I mentioned a few days ago I was doing my best to fight off a potential head cold and I believe I did this with success! I've feeling pretty good. When I felt the mini sniffles coming on I pumped up on a few healing foods such as garlic, berries, Emergen-C, etc...
In addition to this I took out my contacts. I fully admit I wear my contacts TOO much! My eye doctor knows this and in the past as prescribed me with the most hydrating contacts available. I've done well with them. I haven't had any eye damage and he check that each time I go in. The last 3 appointments I have had my sight has stayed the same...totally unchanged...up until 3 years ago...this has never happened...this makes me very happy! So the other day I decided to take my contacts out for a few days and do an eye detox of sorts. I do this every once and a while to give my eyes a rest. I have to force myself to do this, tho, as I hate wearing my glasses. I guess I just use my peripheral vision more than most people and I don't see as well with my glasses VS my contacts. Another reason I did this was to prevent myself from touching or rubbing my eyes. Many germs get to your system quicker while we rub our eyes and we do it without even thinking about it. It's 2nd Nature.
So all-in-all I'm feeling good and my efforts seemed to have paid off! YAY!
Paco's been super cute with his poses lately...he's now enjoying the pillow I use while sleeping on the sofa. Because Suzie was recuperating from surgery for about 3 weeks as well as my husband having his health issues I have been camping out on the sofa. Suzie and Riley thought this was pretty cool and apparently no longer likes to sleep in our bedroom. I'm still trying to figure this all out so I can return to our bed and SLEEP. They will NOT stay downstairs if I'm upstairs so there lies the problem. Maybe I will get them large dog beds for the floor and see if that helps. In other news...a few weekends ago we bought a new bed topper and it's been helping Dale's back so that is good but I don't really know what it feels like because I've been on the sofa...sigh...
