This week has been a road trip through hell and back. Beginning Wednesday last week, my husband went down with Covid-19. I kept testing negative but had to stay in bed on Saturday, too.
Then, my personal hell trip caused by nasty stomach flu took the best of me, so I was utterly unable to write anything meaningful on Sunday.
But here we stand together, in sickness and in health, and at least I managed to get my fourth vaccination against Covid-19 before I got sick.
Now, a week later, we are beginning to feel somewhat better; however, none of us precisely think that this was it for this round. My husband still feels weak and extremely tired, and I have to do anything in slow motion to not feel exhausted.
Friday this week, I went with a couple of close friends to the local market, and yesterday, we celebrated the birthdays of some other friends. We went home earlier than expected; however, this week’s health issues have taken their toll on my husband and me.
All my many plans about tidying up my creative dens, well, they went down the drain this week. The only thing I managed to do during the week was to remain reasonably sane while sickness ruled this house.
The upcoming ladies’ luncheon on Thursday next week demands that I get the tidying done, at the latest, on Wednesday. So, three whole days to get the job done seems like a lot of time, but it isn’t in the aftermath of nasty sickness.
The only thing to do is begin tomorrow, right after my fitness class. I will create a cozy and warm atmosphere in my creative den and work my way through the most manageable parts, to begin with.
Then, I will consider if it would be best to break down the job into several tasks Tuesday and Wednesday.
I know it is fun and relatively quick to do, but I’m overwhelmed by it today. Today, therefore, I have dedicated the whole day between writing this post and working intensely with my new 5D diamond picture, a little cabin throughout the four seasons. The point is to turn the image, depending on which season you are in at the moment.
In sickness and health, my husband stood up for me and took great care in addressing my needs, however sick he has been. During this week, we both needed to sleep more than usual, yet he has still managed to clean the house, wash clothes, and buy necessary groceries.
I’m very thankful to him, as I’m not good at being sick. I hate it, I feel miserable, and I almost can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel when sickness strikes me.
Now, I’m feeling quite alright again, but drained and slow in my movements. Therefore, I will wrap this up by wishing you a great week, dear readers and followers. See you again next Sunday evening.
