Tested positive again today.

I'm sick of being sick. Symptoms are not horrible, just bad enough that I don't want to do anything. I'm getting cranky from being in the house so much. Thinking of puttering around in the yard later.

I've heard people say the worst part of living alone is being sick. I disagree. I HATE people fussing over me when I'm sick. I have two friends who keep texting suggestions for what I should do, pushing me to go to the doctor. I understand they mean well, but wish they would back off. From what I've learned online, if your not sick enough to go to the hospital treat it like a cold or the flu. i.e. treat the symptoms and wait it out.

Times like this being a widow is a relief. When hubby was still alive I was expected to carry on with life if I got sick. Gawd forbid he got sick though. I was expected to wait on him hand and foot.
