All The Vitamins Please

I had a bit of a chest cold feeling earlier last week so I started taking Vitamin C. And then my mom’s roommate got sick I added Zinc.  I’ve not been taking my vitamins and herbs lately. For a long lately actually. Bad Jenny. Restart! Refresh!

And eating lots of salads. common phrase around Weber Wonderland is “we need more lettuce in our life.” Oh and I’ve been getting some rays of sun. And my hands and feet dirty (I weeded out the herb garden area tonight after work to get ready to plant! Yay Garden!) I put three “tentative” friend dates on the calendar! Walked the puppies two days in a row!

Ok, ok. I’m trying a little much here. But my point is, I’m crawling out of the Depression hole. THANK GOD.

Turns out the chest cold my mom’s roommate had—-is now taking up residence with mom. Poor mom. Fever and all. Bah. I had planned on breaking her out of the home this afternoon and wheeling her down the block to the office and hang out with me while working. Or find some kind of work for her to do.  After all free labor! Only kidding, she was going to read and write.) BUT can’t do that when one has the ICK. And this means I’m being selfish and staying as far away as possible for a day (or maybe two) no need to get sick if I can avoid it. Must take care of self to take care of others. Right?

Nursing homes are impossible when something like a chest cold or flu hits, there’s no one who escapes.

I did roast a chicken tonight and plan on making some of my good ol’ fashioned Weber Wonderland Immunity Stock—chock full of garlic and onions! Along with some orange juice and ginger ale. And maybe some warm Cherry Jell-o.

Daughter taking care of the mom. Adulting. Bah. I still feel like I’m 23 instead of 43. Where does the time go?
