Whatever you have, it's being enhanced by the hay raking -- dust, seed, grass, allergies -- and I suspect it's got your sinuses in an inflamed condition. A mask while raking "might" help. So, a cold(?) plus sinusitis....headache for sure. Take cold & sinus meds, a HOT shower & go to bed!! Get some rest

Remember in the old days Moms put our heads over a simmer pot of water, with a towel over our heads? Maybe add some Vicks Vapor Rub in the water.

Friday afternoon... I feel like crap... everytime I cough I hold my head because it hurts to cough... head is somewhat congested... runny nose... I have zero energy and strength...

DS called and needed a ride from his green barn to get his other truck. He was loading hay off a wagon at his barn, onto the truck and flat bed trailer, as he has to make a delivery in the next day or 2... he will add hay that he sq baled across the road.
Then he had an appt and asked me to meet a person that was going to get some of the hay across the road... I said I would, since they had never been to this field before... but I explained to her that with the cold I had, I could not help load the hay in her horse trailer... I have NO energy... she said that was fine...they usually come get the hay, DS doesn't deliver it to them... Then DS showed up after he got done with the appt and I left to go check the cows... Betsy is getting closer to calving... but nothing at 1 or so today. Hope she holds off a couple days since I have next to no energy to deal with getting her in and then going and getting another calf somewhere...

DS had to go to the local county fair, and "judge" the poultry showmanship stuff... so the afternoon was pretty much shot... I came home and have been doing basically nothing... headache and naturally the backache...
I am going to go out and get the laundry in, forgot about it after I put it out and have been doing some hay raking and the dr appts this week and all that. Figure that I could at least get it in the house.

I need to take more water out to the birds... only had 1 bucket the other day... the 2 waterers use 8 gal to fill them, between them....... so can add more... filled the feeders, they will need more maybe tomorrow...
The black langshan bantam hen is laying again after moulting.... lost one of the buff leghorn hens but she was the old one.. not terribly surprised by that...

Going to see if I can manage the laundry for now.

Give yourself some self care. Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry you are feeling so bad. You might have Covid. It’s still around and probably never going away. Add that to the seasonal flu misery.

Hope you're feeling better soon.
Sounds so like the crud I had last month(?). The only thing that kicked it was coricidin and ivermectin.
