Not Quite as UGH as Yesterday!

I did not feel much better this morning when I got up but I did feel better. I learned from yesterday to spray my nose with the decongestant nasal spray and then take some pseudoedrine and that kind of clears up my stuffy nose for a while at least.

After breakfast I loaded up the dishwasher and added the soap and asked Kathleen to turn it on after she put her coffee mug in. Then I went outside and planted some of the plants that we got the other day at Fred Meyer. I only got half of them planted as it took me a while to prepare the soil.

After going inside and cleaning up I took a little nap in my chair and by the time I got up it was time for lunch. I made a veggie burger with a slice of onion and cheddar. As I was looking out the kitchen window I noticed all the walnut pollen pods on the front lawn and decided that I would go out and rake them up.

Once I got them all raked up and disposed of I decided that the front lawn was looking a little ragged; something that usually happens after raking the lawn. So I got the little reel mower out and mowed the front lawn I even mowed the west side of the driveway. I think that I have neglected that part of the lawn for several weeks and it was really starting to show.

By the time I finished mowing the front lawn, put the mower away and cleaned up I was really tired so I took another nap in my chair. I sleep better sitting up as my nose does not get quite as plugged up. I slept for quite a while again, so maybe I am making up for some of the lost sleep at night.

I feel like I got a little more done today and I feel better tonight than I did last night so hopefully I am starting to shake whatever it is that has been bugging me for the last week. My voice is still rather horse and my nose is still plugged up but over all I feel better.
