I had a restful and relaxing weekend. Dale had some commitments so I had plenty of free time for hanging around, watching tv, and knitting. Yesterday we did a bit of Christmas shopping and decorating at home and then last night we went to Vespers at Wheaton College, my alma mater.
But all day yesterday I felt kind of off. Punky, if you are familiar with that term. Not quite sick but not quite right either. I went to bed last night hoping to feel better this morning but that’s not the case. I now have a legitimate cold. Stuffy nose, sore throat, headache, body ache – you know the drill. Ugh.
Today will be spent drinking tea and napping. Maybe there will be some knitting but right now all I want to do is sleep.

Your agenda is correct: lots of fluids, lots of rest. Hope the cold is mild!
Karen Said,
Feel better soon Carole!
Rebecca in CO Said,
Sleep well…at least you are smart enough to get to bed, something I never do.
Robin in VA Said,
ooooooo, I had that last week. Hope you feel better soon!

Sleep. Too cold to do anything else anyway. Hope you feel better!
Mary K. in Rockport Said,
Definitely a good day to stay in and drink hot chocolate.
Manise Said,
Feel better soon! Rest, fluids, knitting and spinning will help.

Then sleep is exactly what you should do. Hope you feel better. And maybe you can sneak some knitting in there too!
LittleWit Said,
I hope you feel better soon!
Lisa Said,
Stay inside – warm and cozy! Today is definitely a better day to stay inside if you can – it’s awful out there. Feel better soon.
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,
Hope you feel better- there’s a lot of ick going around.I saw someone wilt right before my eyes (mid knitting row) yesterday!
Ina Said,
Feel better! I’m feeling a bit punky today myself.

Tea and rest sound just right – hope you feel better soon!

Feel better!
Re: Twilight — I found it a page turner but that’s about it — got tiresome after awhile, amber eyes and all! I think I’ll put it on the banned books list for M.
Nora Said,
Take care of yourself!
margene Said,
Feel better soon! I think I’m getting the same thing!
Carol Said,
Feel better soon!!

Sending warm thoughts and hugs!
Jessica Said,
‘Tis the season for this sort of thing. I hope you feel better fast!
elizabeth Said,
I’m sorry! Hope you feel better – this is the wrong time of year to be sick!
Lucia Said,
Crud! Feel better soon. I recommend turkey soup, ginger tea and Cold-eez. On me at least Cold-eez often works even if I’m a couple of days into it.
Hillary Said,
Feel better. Drink lots of tea and take care of yourself.
kmkat Said,
Feel better soon!
Laurie Said,
This one lasts a bit. Most people cough. Dry up the nose. Feel better soon.
Carrie Said,
Feel better! Yesterday was one of those days – we all felt it over here too, though happily none of us has succumbed to an actual illness. (I’m working on the theory that it was a chocolate hangover.)
Risa Said,
Oh no! Take care of yourself and feel better soon!
Danielle Said,
Hope you feel better soon! Did I know that you went to Wheaton? I was just there a couple of weeks ago.
Sara Said,
Oh, hope you feel better real soon…enjoy the napping it’s not often we get to do that…
Vespers sounded like it was a wonderful evening! I think that would have been something I would have enjoyed.
Is Wheaton far from your town…(my geography skills are the pits)
Julie Said,
Feel better soon, Carole!
Beth Said,
I hope you feel better soon!
Jan Said,
Oh Carole, I do feel for you! Rest up and hope you are feeling better by tomorrow.
Doris Said,
Hope you feel better quickly. I started feeling punky last Sunday and it took all the way to Friday to have anything really develope. It was a sore throat and laryngitis and general fatigue. I hope that mine goes away faster than it took to get here. Tea, knitting and especially napping are just what the doctor ordered.
Cookie Said,
Oh, honey, I’m sorry you’re sick. I hope you feel better soon. Make sure Mason is taking good care of you. xo
Sarah Said,
Rest and feel well soon, Carole.
Norma Said,
Oh, crud. I have been feeling like I’m fighting something off, too. I keep hoping I will outrun it, but sooner or later I fear it will catch me.
Leslie Said,
Oh, sorry to hear you’re not well. We’ve had a bit of the “crud” here, too.
jill Said,
You went to Wheaton?? My fifteen year old has been really talking it up to us lately. She and I plan on doing some online research this weekend. You loved it, yes?
(formerly) no-blog-rachel Said,
You went to Wheaton? I went to Wheaton too! For 2 years anyway, until I transferred out. I would have been class of 81.
Sorry you’re feeling sick – I hope you heal soon!
Jean Said,
Take good care of yourself, and please do not feel the need to respond to this, just rest and recover. Raw honey in some hot water is really soothing to me. If you were close enough I would pop by with some chicken soup.
claudia Said,
Bummer, dude. Feel better soon.
Nell Said,
Wheaton is such a pretty college. We played them in sports quite often and I always liked that campus. I bet it’s lovely this time of year.
Feel better soon!
JessaLu Said,
Feel better!
Wanda Said,
I hope that you are feeling better. I am familiar with the term punky and that cracked me up.
