Well I’m back on my feet again. Sort of…
What a weird bug I caught. Started feeling crappy on Tues (sore muscles, scratchy throat) and I decided to take a few days off to rest and sleep this bug into submission. Thank goodness for my snuggle buddy. He is such a good dog when I’m sick. Lays right beside me and helps me sweat out all my toxins.
We did a lot of sleeping.
Drank a lot of soup.
Played a lot of “Words With Friends” on the iphone (my user name is sarahkramersuperstar if you want to play a game.)
I took a bunch of hot baths in epsom salts.
And by this weekend I felt well enough to get dressed and run some errands for the shop. While I was shopping I may have purchased a Snuggie For Dogs. It was 70% off! I couldn’t help myself! *laugh*
So while I’m physically feeling a lot better (I was as weak as a kitten for a while there) I am still stuck with an annoying dry cough that won’t go away. I cough myself awake 100X a night. It’s making for a very fretful sleep. Anyone have any natural remedies for soothing a dry cough?
BTW. I think Fergus is enjoying how much time I’m spending in bed.
So glad to hear that you’re on the mend.
oh! it looks like Fergus is smiling in the last photo! How cute!!!!
Lavender oil! Mix 20 drops (LOTS) of pure lavender oil with a good squirt of moisturizer and rub into your chest/neck/under your nose. Works for me everytime!
I will try that right now!! 🙂
