I got another fairly good night's sleep other than just one wake up at midnight with parched throat and bathroom run. My nose is a snot factory on overdrive, but I guess that's a good sign. I feel generally OK otherwise, except a bit lethargic. I didn't need the Ativan last night, but put my sound machine on rainfall mode.

Our friends arrive at 10:30 am. I took a much needed shower and even washed my hair and shaved my legs so I could wear a light dress. After several mild days, today and a few days later will be hot at up to 31 C (89 F) today and 34 C tomorrow. Hubby pushed me to make my sister-in-law's famous puffy cheese sticks last night. The dough was already made. I think it's safe for them to eat them because they were baked at 210 C (410 F) for about 15 minutes, then I pulled them out and put them in the container all wearing a mask and gloves. I even rolled out, cut the dough, and egg washed and decorated them wearing them. However, this morning Hubby prepared some raw veggies to go with the open-faced sandwiches. I'm not so sure I eat them, though they're likely fine. Anyway, Hubby seems further towards recovery than I am. They are his past work mates/friends, not mine, so I have an excuse to excuse myself, if needed.
