It may take time to recover from pneumonia. Some people feel better and are able to return to their normal routines within a week. For other people, it can take a month or more. Most people continue to feel tired for about a month. Adequate rest is important to maintain progress toward full recovery and to avoid relapse. Don't rush your recovery! Talk with your doctor about when you can go back to your normal routine.

Thanks, guys. It doesn't help that we're supposed to have our big Father's Day gathering next Sunday and my house is a complete disaster, I have no menu plan yet, etc.

sj, somebody else can handle it. If you have to serve food, could tcg pick up a bunch of sandwich fixings and appropriate sides (cole slaw, potato salad) for a make-your-own-sandwiches buffet? I had an aunt and uncle that used that as their go-to for feeding groups, and I for one always enjoyed it. (Note: My uncle was a butcher, so he knew where to get good cold meats.)

Yeah, pneumonia is famously exhausting.

I tried to file our delayed baggage claim with the airline, and the website ate it.

Edit: Oh, thank god, it did go through. There was just no confirmation until they sent the email twenty minutes later.

I think everything is in retrograde in your horoscope, Dana.

My lunch is in retrograde. I decided this morning that I wanted falafel for lunch and tried to get some delivered but the restaurant canceled my order. So then I was starving and unable to decide what to eat for a while. Finally picked a replacement, ordered it, around the time it's supposed to be delivered I get a text from the delivery person asking if the restaurant is next to the smoke shop (I don't think it is, but I don't actually know) but a few minutes later he texts again to say he found it. Hooray! But the restaurant apparently told him it would be 10 more minutes before my food is ready.

It's just about been that 10 minutes so I'm really hoping my food will be on it's way soon...

Yes! I have food! Rejoice!

Yay food!

I am reminded again to be glad I work for an enormous behemoth -- I have a staff issue to deal with, and had talked to my boss about it, but wanted a second opinion, so I just had a 15-minute meeting with our HR person, who was really helpful! I think people don't like her, but I think she's great.

Timelies all!

Speaking of children, Gary and Mr. S are getting back from Florida today. Mr. S is a challenging child frequently, and we try our best with him. I still need to work on not letting every little thing bug me.

Things I don't have this morning: Fever.

Things I do have this morning: An appetite.

So far, so good.

If you've also got power, water, and your luggage you are doing quite well!

ltc is so stubborn.

Apparently I said "I want to do it myself!" enough when I was that age that my mother still quotes it back to me. The upside? That independent streak is a bonus later on.

Is there someplace you can order from so you don't wear yourself out preparing food?
