Toddy

I took Jilda to the after hours clinic this afternoon and tests showed she had another bacterial infection. The doc told her that if I got to feeling puny, I should come in immediately.
I'd felt great all day, but the moment I heard those words, I felt a burning in the back of my throat, and my nose started running.
I told myself that that there is NO WAY I'm getting sick this weekend and that's that. So, I've said it. My throat felt better immediately and my nose is no longer running.
The earlier symptoms had to be psychosomatic....or at least I hope they were. I'll know by morning.
I think I'm going to make a toddy like Jilda's grandmother used to make with peppermint candy and Jack Daniels and hit the sack.
Stay well everyone, and have a great Sunday.

  7. Did the doctor put Jilda on meds or is she going the natural healing route? I sure hope you don't catch it and that Jilda feels better very soon.

  12. I am usually the one who's dealing with the health issue but I do empathize. I like your approach to health concerns. I hope you both feel fine. I stop by here for a dose of good sense and to see what's going on on the other side of the country. God bless you both. tr
