I have been cutting back on the bottle for Pistol for the last several days and today was his first morning without a bottle. He was looking for the bottle but I just kept giving him small pieces of cracker and after a bit he just wandered off like the bottle didn't matter.
Teresa is more social than I am and of course managed to pick up a cold or flu bug. Then she managed to give it to me. She had a home test for covid and that came up negative.
I feel for you both. I haven't done/aren't going to do a covid test as this is TYPICAL of the bad cold I get once every couple of years. Lots of rest, fluids, vitamins, guaifenesin to keep my nose running... and it will run it's course. Coughing and all that fun crap. I am sure I got it at that meeting because of the cold weather, and my being more tired from not getting sleep like I normally do. It's time... it'll do it's thing and that will be it.
At least with the weather warming up I have been out some to soak up the sun.
We did find out sort of second hand that we have a flu bug. Teresa and a bunch of ladies at church were doing food baskets to give out to families for Thanksgiving and one of them got the test done to confirm it was flu. There wasn't much point in our doing tests (since I have never figured out what good a test did).
The test doesn't do any good except to let them add to the "horrendous number of cases of covid"....Covid is not any more contagious than a cold like I have or the flu bug that Teresa brought home from the church ladies...
Cousin Covid is no more than a head cold-at least for me it is. I’m building my immunity. My immune antibodies ought to be the size of a refrigerator by now, armed with a 12 gauge sawed off shotgun, bandoliers crisscrossed right above the ice maker, granades loaded on a belt, and a stockbroker buying up stock certificates in Kleenex. Yeah, I’m ready.
Bring it on!
I was cleaning up some pictures and ran across one with Lance working sheep at a friends farm before we got any sheep. He gets so little time now other than holding sheep in place if I let them outside the fence since it's faster for me to move them.
