Dear Husband is down with a cold. I'm not surprised. He's shaken hands and been hugged and kissed by hundreds of people in the past couple of weeks, so he was bound to catch something. Our little granddaughter has a cold, so he might have even caught it from her.
They've recently announced that cough syrups are not efficacious, but antihistamines are. It's a measure of how he feels that he was willing to take aspirin and an antihistamine last night as he went to bed. This man does not do drugs!
He was in bed for easily twelve hours last night, and is resting now, so you can tell he needs to recharge. When he's ill, he just wants you to leave him alone. He doesn't want his pillow fluffed, or to be drowned in cups of tea. Just Leave Me ALONE!!! is his motto.
Other than tempting him to eat occasionally, I think we'll give him the quiet he needs. Soups and chili are on the menu for the next few days....just simple stuff. Even I could use some quiet time.
So, no visitors at our house for a bit. We'll resurface when DH feels better.

Your Dear Husband and I are alike in how we wish to be treated when ill. I smile to myself when it occurs to me that I could probably lie for a few days before Hunky Husband's nose informed him that it was time to call our friend the mortician!

Seems like it's time to make a little change at your household. HH, check on her once a day from now on. CC....raise your hand and repeat after me..."I promise not to snarl at anyone making the daily check when I am under the weather."
I'll be happy to have HH take the same pledge. *S*
