Monday Doings--Asthma, Air Fryer, Knee, Shingles

Bed has been my friend! For the last week, I have been fighting what I believed was bronchitis settling into my lungs. Well, maybe it does not settle, but I have been feeling it. I have elevated temp by 2 degrees.

I have used inhalers, otc guaifenisen, and rest, but it hangs on and is getting worse...as in asthma attack. I slept little Sunday night and slept late on Monday. I can stay up about two hours and then collapse in the bed and sleep for hours. All this rest is good for my knee as it is not quite so tender and painful. My eardrums are killing me! Shingles is back on head and outer ear. I am miserable!

Monday morning I did not have enough milk because I had milk Sunday night. About 6 pm we went to Publix and Tommy went in.

I had him get one half gallon of milk, well, 59 ounces. They did not have 2% in a2milk, so he bought whole milk. I only wanted him to get one. This is the first time he has gone in a grocery store in over a year.  We won't do this again. I felt so awful I did not even comb my hair and knew I would struggle even to drive the electric cart. Oh, I could have driven it--right into displays and people!

We went to Burger King and had a meal of Whopper Jr., little bit of fries, and drink. That made me feel so much better. Now, several hours later, I am still hungry, so while I have the strength I will go in and fix something else to eat, like maybe chicken noodle soup. I throw out the noodles.

While eating in the park, I told Tommy he needed to come and help me get meat out of the freezer as soon as we got home. The only reason I need him is for potential avalanches! Luckily, all he had to do was wait for me to take two packages of ground beef from the freezer. Tomorrow, I will find bell peppers and make meat loaf. I want to make the cheeseburger meatloaf, too. I took out two packages of meat. 

The park was a bright, fun spot when we watched people and birds! 

We got the air fryer out and tried to see why the cooking unit will not go back into the heating unit. No clue! So, I suppose I will contact the manufacturer. After asking Tommy for months to get it out and look at it, he finally did when I told him to do it now! 

I was informed of a place to get free lunch in Cullman, a new place and the same place that had dinners for elders and children...no dinners there now, and now lunch. They called me.

When I go check my mail this week, I will get my covid antibody test. I am anxious to know the result. Hopefully, the excessive rain will let up. Otherwise, we will not be out and about.
