Very quiet today

Bob has mostly been in bed asleep since we got home yesterday. We stayed home from church.
I am just puttering around online and around the house. Dried and folded lots of laundry.
I have to get the trash out and to the curb for tomorrow. I may do some extra kitchen stuff as well.
Bob feels chilly and achy. I hope it is not the flu.
The sun is shining. But it is cold. I am glad I have lots of sweaters and heated blankets.

I am sorry he is feeling poorly. I hope it's not flu as well--flu is currently rampant here.
It's very cold here today, and windy. I don't think I would survive without my heated blanket, it's so nice to crawl in bed and be warm!

It was not anything repiratory. May have something to do with kidneys or urinary tract. The new med made him feel better and so did the massive sleep.

It may have something to do with kidneys or heart. He did feel better this week.

I do not think he has been anywhere to get the flu. He is doing much better and did not have any flu like symptoms or a fever.

It's really very depressing when your life partner is laid down with some illness or recovering from an illness and sleeping a lot.

@GardenGerty You have to bear that until he gains strength. Wishing him a quick recovery.

Mentally drained but otherwise I am fine. No illnesses, etc. Bob did not ever develop a fever or cough.

I keep hearing noises outside but have no clue what it happening. Our trashcan at the curb blew over earlier but is back upright now. I suspect the older neighbor did that.
It's been partly cloudy today but we don't have any chance of rain. Our high reached 36F this afternoon.

@GardenGerty We got rain this morning and are supposed to have storms this afternoon through this next week. We have a totally overcast sky at 4 pm.
Edit to add: It's sprinkling and 61F right now.

When I wrote this the weather was glum, but almost a week later it could be spring or summer. With a new med Bob is doing somewhat better. Nothing stops old age, though.

We do not know what the problem was, but the sleep and a new med seem to have helped him. Thank you.

I do hope Bob feels a bit better soon Heather.
It does sound flu like
I was outside for 2 hours today working on a motorbike, I hope I don't come down with a cold.

You should not get sick from being outside unless someone brought you a virus.

there’s nothing like a sunny but chilly day to slow things down a bit

I do not think it was a virus, as I did not get sick. He felt better with the new meds and has had some labs run so we will find out if it is a UTI.

I was relieved that it did not seem to be the flu here. Many people at school have beens sick.
