The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
Happy Sunday!
I didn't post last week because I was sick. Got the flu (as in Influenza A) and I don't recommend it! I was in bed for two days solid and there wasn't one part of my body that didn't hurt. I finally got anti-virals and started feeling somewhat human on Monday.
Anyhow, besides that we got snow! At first it was snow then rain and then it became full on snow. About a foot altogether. It's still here but it's sunny, cold and melting slowly.
Starla, Smokey and Peanut were a bit stir crazy. They kept going out on the covered front porch but then would quickly come in. The birds were crazy outside! Lots of Juncos, Stellar Jay and Oak Titmouse, and so they made do making bird calls as they looked out the windows.

How was your week?
I'm glad to hear you are better. You always do the lovely and difficult looking puzzles. I am just starting The Girls Before today. Glad to see you are catching up on the Read-along. I've been enjoying them more than I expected.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
The Book Classics puzzle was easy. The Jacob Amherst one wasn't! Thanks! I'm happy not to feel like the walking dead!
DeleteUgh I am sorry to hear that you were sick!! It is really making the rounds this year. I am glad that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a brutal flu season here, too! Thank you!
DeleteSorry to hear you were sick, but glad you are better. I love doing puzzles as well. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cindy! You too!
DeleteI had the flu once. It was the worst sickness I have every experienced. You poor dear! Ick! I hate snow. It's blowing around out there right now. They are saying like a foot to 2 feet. Where do they think I live!!! This is unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteYep, it was the worst!! The snow is slowly melting here. We have rain coming. Hope you don't get as much as forecasted! It really does make life hard if you can't stay home in it!
DeleteAfter I got the flu back in the early 90s, I swore I'd always get the vaccine each year, and I always have. I remember being so sick that I could barely get out of bed to take my kids to school and then pick them up. I'm so sorry you were sick, but I'm glad you were able to get some medicine to help!
ReplyDeleteI've been getting the flu shot every year since 2006 or thereabouts. Unfortunately this year the flu shot wasn't tooled into the latest variant that's being going around. Thanks! The anti-virals were a godsend!
DeleteWow you finally got snow! I heard about the tragedy at Tahoe and the avalanche .... ugh how awful. I wish they hadn't have gone. That's another pretty puzzle. We got snow here too last week .... maybe 5 or 6 inches. We needed it for the mountains. I hope you are feeling better now ... the flu is awful -- luckily I haven't gotten it in several years.
ReplyDeleteYes, that was a tragedy! I was hoping they'd find the missing skiers alive! We got 8-12 inches of snow and it's still here with us! It's supposed to rain tonight so maybe it'll wash it away. I'm so happy I'm not sick anymore either!
DeleteI am glad you are feeling better! Looks like you have had some snow too. And the books look like some good ones.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Yes! We had a good amount of snow and it's still here! I hope so!
DeleteSo sorry to hear you were sick. My daughter and I are sick right now and my brother is in the hospital with pneumonia.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your daughter and brother get well soon, Mary! Pneumonia is scary!
DeleteI am so sorry that you were smitten - flu is really horrible and can be dangerous so I'm glad you're recovering. I hope the coming week allows you plenty of rest to fully get back on your feet:).
ReplyDeleteIt was terrible! Thank you, Sarah! :)
DeleteOh no, not the flu!!! Glad the medicines are helping!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better. The flu is awful this year.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling back to normal this week! All that snow! We did not get any snow just some really cold weather. We might have some snow coming in this Sunday though from the current forecast. Hope you've been having a good week!

I am vaccinated even if they say this year it has mutated, but I think my kid got A two weeks ago, she had a fever for 6 days and all the symptoms. While no one of us got sick. Knock on wood
