I’ve turned a corner with my respiratory illness. I feel better this morning and believe I’m on the mend. I purchased a COVID test yesterday but decided not to take it as I’m getting better now. If I had to lay bets though, I believe it was COVID by the length and intensity of the illness. I’ll keep a close eye on my recovery to address anything funky that may turn up.

I have therapy at 9:45 and then I’ll go to the pool to float. Today will mainly be a catch up day after the past 9 days of illness and rest. I have much to do but will pace myself. Today for a meal I’m thinking meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy and fresh asparagus with chilled watermelon and berries for dessert. I have blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries. I’ve tried to be sure that mom is eating healthy and getting plenty of rest as we go through this. I’ll make us a healthy smoothie this morning after I enjoy energizing tangerine tea on the screened in porch.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day and stays cool.
