Thanks To A Green Husband...There Goes My Date Night!

(Green Owl Art Print by courtneyoquist)

       Hubby has been so careful!!...sanitizer or gloves every time he went to the post office; washing his hands like a crazy person every time he went out of the house and came back in; no hugging or kissing of friends...and when he forgot and did hug or kiss someone, he would immediately go into 'kill bacteria' mode!...taking vitamin C, and spraying everything with Lysol!!...Sorry friends, but yes he did spray the chair you sat in, and put on rubber gloves to handle the glass you drank out of! LOL

      But even with all of the exaggagerated carefulness!!....*cough! cough!*...this morning he woke up with a lot of...excuse me for the straight-forward language...PHLEGM!!! And then...a fever started!...*sigh*...So far it's not that bad. He's drinking LOTS of water and green tea with honey and lemon...

        ...and sleeping.

       I'm so sympathetic too! Can't you tell?! ^_^ Actually, I'm probably not as sympathetic as I should be. All I want is for him to feel better....and not touch me!!!! LOL He can keep his sickly green to himself!! ^_^ 

       He woke up a few minutes ago and said something to me, and he sounded like his voice was two degrees deeper than normal....Nooooooooooo! O_O Poor baby. :-( ... He says he feels a little better. Knowing him though, he's probably saying that because he doesn't want me to be upset. That's how he is when he's sick...and green...thoughtful and docile. :-( ... Not like me, who would be whining...crabby...dressing in my nicest attire for napping...

     ...listening to bouncy music...begging for more and more back rubs...and eating! ^_^

        The above photos...sorry Y'all! :-) ...is some of the delicious banana bread my girlfriend brought us again this week...YUM...and topped by some homemade applesauce!!...hubby made it!...before he became green, of course! LOL

     Back to what I was talking about!..We're still not sure how hubby caught it...whatever 'it' is!...Was it grabbing a door knob when he was at the post office;...Or going out onto the patio barefoot to take photos....YES HE DID! Grrrrr!;...Or was it when he shook hands with the woman that came over to ask me the health questions?!...which, by the way, wasn't that many questions...because three other people are gonna come and do that!! *blink, blink*...In any case, he got a little complacent about the 'carefulness'... probably because he thought the snow would kill everything!...NOT!
       By the way, it's still snowing!! ...Thankfully it's not accumulating that much in our area. I don't think we have more than 2 or 3 inches.

      Only time will tell if it's gonna turn into an all out cold...flu...event! O_O I sure hope not!!! I'm the sick one around here! Me! Me!!!!! LOL Hubby is not suppose to get sick! And he's not suppose to be carrying 'cooties' and giving me new sicknesses....newer than my 'old' sicknesses I mean. ^_^ I already know how my 'old' sicknesses are gonna behave for the most part. I don't wanna be throwing new 'acting up' in the mix!! LOL

     I mean, given enough time, I can do green too!...Other than my boutonnieres too! ^_^

 (Wuglyees)

     All jokes aside, I have to tell you also that we got a phone call late last night. You know, one of those late night phone calls that come from someone who doesn't call often, and who never calls you at night! One of those phone calls you just know is gonna be bad news!...And it was. :-(

     One of my friends passed away. :-( I hadn't even known she was 'that' sick...*sigh*... Is it me, or does it seem like people are dropping like flies lately?! O_O I have a lot of friends with catastrophic illnesses, and I keep hearing stories of other people dealing with serious illnesses too!...*sigh*...If not for my faith that very soon things will get better, it would be tough to deal with all of it...How do people with no belief in God, no understanding of the Bible, or no religious upbringing, deal with it?!...How do they answer the questions of life?...and death?! O_O

       Speaking of questions, hubby and I are gonna do a post where we answer questions. We're gonna gather 20 questions from any of you with questions. Ask us anything!...but keep it clean, please! You can ask the questions in the comments section below, or send them to my email. (click my profile above to find the email link) I'm kinda excited to see whether there is anything about us that you don't already know! ^_^

     Okay...off to doctor a green husband! LOL Have a good day, Everybody! :-)

The cold came out of nowhere

The cold came out of nowhere,
like a dark gray cloud of gloom.
It descended on our big plans.
Our sick-bed became a womb.

We could hear our hearts were beating,
as we laid there in one spot.
With this cold, we needed rest,
and rest is exactly what we got!

As we rolled from left to right,
with sniffling, coughing, fever too,
it was nice to have some quiet,
and no plans of things to do.

The cold came out of nowhere,
and it left us just as quick.
It's a good thing too, because
we don't have time for getting sick?!

I'll Be Dr. Wug To An 'Under-The-Weather' Mr. Wug Today

(Sbritt)

       It started with a little bit of a drippy nose a couple of days ago. I should've known right at that point that I'd have a sick Mr. Wug on my hands...because he hardly ever gets the sniffles or anything! Now he has a fever, body aches and pains all over. Add to that...the fact that he's also on antibiotics for an infected tooth, and now you know why I'm 'Dr.' Mrs. Wug today!       

      And he came home from the barber shop with such a nice haircut yesterday too! Now that nice haircut is being wasted, being seen by nobody but me...and a soft pillow. ^_^ Oh Well...that's the way it is sometimes!

      I'm sitting here typing away, with "In Performance at the White House" on the T.V. (PBS, the Public Broadcasting Station for our area) with 'The Motown Sound' hits being sung by 'Seal', 'Jamie Foxx', 'Nick Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers', 'Sheryl Crow', 'Jordan Sparks', etc... It's fabulous!! You can watch it in full HERE if you like. :-)

     What I did to entertain myself all day yesterday, while Mr. Sick Man was sleeping, was crochet...and crochet...and crochet some more! I finished this headband...

          I'm not that crazy about this particular yarn. It's a little too spongy for my tastes. But someone gave it to me a while ago and I just had it sitting around here. I just had to use it! And now it's done! :-))

       When I finished the headband I still had some of the yarn leftover, so I decided to make a matching...kinda...scarf to go with it! :-)

        I'm actually a lot further along now than the pictures are showing. It'll probably be all done later today. It might've be done already, but I got the custom order for a particular headband and I left off from working on the scarf in order to do the headband. I was excited about the colors! :-)

      Turquoise!...

         Isn't it pretty?! :-) And the flower has a totally different color...Magenta!...

         I finished it too!...

       These are colors that are totally out of my normal color scheme, but I like 'em!

       I hope my customer likes them!

     After it was all done I was about to go back to crocheting on the scarf when I realized I still had a little bit of a variegated thread that I wanted to make a necklace flower out of...so I did!...

           I put a little button on it, and I'm gonna add a gun metal chain to it and list it in the shop next week...

       So as you can see, I've been busy while Mr. Wug has been doing some 'Get-Well' sleeping. :-] ....My poor little sick Mr. Wug...

      

       ...If loving him 'un-sick' is possible, he'll be fine by this afternoon! ^_^

       {I hope this cold ends up leaving as fast as the last one we had...I wrote a poem about that one. It's down below.}

I Asked Hubby To Give Me One Word To Describe The Weekend. He Said...

       ...REST! {Click on any photo image and it will link you to it's source}
     Yep! Rest!...And the reason he said 'rest' was because that's all we did all weekend. And because he, whether he initially wanted to or not, got lots of it!! I say "whether he wanted to or not" because 'resting' wasn't suppose to be in the plans this past weekend!
    We were 'PLANNING' to catch up on some things. But instead, on Friday night he started to get a sore throat, which was followed by heaviness in his chest, which was followed by ridiculous coughing, which was followed by a lot of thick gunky stuff coming up, which was followed by....a fever!! :-(
     I thought: "Oh No!! He's done it now! He's gotten the flu!! That's what he gets for rubbing shoulders and shaking hands with all of those 'Walking Germs' he calls 'co-workers' and 'store employees'!!" {Being so allergic to everything, I have my own perspective on the world! LOL}
    So, all day Saturday, it was REST.....

          ...and some soup, green tea with lemon and honey, endless hours of sleep, listening to music, and...some rain clouds rolling in.

       On Sunday he was feeling a little better!.....But then I got a little fever and a sore throat!! :-( Thankfully I jumped right on it, and this morning I'm already feeling tons better. I never got the cough or the gunky stuff. (Although I do have a little bit of a drippy nose. Hopefully that will be as far as it goes!! I've got some catching up to do today! I don't have time for a cold or the flu!!) :-]
    Anyway, as the day wore on we both were feeling a bit better. {I got a delivered package that helped me to feel tons better too!! :-) I'll tell you about that tomorrow!} By late afternoon hubby actually got out of bed and started looking for things to do,...between the coughing spells and drippiness I mean. ^_^ He was even hunting for something he could eat!

       That was the sure sign to me that he was feeling better! :-] We still spent a lot of the rest of the day in bed though...(with the knowledge that Monday was gonna come waaaay too fast, and that we would need all of the rest we could get to tackle it!! LOL)

      So, that was our weekend...How was yours?! :-)
