Under the Weather…

I have not only been feeling the cold this week, but I have also felt every one of my advancing years. Terrible aches and pains and something like the flu have left me feeling ancient.

Despite several negative COVID tests, do we still call it that? I wonder if I should check with my doctor. Past unfortunate visits have made me loathe to make the effort, as I know the verdict will be the same. I am too old and worn out, and no help available.

I have tried to force myself to do something, anything really, to trigger a miracle, but after a few minutes, I have to give up. As a carer, there are some things I must do, so what little energy I have soon gets used up. Ironically, my patient seems fitter than I do!

Milo has been under the weather too this week, and judging by his behaviour, he feels much like me. He is now a very large cat and still growing. Milo can be stroppy and is definitely crazy, so when he seemed scared of the snow, I had to wonder what was going on. From always being outside most of the time, he has been spending his days curled up in warm places. Anita’s bed, mostly…

Yesterday was a little better. I felt stronger and a bit more alive. Not knowing how long it would last, I blitzed the emails and even spent some time with my work in progress. I retired early when I couldn’t do any more. Hopefully, this means I could be back to normal soon. Not that I do normal these days, but something I could be proud of would be nice…

I hope everyone is taking care and keeping warm too!

  1. I’m hoping you feel better. The winter’s cold gets right under our bones. <3

    1. You are right about our bones, Debby, I haven’t ached this much before…

    1. I’m sure we will both be better when it warms up a bit, Annette…

  5. I don’t know if this is of any help, but I’ve found I have more energy since swapping bread for wraps and cutting out anything sugary. I cook from scratch and tend only to eat vegetables, fruit, fish, chicken and hummus. I also do not drink caffeinated drinks. Perhaps try this for a month and see how you get on??

  6. One of the best exercises I know when you ‘just have to carry on’ is Square Breathing, Jaye. Try it for five mins and see the help it gives. Link here https://images.app.goo.gl/UfZ7VZNRPdcChDNe8
