I worry. He coughs. I sort-of sleep getting up every two some
hours. He coughs and gets up every few
minutes. We try everything to send sleep
his way. One night he sat in Grandpa
Gunthorp’s chair in the bedroom, and put his head on the bed. He slept better that night than any other
night. I wake and pretend to sleep. He doesn’t want any suggestions.

- Himself: Friday he worked half a day. Today he worked the whole day.
- Myself: Up very late. He thinks sleep is healing. Read blogs. Started Laundry, Found one hairdresser open who cut my hair really, really short, picked up cleaning, and grocery shopped.
- Photo: Milaka or Sahara, Portland OR.
- Reading: New to me author: Matthew Quirk, “The Night Agent.” I was almost put off reading it by the prologue.
- Gratitude’s: Laundry done, dishes done, dinner done.
I'm with him. When I am sick, I go to bed and sleep, sleep, sleep. If I wake up, I read. I am a big believer in sleep. I don't know if you ever use alternative products, but I swear by this one for cough. https://shop.boironusa.com/medicine/childrens-chestal-cough-honey/ And yes, I use the same stuff as the grandkids. haha PS I like the haircut!
ReplyDeleteI visited a friend in Florida once and went to her hairdresser's for a cut and got one just like that. I was not too happy as I could never dress it up or down....! It grew out in a month and by two months I was back to being me. Thinking of your guy and wishing him fresh air to help with the coughing. That is one beautiful Portland photo, but what is the story on the cow pin?
ReplyDeleteGeorge found the pin at an estate sale years ago. After we had been back for a while, I lost it. He found me another with an online search.
DeleteHow lucky that he could find another...or maybe the same one?
DeleteThis seems to have been going on for some time. I hope it resolves itself soon.
ReplyDeleteI understand that worry when a loved one is sick. The feeling of helplessness is terrible.
ReplyDeleteGeeze, I wish you guys would get better. And, if you like your hair short, hang onto that hair dresser!
ReplyDeleteToday is better than yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI get some sleep but have to work at it. What a job it is to relax!
ReplyDeleteLove that picture of you two, obviously when you were both feeling better. Come on now, this has been going on too long-- KICK THIS COUGH TO THE CURB.
ReplyDeleteHoping for the two of you that you get a decent nights sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteNot yet.
