I really don't know what it is about this winter, but I have been ill or not feeling 100% more than ever before. Heck I even managed to get through Covid times without being ill as often.
Then once ill it seems to take me longer to get over whatever it is I have managed to come down with. Today was a tummy upset that kept me up most of the night, and tied me to the house. Bummer as it is Palm Sunday and I really enjoy this Mass. I will need to make a trip to the church to see if I can get some palms at some point this week.
Now I was asked what we use to spray on the Maple bugs/Boxelder Bugs/Halloween Bugs so I will answer here just in case more are interested in that. We mix dish soap and water and that seems to help keep the infestation down a bit. A person needs to keep up with the spraying.
I was also asked about my mini computer. It can in fact be used as a desk computer, but you would need a monitor and a keyboard or mouse to make it work. I have mine hooked up to the television (that acts as a monitor) through an HDMI cable. Kris purchased a wireless keyboard for me to use with it. When I travel I take my Notebook computer from the desk and the mouse/keyboard combination. Or sometimes just the mouse. I have never taken the mini on a trip.
Off to do a bit of knitting while the potatoes and carrots roast in the pan with the beef.
I plan on visiting all of you after supper.
Everybody have a wonderful day.
God bless.
I’ll have to try the water and dish soap trick for those bugs. Thank you for that tip.

I think as we get older we pick up 'bugs' more often and they seem to take longer to get over. The RC and I still wear masks when we go out - just to be safe. Lots of hand washing too.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to not feel your best.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you aren't feeling well. I hope whatever is "bugging" you resolves quickly.
ReplyDeleteI've heard that adding a bit of salt to the dish detergent and water solution will help to soften the shells on the bugs, helping get the solution to them. I haven't tried it myself so I don't know if this is true.
Sorry you've been unwell. OH has had a stomach upset since he got home from his trip, but seems to have shaken it off now, finally.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to read that you are feeling unwell again. I think as we get older our immune system weakens and we just pick up germs more often. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteDear Jackie, I am so sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. The stomach 😫 can sometimes affect other aspects, one is sleeping and another sometimes can bring on a headache. I hope you feel better soon 💕 💓
