Plans this week:

Pneumonia ✔️
Rest ✔️
Books ✔️
Return to Work ❓

Luckily it‘s starting to clear up, but I don‘t think I‘ve ever felt this crappy or weak. So I‘m going to take advantage of the time home with the fire on the tv to sleep and read while LO heads to daycare.

DrexEdit Sounds like a good plan. I hope you're feeling better soon! 😊 I'm glad you mentioned your fire was on the TV. It looks like it is buffering and I thought I was losing my mind. 😁😁😁 4y
vkois88 @DrexEdit lol my internet went down right as I took the pic 😂 Thank you for the well wishes... it‘s been a loooong week already! 4y
ljuliel Pneumonia takes the sap out of you, doesn‘t it ? I‘ve been in the hospital twice with it. (. The pneumonia shots don‘t work ) 🤨. Get lots of rest and take your meds. Hopefully you‘ll get some power back soon. 4y

vkois88 @ljuliel I honestly don‘t think I have ever been this sick before... luckily we caught it before it got bad enough to be in the hospital but it suuuuuucks. I‘m trying to get all the gunk up and out but it won‘t work lol 4y
ljuliel I hope you see some improvement soon. It takes a while to start gaining your strength back . Go back to the doctor if you don‘t feel well before long. What‘s your temperature been running? 4y
vkois88 @ljuliel they broke my high fever Friday or Saturday... so it‘s mostly been running normal to a 99-something off and on since. I still have the hot flashes and chills. I‘m just gonna take it easy until I have to go back to work. 4y
MissAimz_55 Oh no feel better soon! 4y
ljuliel That‘s good. It sounds like your meds are working then. You‘ll get better. Just don‘t try to overdo it too soon. 4y
vkois88 @ljuliel will do... thank you ❤️❤️❤️ 4y
vkois88 @MissAimz_55 thank you ❤️ 4y
tracey38 Oh no! I'm glad to hear it's starting to clear up and that you're getting some rest. 💛 4y

Andrew65 Love this! 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 And it makes sense (unlike Brexit 😂🤷🏼‍♀️) 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads To be honest not really bothered whether U.K. is in Europe or not, but the government needs to stop being an embarrassment and sort it one way or another. They are a total joke and MPs acting in own interests rather than the needs of the nation. 5y

Tove_Reads @andrew65 Sadly, seems to be the same in every country. The most important thing is to trash the opposing views... I am very much entertained by 🇬🇧 politics right now (well, not the break), but never heard cursing before and never many other things. Not a fan of BoJo, but he is entertaining. 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I‘m just avoiding the politics because annoying me too much! Not sure why they put it to a referendum if not going to act on it (Agree with it or not), then they laughingly call us a democracy! Sounds like only allowed a voice if they agree with it! 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Interesting times! Once a decision is made, it should be it! I don‘t care what the 🇬🇧 does, but it bothers me if I‘ll have to pay extra to get books, so might not be able to get all the books I want in the future, and therefore not take part in group reads. So, this means I‘m against Brexit, unless there‘ll be a good trade deal. I mean, nothing else than books really matter! 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Definitely, you never know it might improve things for the better but something has to happen first! 5y

We went to the outlets not far from me and i always get excited because they have a discount bookstore. i always load up in cozies there! Sadly they are closing on the 25th for good. 😢 They were having a closing sale though and all hardcovers were $2.00 and paperbacks were $1.00. I may go back one more time!

🌸 I'm typically a mood reader but I try to always pick a book that's been on the shelf the longest.
🌸🌸 I can read on a train / max / light rail just fine but for some reason I struggle on the bus and in car rides.
🌸🌸🌸 Thankfully only if someone is talking at me
🌸🌸🌸🌸 I enjoy fresh fruits and iced green tea!
