o/~ I'm ready to soar right through the sky, never dreamed I'd find something to lift me so high o/~
So, today Purr and I spent a lot of time sleeping. It's the first time we've actually slept longer than an hour or two without coughing hard enough to wake up. She's still worse off than I am, but we're both improving slowly. If I can keep her drinking lots of fluids, resting, and just bundling up when she's even a little chilled... or laying down when she's actually feeling tired or worn out... then I think we'll finally have this crud beaten. I spent time doing the laundry, myself, opened the house and sprayed Lysol around in an attempt to kill off the germs lingering around. And I even spent some time making a nice veggie soup for the two of us, since I knew we needed to eat something a bit more healthy than the things we've been eating lately.
I've chatted with a lot of great people on IM, lately, too... which is something I'd missed being able to do on a regular basis... while letting Purr rest her voice and just read some books she's been wanting to. I was going to play a board game with her, the other night, but instead I just let her keep reading since she seemed content and at peace for the moment. It's nice seeing her like that, instead of fretting, stressing or generally looking bored and/or pathetic from something or another. This morning, when we were still laying in bed, she and I talked a bit about things we should do, but I don't see us doing them when we're trying to get over this illness. So, it's something I'll have to keep in the back of my mind for one of those times when she does seem bored or stressed.
Things are improving, maybe not in ways that will allow us to remain where we're living or even to the point where we're making ends meet without scraping the bottom of the barrel. But, as long as we have one another, and there's happiness in one another's company, we'll manage to keep our spirits high... and that's the most important thing, in the end, to ensuring that we're alright.
