We did make a trip to the store for some over-the-counter medicines over the weekend. I actually had just cleaned out my medicine bin and discarded quite a bit of expired medication - and consequently had not replaced some things. I need to remember to rotate and replace those medications more regularly so as to not be caught without them.
I was also diagnosed with pneumonia three weeks ago and it's taken quite a while to bounce back. I was quarantined for about a week. For treating the pneumonia, I was glad to have a working humidifier as well as bleach and vinegar to clean it with.
I needed to wear a mask in order to protect others around me while I was contagious. I discovered that I'm not a fan of the more-firm n-95 masks that I stored. They were quite uncomfortable and not very adaptable. I ended up choosing to use the surgical-style masks that I was given at the doctor's offices. So, I'll be looking to add some of those to our storage once I'm fully recovered.
Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you've avoided all the sickness that seems to be circulating.

I'm sorry to hear about your illness. Last year, I was constantly sick with flus and viruses even though I ate right and took my multi vitamin everyday. I finally did some research and found that I wasn't getting enough Vitamin D. I have been taking Vitamin D for the last four months, and have only gotten a few slight colds. It really works. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
By the way, here is an article on Vitamin D:
