Here are some things I learned while being sick:
- Women of a certain age will leak when coughing and sneezing.
- Just when sleep is needed the most a coughing fit will materialize.
- Honey, lemon and hot water work just as well as cough medicine, if not better.
- There is nothing on TV during the day.
- A hot flash plus a fever is miserable.
- It's very hard to be at home in the middle of a weekday and not do chores.
- A sick body will make it very clear that it wants to lay down if chores are attempted.
- Did I mention leaking when coughing and sneezing?
- Missing 2.5 days of work makes for a pile of work to wade through upon return.
I'm happy to say that I am feeling much better today!
Oh dear on the leaking! And yes, a sick body knows what it needs and chores aren't on the list!

I had to laugh at the leaking. That sucks! My mom has mentioned that, oh goodness. She blames the six kids who smooshed her bladder.
Glad you are feeling better. And your body is right, it's really a good idea to rest instead of doing chores.

Sorry but this made me laugh so hard... especially the part about leaks. We of a certain age know all about this, lol.
Hope you're feeling better by now!
