It’s Cold Outside. And Inside, Too.

December 8, 2008 By Carole

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.

  8. Karen says

    Sleep well…at least you are smart enough to get to bed, something I never do.

  10. Robin in VA says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:40 am

    ooooooo, I had that last week. Hope you feel better soon!

  11. Jean says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:41 am

    Sleep. Too cold to do anything else anyway. Hope you feel better!

  12. Mary K. in Rockport says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Definitely a good day to stay in and drink hot chocolate.

  13. Manise says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:50 am

    Feel better soon! Rest, fluids, knitting and spinning will help.

  14. Donna says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:53 am

    Then sleep is exactly what you should do. Hope you feel better. And maybe you can sneak some knitting in there too!

  15. LittleWit says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:55 am

    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.

  17. gale (she shoots sheep shots) says

    Hope you feel better- there’s a lot of ick going around.I saw someone wilt right before my eyes (mid knitting row) yesterday!

  18. Ina says

    December 8, 2008 at 9:11 am

  20. Kathy says

    December 8, 2008 at 9:42 am

    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. 😉

  26. elizabeth says

    I’m sorry! Hope you feel better – this is the wrong time of year to be sick!

  27. Lucia says

    December 8, 2008 at 10:56 am

    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.

  28. Hillary says

    December 8, 2008 at 10:59 am

    Feel better. Drink lots of tea and take care of yourself.

  29. kmkat says

    This one lasts a bit. Most people cough. Dry up the nose. Feel better soon.

  31. Carrie says

    December 8, 2008 at 11:07 am

    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.)

  32. Risa says

    December 8, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Oh no! Take care of yourself and feel better soon!

  33. Danielle says

    December 8, 2008 at 11:18 am

    Hope you feel better soon! Did I know that you went to Wheaton? I was just there a couple of weeks ago.

  34. Sara says

    December 8, 2008 at 11:28 am

    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)

  35. Julie says

    December 8, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Feel better soon, Carole!

  36. Beth says

  37. Jan says

    December 8, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    Oh Carole, I do feel for you! Rest up and hope you are feeling better by tomorrow.

  38. Doris says

    December 8, 2008 at 3:14 pm

    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.

  39. Cookie says

    December 8, 2008 at 3:28 pm

    Oh, honey, I’m sorry you’re sick. I hope you feel better soon. Make sure Mason is taking good care of you. xo

  40. Sarah says

    December 8, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    Rest and feel well soon, Carole.

  41. Norma says

    December 8, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    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.

  42. Leslie says

    December 8, 2008 at 7:57 pm

    Oh, sorry to hear you’re not well. We’ve had a bit of the “crud” here, too.

  43. jill says

    December 8, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    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?

  44. (formerly) no-blog-rachel says

    December 8, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    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!

  45. Jean says

    December 8, 2008 at 10:21 pm

    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.

  46. claudia says

    December 9, 2008 at 10:41 am

    Bummer, dude. Feel better soon.

  47. Nell says

    December 9, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    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!

  48. JessaLu says

    December 10, 2008 at 2:17 pm

    Feel better!

  49. Wanda says

    December 11, 2008 at 2:47 am

    I hope that you are feeling better. I am familiar with the term punky and that cracked me up.
