Today has me bundled up in blankets, chamomile tea by my side, feeling all kinds of achy and exhausted with a sore throat and a slight fever. Not quite the relaxing day off I’d planned!
I’ve created a cozy little spot in bed, complete with my favorite mug, some honey-laced tea, and a good book within reach (and maybe it’s finally time to open that puzzle box). My body’s telling me to slow down, so that’s exactly what I’m doing… sort of. I’d taken a vacation day to relax and unwind, but here I am, stuck in bed instead!
My mom arrived yesterday (as planned weeks ago!), so I’m feeling a little guilty about not being the best host. Luckily, she’s already made me tea and seems happy to settle in too. Hopefully, with a bit of rest, I’ll be back on my feet soon—and maybe even ready to relax properly.
For now, it’s just tea, blankets, and fingers crossed for a speedy recovery! 🛌🍵

feel better Ilze! Mike
Thank you, Mike. The problem is – I’m not good at napping. If I nap – I can’t sleep half of the night. The temperature is rising… 🙁
Aww, I’m sorry you have to spend your day off feeling sick. Sure hope you are better soon!
Thank you! I hope this will end soon and I can be back to my “regular” health problems 🙂
Get well soon! Take good care of yourself…
Thank you, Herman.. That is HARD with kids around 🙂
Feel better soon, Ilze! 😊
I hope!
❤️😊
Feel better tomorrow
Thank you, Derrick! I’m not good at this.. I do everything like “normally” and then “crying” for being tired 🙂
I think your mom being there will also speed recovery. Honey has medicinal properties so be sure to add that to the cozy stash you have.
I have raw honey, yes! Don’t worry – it’s ok to eat it here 🙂
It must taste great with mother
nature to eat from! I like Manuka Hoey from New Zealand but most are stronger tasting and I wouldn’t use it in tea. The medicinal properties are high so I eat a tablespoon a day.
I love fresh linden honey 🙂 so nice.
Feel better soon!
Thank you, I hope…
best place to be in bed
It seems I can’t stay there…
Wishing you better days, it is good to have your mom around now, taking care of you.
I’m afraid that’s not the case. I can’t help feeling guilty for not taking better care of her… after all, she’s my guest.
You are smart to take to your bed when you’re not feeling well! I hope you are better soon!
Thank you for such a kind word.. unfortunately viruses don’t leave me alone 🙁
