My Cold Gets Me:(

I hate being sick! Or anything less than 90%. Before lunch I walked down the hill to the pharmacy and got Benedryl for my cough, lozenges for the tickle that keeps me awake at night and Europes answer to Tylenol, Panadol for overall body aches. I'm still taking all my regular vitamins and my homeopathic remedy to fight whatever this years flu is about. At this stage I don't care if it's natural or chemical, I just want to get better. I don't want to miss any days. On my way back I walked along promenade until the big staircase that climbs from the Bay to just outside our apartment. I said I wanted to climb it at least once to know how many stairs there were. People use it as part of their walking or running exercise routine. One hundred and two stairs. Today it just about killed me.

I don't use our elevator going down which is 32 stairs and I will climb up if I don't have groceries. So today I went up 102 and down 96. We are working hard to get in better shape. Malta is a wonderful country for walking. I read an article about a Maltese nurse that was walking from tower to tower to raise money for the Hospice Centre where she worked. It was 70km and took her 4 days. It still amazes me how tiny is this Island country.

After lunch we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful sunny day so went down to the lower road and sat in the sun. It felt so good. Tomorrow I'm going to be better!!!
