Sick

Sick is something I seldom do. But today I'm sick. Fever. No appetite. Cough. Chest mucous. Mental fog. Want to sleep. 

So what happens on the farm when the farmer's sick? I still tend the livestock.....but that's it. If it doesn't have 2 eyes, it doesn't get attention. Thus this is the time when I resort to using commercial feed. Out come the bags and scoop. Everybody gets fed and they treat it as though it's a grand birthday party. The love it. It's something different and it brightens their day. 

I hope to feel better quickly, but my gut feeling is that I'm going to be down for 1 or 2 more days at least. I'm quacking myself, treating the symptoms. But still, I suspect this isn't going away overnight.

    1. Thanks Leigh. Your concern is appreciated. Happily I'm slowly getting better. I'm back working, but I'm only at 50% speed. It will improve as I shake off this bug.

  2. Hope you feel better soon! I rely on my homemade fire cider to stop colds pronto. Works like a charm.

    1. No homemade hooch here, so I'll have to try something else. Local honey often helps.
