December 26th
Boxing Day
It was started in the UK about 800 years ago, during the Middle Ages. It was the day when the alms box, collection boxes for the poor often kept in churches, were traditionally opened so that the contents could be distributed to poor people.
.
As It happens, I am unwell, likely due to eating too many chocolate gifts from neighbors, plus other generally wastrel ways. So, soup and herbal teas for me, no box today, but a comfortable bed in a room of my own, for the which I am most grateful.

I'm still unwell at 8PM.
Taking Homeopathics, tea and toast.
Another day in bed.

11PM
I'm pretty sure its the flu...though no temperature.
 I was exposed and I've been feeling aches, exhaustion and the rest for several days. Also spoke to a neighbor who has it and said 'Tamiflu' helps reduce symptoms and sometimes one gets better faster. My pharmacy has it but it was 9PM when I phoned and I need an Rx. So, more sleep, liquids, homeopathic and tomorrow I'll try to get hold of my Doctor.

Love to you all.
