Went over to Nanaimo a few weekends ago. Thanks D for bringing my bed over. Went bowling with the folks, that was fun.

Was having bad back fatigue and aching on Saturday and then couldn't get warm on Saturday night. Then on Sunday I was burning up and basically spent the whole weekend in bed. Am now on the 3rd day of the flu and still burning up. My head and ears feel so heavy and the back of my neck feels like it's pushing down. Neck and back are hurting. My eyelids do not stay open...zzz...woe is me! Get the flu not the flu shot as I always say each year! After getting my first and only flu shot a few years ago and feeling like I was hit in the arm with a baseball bat for quite a few days I haven't gotten one since.

Glad I got my 532ml and 800ml stainless steel Klean Kanteen water bottles when I did at Capers as they were sold out the next time I went and only had the big 1132 ml left. http://www.kleankanteen.com/ or http://www.kleankanteen.ca/



Have been taking Nasonex nasal spray the past few weeks. It's a corticosteroid. For the first week I took the highest dose which was 2 sprays each side twice a day. During that week I was extremely tired so was glad when the dose was halved. Now I'm in the second week at 2 sprays each side once daily. I've been able to breathe better so went on three 5 k walks this week - Monday, Thursday and Friday. I also played badminton on Tuesday for the first time in almost 2 months! I have gotten flabby with the lack of exercise and just coming home and crashing so hopefully will be able to shed some of it.
