I haven’t been able to read all week. The words sort of swim on the pages thanks to this confounded virus/sinus infection. Multiple Covid tests & flu test confirm its viral funk and could take a few weeks to clear out completely. I haven’t watched Hazel in a week, but the older grandchildren, aka the Royals, have come after school. They have been lovely, entertaining themselves while I rest on the couch. Nights are horrible as sinus drip and coughing keeps me up. I’ve managed a few hours working each day and then spend about an hour each night writing needed reviews. I apologize for not visiting everyone. On a positive note, Sophia will be NINE this week. My goodness, it seems like only yesterday that I told you I was going to be a grandmother and now…. they grow up so fast! Stay Caffeinated.

    hoping you feel better soon, and in time for Sophia’s birthday.. I have Catchpenny and Mind Games on my radar too so hope to get to them sooner than later

  2. Diana @ Book of Secrets

    I’m sorry you’ve been so sick. Viruses that linger are the worst. I hope you’re on the mend very soon. I can’t believe Sophia will be nine this week! I remember when you announced that your first grandbaby was on the way, and now she’s almost double digits! Happy birthday to her. ♥

  3. Jen Twimom

    I hope you are feeling better soon! Sinus / drainage is so tough. I know a lot of folks like you who are dealing with crud that isn’t anything else. *gentle hugs*

  4. Anne - Books of My Heart

    I am so so sorry this is happening. My best advice is drink lots of fluids and rest as much as you can. When I’m coughing at night I either have to kind of sit up while sleeping a bit so that it drains more or keep a cough drop in my mouth while I sleep. I hope you get a break soon!

  5. Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard

    Your virus sounds miserable, and I’m so sorry you’re suffering. I hope it clears up soon. But how lovely that the older Royals are able to entertain themselves and be sensitive to your health needs. Hard to believe Sophia is nearly nine; I remember your announcement of impending grandmotherhood!

    So sorry to hear you are going through this. I had it a couple of weeks ago. Same thing, could not read. When we, book bloggers, cannot read, it means we are REALLY sick!! Mine was just nose running crazy and fatigue, no covid nor flu, but enough to be quite miserable. And this thing lasts too long!
    I hope you can recover quickly

  7. Lover of Romance

    I am so sorry to hear your feeling poorly. I have had this sinus cold since Christmas, I am not sure if its just my allergies or if I have been sick. I have had covid a few times and I know its not that because its definitely different. I might have to see a doctor though because if I don’t get better soon I am going to scream hahaha

    Children do grow up so SO fast right? Hope you have a better week and can get some reading in!

  8. FranJessca

    I hope you feel better soon. Post-nasal drip is definitely the worst, especially when you’re trying to sleep. Happy 9th birthday to your granddaughter!

  9. Jessica @ a GREAT read

    Oh no! Sorry to hear you’re still sick! I hope this virus leaves sooner rather than later! And oh my goodness, the first Royal is going to be nine?! I do remember you telling us when you were going to be a grandmother! My how time flies! Wishing her an early Happy Birthday!

    Nice new reads! Those are all totally new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them all once you get to read them! Take it easy and sending you all the healthy vibes!

    Here’s my StS

    Have a GREAT day!

    Oh no! I hope you get better soon! I’ll wing some {{{posivibes}}} to you. 9 already?! That can’t be right?! *counts on fingers* Wow! Happy early Birthday, Sophia!

  11. Lisa Mandina (Lisa Loves Literature)

    Ugh, so sorry you’re so sick! That is no fun! I had a bit of sinus congestion Friday night, but it seems to mostly be gone now. Waiting for some warmer temps this week here, after one more round of snow and ice this time after midnight tonight. Wondering if we’ll get school canceled tomorrow as they’re predicting the mess to be during the morning commute. Hope you get to feeling better this week!

  12. Greg

    Aww, that’s awful! I hope you feel better soon. Take good care of yourself.

    I think I read one of Jennifer Ashley’s books, I’ll have to check.

  13. Lori

    I am so sorry you are sick. I hope it passes quickly so you can enjoy those grands especially Sophia’s birthday. (((Hugs)))

  14. Laurel-Rain Snow

    Oh, I hope you feel better soon! You’ve really been under the weather this season. Enjoy what you can…and it is amazing that your oldest grandchild is now nine!

  15. Maree

    I’m sorry you’re not feeling well – hopefully you start to feel better this week.

    I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been sick. How awful. I hope you are doing better each day.
