(1) I’ve lost quite a few emails; I don’t know how it happened, but I know that they’re gone. If you’ve written to me recently and didn’t receive a response, write to me again! (don’t worry, it won’t bother me!)
(2) I think I have flu; I can’t swear that there will be a blog post tomorrow. I will do my best, but right now it feels like I’ve swallowed broken glass, and that for some reason limits my creativity!
love,
Janice

Oh my goodness! Throat is the worst! Give me fever, give me nausea even, but don’t shred my throat. It’s the worst kind of torture. Hope you recover quickly. Take care of yourself!

Janice, you have probably done this already but if not take a covid test. A sore throat was pretty much my only symptoms and I was double vaxxed and boosted when I caught the virus.
Wendy says
That was my experience too. I thought I was coming down with a cold but it turned out to be C-19. It happened while I was travelling in Poland last fall.
SShaw says
Hope that you feel better soon. Take care of yourself.

Get tested ASPA, and rest, rest, rest, fluid, fluids, fluids.
Fisherman’s Friend Orignal Extra Strength cough drops helped the sore throat and cough.
Your symptoms were mine and it was COVID, inpsite of being vaxxed and boostered.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

You are not the only one with emails that have simply vanished. I discovered this over the weekend with another business and my sister has had problems too. Not sure what is causing the missing emails but it is not just one address/provider.
So….stop worrying about emails and get better
Cheryl says

Hello Janice,
I’ve had Strep throat twice and that’s exactly how it felt to swallow – like I had broken glass in my throat. Do take care and see the doctor if you don’t feel better tomorrow.
Take care,
Jill

Oh no, hope you feel well soon. Repeating the previous chimes…do get a Covid test if you haven’t yet.That being said there was a horrible cold going around awhile ago that started with the ‘shard’s of glass’ sore throat. It sent us off for Covid tests which were negative. I knew three people who had Covid at the time and barely had a symptom. We were down for ten days, so do take care. Hot ginger lemon and honey tea, a good book or two and a few good Netflix shows…
mimi says
Rest well. We surly will miss you. We can wait for your return. Take great care of yourself.
Biddy says
Poor you follow all the above suggestions and hopefully you will feel better soon and as someone else suggested we can enjoy the archives until you are up to posting again A quick thanks for what I have learnt from you. Just back from a six day trip to the U.K and managed to travel just with an under seat bag. Jeans, skirt and dress plus 2 cashmere jumpers and I wore a slightly different outfit each day. Would never have managed that without you!
Rex says
Just coming to the tail end of my first cold in 2 years here. I may have made myself work that first day, but once my Friday was over, it was in to bed and sleep all evening and weekend. Felt absolutely shattered on the monday.
Rest up and we’ll see you soon.
Wendy says
Sending you heartfelt wishes that your health is on the upswing.
Hugs!

Danielle says
I just discovered yesterday that for at least the past month all the emails that come through my website contact from were sent by Microsoft to a junk mail file that isn’t transmitted to Outlook. For anyone else that has a website on a server with email (mine’s on GoDaddy) you might want to drill into this.

Get well soon Janice ?
Amy says
I’m sorry you’re feeling so awful. Snuggle down in your moose jammies and get some much needed rest. You’ve provided us with years of fascinating heroines and amazing wardrobes to keep us busy, so don’t give a thought to TVF. Take care Dear Friend, I hope you feel better soon.
Susan says
Feel better soon!! We will be here when you feel better!
Margery says
Oh Janice! Hope this passes fast! ? and prayers for quick recovery.
Pam says
Feel Better!
Kari says
How awful! As a regular sore throat sufferer, I highly recomend alternating cold water or fresh lemonade with hot tea. Gargle with a weak peroxide and warm water solution…about a 1 to 3 or 1 to 2 parts mix usually works.
Helen Haig says
Your health comes first! Praying that you will get well soon!

Sandy b says
I was seriously beginning to worry. I am a worry wart, sorry. Please just heal. I don’t think I am alone when I say not to worry about posts. I don’t mean to sound overbearing.
Get well soon
lilbear says
I just checked in hoping to hear that you were feeling better and I was very glad to see this update! (Sandy isn’t the only one who worries.). Never forget that some of us are local & will jump to supply homemade chicken soup on request!
Lisa P says
Sending warm thoughts your way! Hope you feel better soon.
Cindy says
Great to hear you are on the mend! I get frequent sore throats that I can calm with hot tea, lemon, honey and a dash of bourbon. Some of these sore throats have sent me to the Covid drive-through. So far, always negative ?? Take much care!
Pat says
Get well. Enjoy your content
