Seven Things I’m Particularly Thankful For This Weekend
Since I’ve been sick with strep throat the past few days, I’ve realized that there are some things that really make a difference for someone who is sick. Here are the things and people that made a positive difference for me this past week:
(1) Penicillin - Friday morning I felt like I’d been run over by a truck. After spending over an hour in the doctor’s office (They wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to share my strep germs with everyone else in the waiting room) I finally got a shot of penicillin around 10:30. By the time I went to bed Friday night I was feeling noticeably better. Miraculous stuff! Saturday morning - even better.
(2) RT - He has really pampered me while I’ve been sick. He has brought me breakfast in bed the past two mornings,  built a fire in the fireplace and tucked blankets around my feet as I sat in the recliner.Â
(3) Sweet Stuff - Friday afternoon when she found out that I had strep, she called to talk to me and gave me some seriously tender sympathy.
(4) Sunshine - Who hates getting shots, and upon learning that I got a shot yesterday, she also gave me some seriously tender sympathy.
(5) Stinkeroo - Who called each day to check on me and offered to drive me to the doctor and do whatever she could for me.
(6) Ice Cream - It just feels SO good on a sore throat (and tastes good, too)
(7) Homemade chicken soup - I made a pot of chicken rice soup yesterday afternoon - and it is SO good. Hot, healthful, and hearty. RT and I had some for dinner last night and will eat it for lunch and dinner today, too.
