Darn it and botheration 😷

[grumpyoldgirl]

Hi runny folks, well I made it through two runs of week 4 and managed it pretty well - although I felt pretty tired all day after my second run on Friday. Felt happy enough to take a photo of the flowers coming through! Woke up on Saturday with my sinusitis feeling like it was turning into the beginnings of a cold. By the end of the day, it was definitely a cold (You can see where this is going can't you..)

Yesterday, I thought I should probably do a lateral flow just in case, although I'd tested negative on Friday. The drops had barely hit the tester before a nice strong red line appeared. Oh gosh and darn it 🤒😷

I just feel like I've got a bad cold though. In fact, when I *did* have just a cold in January, I felt much worse than I do now. Still, no running for me this week. Self -isolating and daytime TV instead 😬

Thank heavens for vaccines 🙏

Frustrating but maybe an opportunity to re-charge the batteries? I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, I'll try and remain philosophical!

Oh what rotten luck 😖. I hope you won’t feel too rotten, and deffo daytime tv and feet up! 😊

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Frenc]

Feet up as instructed ☺️

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Oh no! What bad luck. Hopefully the symptoms will stay mild and it will be a chance for a bit of a recharge.

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Well, it cheered me up to see that you are making good progress at least! So far, I'm ok so fingers crossed.

🤞 thanks lovely

Uh oh. Take care and use the opportunity to put your feet up and relax. Hope your symptoms stay mild and you recover soon.How many days do u have to isolate for?

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to Me_time]

Thanks. It's 10 days, or a minimum of 6 days if I get two clear lft's in a row. So that could be as soon as Thursday if I count from first day of symptoms, or Friday if I count from day of positive test. (I've had conflicting advice on NHS emails)

[PeggySusi Graduate]

Just read this not grumpy, and oh! You have had a long journey since your injuries. You show such patience and perseverance. I hope that you are better now and perhaps running has resumed again. It is lovely seeing flowers appear isn't it?

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thought you'd be pleased to know that I've just been for a little stroll along the canal. Again not very far, but it was lovely to see the ducks - and other people!

[over61andstilltrying Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Ducks, people, canal, fresh air and legs working all sounds good. 😊
