My COVID19 test was negative! My sweet family was joyful and relieved when we got the news. My gift was truly feeling appreciated.
I am very thankful that I don't have that awful disease. I still have a very nasty upper respiratory virus that is wreaking havoc on my sleep. Since I have been coughing for almost a week, I'm completely exhausted. I have trouble sleeping at night because once I get settled, I start to cough, I get the cough settled by drinking water and then I have to get up and go to the bathroom and the cycle continues. Last night was especially hard because Number One Daughter was in and out of her room all night getting beverages and going to the bathroom and I awoke to cat fights and a full clowder sleeping all over me. I barely made it through my 4 hour work day. My head was pounding. I took a Benadryl, Tylenol and was able to take my first restful nap in a week! I really thought the good news would help me sleep last night. I am 52 years old, I can never remember a cough or cold with a fever lasting over a couple of days. I am on day 5! I still feel as awful as I did three days ago when I went in for testing. At least two people pointed out that COVID19 tests occasionally are false negatives. I don't need to hear that! It is Divine Mercy Novena Week, I am choosing to Trust in Jesus that negative is negative.
One of Hubby's work friends from 20 years ago brought us a pot of homemade soup last night. A gift of love humbly accepted.
As we were doing our spiritual walk tonight, it occurred to me that my deepening relationship with Holy, Powerful St. Joseph has been the gift from this awful season.
Please keep me in and my family your prayers, I'm pretty grumpy when I'm sick. Right now, we have 50% of our house sick. I hope and pray that everyone else stays well and we get over soon!
