cheryl!

    So glad you are on the mend!

    Goofy dreams run in my family! I wish I would have a dream that tells me to get rid of my couch.... hehehe!

    I need new window treatment too - so expensive though. Guess I'll have to keep dreaming about it!

    Hugs,
    Barb

  27. I am so happy that you and your hubby are feeling better. I had this during Christmas break. I still have a strange cough. No one can resist a smile with a picture of Maxine. I loved your dream. I don't remember my dreams very much; but early this morning I had a dream that I was in Labor with a baby. I am exhausted!
    Blessings and hugs!
