I have never been a big fan of winter; usually by mid-January I am longing for spring. This year it wasn't really too bad -- I have been walking a lot, getting lots of sunshine which really does make a difference in my mood.
But then I got this stinking cold.
Yuck. I really don't want to share all the disgusting symptoms, but suffice it to say that this has not been a good couple of days. Finally, I went to the doctor to learn I have a nasty virus that turned into bronchitis. Now that I have some drugs, it should be getting better.
Sooner rather than later, I hope.
In the meantime, I have these lovely tulips from my daughter. And even feeling crappy, I could not resist taking a few pictures. ;) We had the nastiest weather here yesterday -- snow and freezing rain that turned to all rain with temps in the high 30's.
Yuck. (That's two yucks, if you are keeping score.)
So, I hope everyone is well, and warm and dry. There is something about the color red, isn't there? It just warms the spirit.
Happy Wednesday, dear bloggers!

Take good care Mary. Hope it won't be long until you're enjoying your walks in the sunshine again! It's been snowing for the past two weekends and in between here so I'm beginning to get a little cabin fever. Our spring will come in May so no point in getting too down in the dumps yet! Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteWishing you well!!! Hoping soon you'll be walking again in the sun! Cathy
ReplyDeleteHomemade chicken soup - honest, it works. Sunshine is good for you too. (o:
ReplyDeleteFeel better.
Hugs,
Joyce
Hope you're feeling better soon Mary! I shared your weather, not a fun day to have to get to work! I'll add my "yuck" too:@)

Best wishes for a quick recovery, Mary.
ReplyDeleteThe tulips would certainly brighten any day.
Double yuck for sure! I heartily agree with you on the yuckiness of winter, I'm a girl who needs her sunshine. I sure hope you feel better soon! Hot tea, warm soup, and doing as little as possible should set you back on your feet, and (yay!) we are halfway through January already!
ReplyDeleteah, i am so sorry you are under the weather! it seems like everyone is getting a bug or has had one. love your tulips! i went to a heirloom seed savings class last night and am so ready for spring! take care mary! jill
ReplyDeleteMore vitamin C and chicken soup! Get well soon!!! The tulips are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe're just enough north of you that ours turned to ice. Now our long driveway is a total sheet of ice.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Winter, gray skies and feeling sick can be daunting.

Hello Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that you're not feeling well...it's the time of year for getting sick. Beautiful photo's ...I agree that there is something about red that makes me happy. It reminds me of my mother...who seemed to always have something on that was red...and with her black hair it just suited her. We have freezing rain turning to snow here in Kansas today...yuck. I hope you're feeling better today.
Maura :)
Feel better soon. A good book, cup of tea and you lovely tulips will help the time pass quickly. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon! Carla
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better, bronchitis is awful, take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear you are so sick. Glad you have the meds you need to get better!
ReplyDeleteYes! Red is amazing!
Sorry you are still sick but it should start getting much better..
ReplyDeleteAs you might remember, my favorite time of the year is winter but...could be 'cause we have been having high 60's weather. :)) Not a lick of snow or rain...which we sooo need or else we will all be covered in dust come Spring.(which is why Spring is my LEAST favorite time...many MANY sandstorms out here in West Texas.)
Feel better..

Hope you feel better real soon.
ReplyDeleteMary, I hope you're feeling better very, very soon. What an awful thing to have. Yuck is totally right! I do love the beautiful flowers your daughter gave you and the gorgeous pictures you took of them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings for a fast recovery,
Susan @ CluckleBees
Awww. :(

For a "Double Yuck" day...you had a bright spot! The tulips are beautiful! Hope you feel better soon, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better soon. Lots and lots of rest and plenty of soup will take care of it. Oh, and the antibiotics! Don't forget them.
ReplyDeleteJanuary can seem long. Too long. And having a cold doesn't help. But what lovely tulips you have to brighten your space. Take care and feel well soon, Mary.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better! I had the same type of crud you are describing and it seems to want to continue to hang around.
ReplyDeleteI hope the medicine takes hold quickly and you feeling chipper by the weekend. I plan on buying some tulips this weekend. I could use a touch of spring in the house. La
ReplyDeleteTulips are such happy flowers. Oh, and that cold thing... we had it in December and into January. cough cough cough... kept rebounding on me even on antibiotics. Good luck getting rid of yours SOON!

Yes, there is something about the color red. And I hope you're on the mend soon.
ReplyDeleteThat first tulip almost looks like it's saying yuck yuck. I dunno, maybe it's just me . . .
Lovely Lovely Mary. Im finding each year as it passes to be honest my not liking winter as much either. Im with you. Stay warm and get well.

Hope the meds kick in and you're feeling much better soon! Pretty tulips...seems like forever before we'll see them in the spring popping up out of the ground. Take care, Cheryl
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting over two weeks of that miserable, nasty virus. Hope you feel better soon. Pretty tulips.
ReplyDeleteReally sorry to hear you are under the weather.

Double yuck, indeed!
ReplyDeleteMary, I saw the beginning of this post, briefly, and saw that you were sick and I've been thinking about you. I'm so glad that you're feeling better.
Now, speaking of seeing peeks of the beginning of posts - I just saw something for a second - on a blue plate - that made me GOL! (GaspOL! =])
I'm off to go take a look....
=D
Mary...hope you feel better soon...take Care!
