Hello Mazy @Mazarita
The dreaded Lurgy is all over the country again! and it certainly seems to have locked-onto you! I take the usual vitamin and herbal supplements in Winter (well most of the year round really) C, Garlic, Horseradish, Echinacea - for coughs I use a couple of drops of aniseed oil on a teaspoon of honey and I always have a double handled large pot of water on the fire-box, if I'm chesty I'll put in eucalyptus oil or even leaves if I find ones that have a strong aroma. I find my cough gets worse at night, maybe because the air itself gets cold and dry - maybe just boiling a pot of water with your flat closed up might help? Or a good hot steamy shower (don't think of it as bathing - think of it as alleviating your symptoms). And I often find I need extra pillows to prop me up a bit at night, it seems even harder to breathe and I need to sit up a little; when it's really bad I sometimes have to sleep in my recliner. When I get sick I think to myself 'nobody can feel what I'm feeling but me, so nobody can know how to alleviate how I feel as well as me!', I think if you do whatever makes you feel better, as you actually begin to feel better, you start to get better quicker? So good old P-dols to help with the discomfort, and I find just the smell of chest rub, like aroma therapy or something, makes me feel like I'm trying to get better too 🙂
Yay for your reprieve with your internet connection 🙂 I hope they finish upgrading or what-ever they're doing, soon! I do hate it when the 'net's' out, or I run out of power - but in a way, I kind of like it a little too? {not that I'd ever do it on purpose!} But when my normal go-to's for entertainment & communications aren't available I usually go to something else like drawing or crafts, and it's kind of a nice change 😉 But the phone is incredibly frustrating, even causes an amount of anxiety - even though I don't actually make calls, I still can't contact the outside World, instantly with any hope of immediate response. Can you work on your videos offline? It's almost a pleasant reminder, how much you can do on these electronic boxes when they aren't even connect to the World Wide Web! 😉 I think I spend too much time online :);):D But in saying that, I've just come back inside from emptying the 'farm car' of branches and bits so it's ready for another run; while I was doing that the old gray matter started swirling - there's some good solid logs amongst them . . . I could use them to build something if, as I'm imagining many of the pieces will be, they are too hard for me to axe and just cause said tool to bounce. I'd like to make a platform outdoor floor, at the back door - just so that it's level and off the dirt. I've already found one beam log that fits from my solar-cage to one of the front fence posts, I feel pretty confindent I'll find another, nut-out a way to anchor them in place and then I can drape some shade-cloth over it all and create a green-house area 🙂 So even though I do think I depend a little too much an internet connection, I am finding myself wanting to go outside under the beautiful blue skies {which are perfectly clear blue today, not a cloud smear to be seen :)}, catching the Suns barrage of basking kisses as I move about, while my eyes casually drink in the colours that it's light illuminates - a rich sky-blue blue, gum tree green leaves, new shoot yellow-greens, yellows, whites and even a peep of purple and pinks in the wild-flowers all about me. It catches the movement in those colours as a gentle breeze sways the greens, yellows, whites, purples and pinks - and the fluttering of early season butterflies and bugs - and the swift, un-thought of, skills of the winged wonders that fill the air with song.
I'm glad you made it out to the beach, so many beautiful sights and sounds there - so easy to find good, positive, natural, energy. Maybe you should borrow C's jumper that you knitted 😄 I'm sure you rug up 🙂 Do you take a flask of coffee or tea? I used to often take one with me when I went for my walks in the forest, I enjoyed having a cuppa in the bush 🙂 I hope the cancellations you had to make were more re-schedules and that you don't have to go back to the beginning of the process again? Perhaps if you popped into your GP they could give you a certificate to hand in?
You never have to feel remiss in not responding to me ❤️ I will be thrilled when I receive a message from you, as I know it will mean that your feeling 'up to' posting one 🙂 There is nothing for me to forgive, the nasty germs that have invaded your body are completely natural and are only doing what they do 😄 I'm glad I touched your soul, I am grateful for the connection to it. I don't think it's an ordinary joy to be able to connect to another person, for me it is very rare and really it has been all my life. I do think that's why I'm so dependant on an internet connection, because that's where I've found the best connections - but on the occasions in my life where I actually physically met the person . . . that's when it all crumbles apart. I have met many souls here in Forumland that I can connect with, you were one of the first. There's a saying rattling around in my head 'you can never make new old-friends', I will be thrilled if we end up old-friends 😄
I also want to Thank you for sharing your thoughts with the forum, the times that you write, not to anyone in particular, just to the Universe, I think are your most honest thoughts. I'm sorry you felt so physically unwell ❤️ I think because I'm a fairly heavy smoker, when the bug battles in my chest it's often really bad. I know those split-second moments of panicing, and honest fear, of not being able to take another breathe - it's terrifying! I'm not saying jump to anti-biotic, but perhaps a visit to your trusted Doctor . . . even if just for a general check-up and see what she says about your chest? It may help to channel your focus towards a more positive energy hearing that your doing all you can or if a professional that you trust advises medications, then you'll know you are doing all that you can?
I hope your feeling better today and that constant live-stream of love is full of healing energy today as well ❤️
Niqua
