COLD DARK ROOM

[jeff kushner]

That's a COOL pic buddy! Jan 2nd & 61F outside!

That fox actually looks a little sketchy....it's head shape isn't normal for a red or gray fox for that matter. Wonder is it's some kind of a hybrid.

I have to make an admission, full disclosure Jeff got sick.............yup, say it ain't so but spending a week or so with my cold-infested Kerry all week with her constantly whispering sweet nothings in my ear, I got a head cold on Saturday. Thought I'd kick it's butt by noon but didn't. It's finally going away today. THAT was weird...chills, sore throat, head running. I haven't felt those things since I was a little kid so I was really shocked to actually get sick.
I chalk it up to being sleep deprived and exhausted from overworking but won't miss the chance to "guilt" Kerry over it, for a decade or so....LOL

I just did my days chores....I took the trash to the can and got the 2 bottles of Coke from my truck....I need a nap now...getting sick makes you feel tired! LOL

That's crazy, Ray! Is the scale correct? He looks great! So big!!!

The scale is off. Opo looks a little larger in the picture but not to far off.

I didn't try any alcoholic drinks. It was the little devil on my shoulder egging me on.
I haven't had a drink in almost 20 years.
So if I am going to break my sobriety. It won't be 1 or 2 drinks. It is definitely the best thing I ever did for myself and family.

I'm glad for you sorry it was kind of a joke. Probably a bad one. Adam's Ale is water . And a lot of people are turning to mock tails as an alternative to alcohol. Which are good also. They are probably mainly fruit and some veggies made into a smoothie like drink.

Sounds like you could have covid Jeff - you've just described all the symptoms running through my family at the moment and they've all tested positive. Could just be a heavy cold and hope you feel better soon but maybe you should do a test so you don't pass it on.

Sorry hope you feel better soon. Joe got the flu so guess who else got it. It's now 3 weeks into it. I don't know which is worse the flu, covid, or a sinus infection it's still just plain sick. Rest, lots of fluids, and as little movement as possible (which isn't if you're alive ) then eat 2 cookies and call me in the morning.

 

[jeff kushner]

Yup, you guys were right, positive covid test.....damn! That whole emphysema thing and 52% lung capacity concerns me most but I already reached out to my Dr and my ex is a nurse so I sent a pic of the test to her since the "T" line was weird looking. I'll go in tomorrow since I get in hours before anyone else and get some more test packages and will retest and leave if still positive.

I'm not supposed to get sick! LOL

I had it with emphysema in January of 2020. You can do this. No vaccines were available then. Supposedly it's not as bad if you're vaccinated even though it's scary just to have it in the first place. Don't get me wrong it was real bad. I even have long covid but I'm still here. What I did was do everyday chores and nothing else because I couldn't. I paced myself. I ate and drank anything I could or that I could stomach. I actually ate 2 iced sugar cookies for dinner one night. Angel food cake and ice cream another night. Make yourself do it afterwards my lungs showed changes and I was headed for biopsies. My lung doctor had me start using a nebulizer because I had had covid and they went back to my normal. Get well.

Not a bad joke at all. Oh ok I didn't know Adams Ale is water. I was thinking of Samuel Adams beer.

Yes be concerned. I have a half of right lung that doesn't function. Putting off my covid for another day. Put me in the hospital with covid pneumonia.

 

[Ray--Opo]

I had mentioned my son Adam and his wife were in a accident Christmas eve. The police finally released the truck.

 

[jeff kushner]

THAT's a truck Ray? It's missing the front end! That has to be scary for you personally....glad that your boy and his wife were ok.



Thanks Cathie, you & Ray know how scary it is for us compromised folks. I hadn't know that you also have that little breathing issue. Pre-vax Jan '20 was "Death on a Platter" for emphysema patients so you are pretty tough Ms Cathie to have beaten it then! Not hungry at all...ate most of a Banquet pot pie yesterday while a steak sits defrosted in the fridge...and I ate some cookies, cherries, grapes and a banana. Sounds like a little kids meal, doesn't it? LOL

Thanks Jeff, the jeep was in the oncoming lane. Spun out into my sons lane and my son hit the jeep broadside. Thankfully nobody was injured seriously. My son still can't be on his right foot for any period of time. Going to see a specialist tomorrow.

 

[jeff kushner]

Night owl too? A sore foot, even for a lifetime sure beats any of the other worse options. Sounds like mini-fractures.

I have always been terrified of cars. That might sound odd coming from someone who raced motorcycles but I have always owned "tanks" b/c I'm afraid and they lower my stress. Even my 2 seater car has a cockpit that has been compared to the ground attack Warthog in terms of driver survivability. Good thing the family was in a truck and not a Yaris!

I broke a little toe during Covid so of course I didn't go to the DR's. I really did a job on it, twice in a row!....that cartilage will never be "right" but it's more of a nuisance and not a real bother.

 

[jeff kushner]

Went to office, retrieved folders, retested and failed again so I bugged out, wiped everything I touched and came home at 5am. I'll prob overpost now...sorry in advance but I don't feel like work but am bored silly. Unvaxed #3 daughter lives here and is on my butt to take care of myself, and to stay in my space.....not so sure it's not a self-serving act for her? lol

"come on Superman, you got this"

I think I will go and get the last booster shot that is available. Why I have been putting it off, I haven't a clue. Maybe it's so Rose will keep asking me when I am going to get the booster. Gotta keep her on her toes.

That's what I did. Anything I thought I could stomach I shoved in my mouth. Even if it was a chicken bouillon cube broth just something. And try to move now and then because it helps prevent pneumonia. I also have high blood pressure, osteoporosis, old age, mitral valve prolapse tendency etc etc. I also refused to think about the doomsday outcome and just concentrated on getting my routine for the day done each day. My animals always help me through the bad times because they keep me moving. Joe's the monkey that can't hear a dang thing

It's everywhere at the moment. Between covid, flu and the common cold all the winter bugs are on the attack. I hope you feel better soon Jeff and that the symptoms stay mild and don't affect your chest. Take care of yourself.
