Better!

 I caught a cold.

Just an ordinary, garden variety, spring cold.

But it was ANNOYING!

Thursday night I thought it was Kyle's 

diffuser that was making my throat sore.

But I woke up in the morning with a RAW throat.

And a runny nose.

Luckily Rod took the day off to work with Kyle.

So he took care of all the farm chores.

I lazed on the couch.

Took LOTS of oil of oregano.

And blew my nose.

And ate chicken soup.

Saturday was a repeat.

Although my throat wasn't sore anymore.

But my nose was doing its best impersonation of

the Niagara Falls.

I cleaned out THREE semi-used boxes of Puffs Plus.

And ate chicken soup.

Sunday.... less nose running, more tight chest.

Actually, I woke up in the night with the WORST

headache I ever remember.

My TEETH hurt!

And my pillow felt like a boulder!

But I was in too much pain to get up and do anything

about it! (Including wake Rod...)

I eventually went back to sleep.

The guys had a job they could only do that day,

so I was home alone most of the day.

Which was PERFECT.

I lazed on the couch in my jammies.

ALL DAY.

And ate chicken soup.

Kyle made us fajitas for dinner and I actually

felt good enough to eat!

(And then I made a yummy, naughty, little treat

for everybody to celebrate I was getting better!)

(I love chicken soup, but I was out of noodles...)

This morning... I'm 90% better!

A bit of a nagging cough now and again.

But for the most part... I'm good.

Phew!

And since I didn't leave the house since Thursday,

I was anxious to check on my babies!

Eyes are barely open.

Wiggly little critter!

I was afraid he was going to hop right

off my hand!

(Turned his head just as I took the picture...

he is turning brown and has a white belly and

the insides of his ears are white... the others seem

to be staying black...)

There are only 3 left of the original 5,

but Ethel is doing a good job of keeping

them fed and warm in a nest.

She moved them deeper in to the hutch

since the wind has been whipping around about

30 mph for the past 2 days.

It was a chilly night last night,

but they did just fine.

Ethel is enjoying the fresh lettuce from the garden.

Turns out I'm not a big fan.

But I'm happy to share.
