Busy week, Sunday was Mac's birthday and because he didn't have one in Spain I fixed him a Paella . I t was delicious, if I do say so myself. We Skyped with our daughter and he opened his presents. She, of course, sent him lots of Japanese goodies to eat. We both got him books and I got him some vintage items that he collects.
Then Monday I took him to the doctor. He'd come down with a bad cough when we were in Spain and we thought it was allergies, but it wasn't getting any better so we decided to have it checked out. Turns out he has the flu, not a bad case, but he needed medication. He's doing much better now, but I bet that cough just lingers, they do tend to do that.
I have a cough now and I'm wondering if I have it too. We have our semi-annual check-ups tomorrow so I guess I'll get checked out too.
Beautiful day here in the swamp, it actually went down into the 40's last night and today is sunny and only in the 70's. Feels like heaven.
Belated Happy Birthday to Mac! Oh, the flu, not good, not good. I hope the medicine takes care of it!

Happy belated birthday to Mac. Hope you both feel better soon. Mmmm, I love paella.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Mac! I hope you're both feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteBelated Birthday wishes to Mac and hope you both feel better soon. Long haul flights seem to bring out all sorts of virus's, the dry air doesn't help. Take care.
ReplyDelete40's over night here, too. Not 70 in the day, though. Happy BD and swift flu recovery.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you celebrated Mac's Birthday with a special dinner and goodies. I hope all goes well for you tomorrow at your doctor appt. It's almost 100 degrees here! Pat xx

Good luck with the check ups, I hope you're both fighting fit.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the flu is here already. We've been too busy to get our flu shots yet. I sure am enjoying this weather, too. Happy Birthday, Mac!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mac! We have had the same kind of weather. We needed the rain and the cooler temperatures. It feels more like fall now. I'm going for a flu shot tomorrow. Hope you both feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteCoolest day since April 8th, the weatherman said about today for Atlanta. Felt wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Mac! And take care both of you, those coughs can get out of hand.
Belated happy birthday to Mac..

It was unfortunate for Mac to have a birthday and the flu both together. Hope you haven't got it.
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes to Mac. I hope that you both feel better soon and the coughs don't linger. They can be so irritating. I hope the checkup went well.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Mac had a lovely birthday. I hope he is feeling better soon and that you don't have the same thing:)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Mac and hope you’re both better soon!
ReplyDeleteSending happy belated birthday to Mac.
ReplyDeleteHope you both feel better soon.
All the best Jan
So sorry to hear you aren't well! Take it easy. Hope you recover soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Mac! I think the most annoying thing about a cold or the flu is the cough that sometimes stays for weeks. I drink thyme tea to help with the cough.
