Good morning, #BSDCafe
Good morning, #illumosCafe
Good morning, #FediverseI posted a few things over the past days, and some people noticed that I have been more absent than usual. I think it is right to give an update on the situation.
Starting in mid-December, my wife came down with the flu. Nothing serious, but it left her with a problem that all the doctors we consulted have identified as long flu. Similar to long COVID, it is a debilitating condition, at times completely disabling. She started a treatment, but had some issues and had to change it. This treatment, however, makes the symptoms worse for a few weeks before improving them, and the result is that we are currently in that phase: she is not well, she is worried, and of course I am too.
This has given me time, over the past weeks, to focus on projects like MastoBlaster, also to keep my mind active on something different, something good for my spirit and mental well-being.
But in these days, probably the hardest in years, I am in "emergencies only" mode, or almost. No tiramisu, few outings, some good lasagna - but mostly concern and hope for a return to normality. The doctors told her that in her case it is a temporary condition, but it is not clear exactly how long it will last, which is why there is a treatment, to help her live normally while everything gradually returns to normal. In the meantime, I am the solid part, but clearly I also have to take care of everything she usually handles.
Life is more often uphill than downhill, so we need to make the most of the good moments and not focus on trivial things. This is why I have always tried to make this place a positive and peaceful one: we all have battles to fight, serious or less serious problems, happiness and despair. Here, at least, we can focus on what you enjoy.
So I leave you with two coffees, made with my mother’s moka pot, which remind me of a peaceful day in this period when the sky outside and the climate inside are the same color: gray.
@stefano I really hope she will feel better soon. Lots of strength to you both.

@stefano Seeding 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻 over Ferrara from a ✈️. Take care & we are here for good & less good moments, sat at tables in the cafe where everyone has things to share. At the end, everybody will get a good smile. Maybe the liquor in the coffee cup will be related to this, (but I am not sure the bsdcafé has a license to distribute alcohol, does it? Well, an hidden bottle will do the trick)

@Tionisla @stefano While I won’t advocate today a too-frequent exposure to alcohol, my grandparents, and old people all around when I was young, used to pour some calvados (apple alcohol) in their coffee. Men, women equal. I’m not sure it made their (hard) life better (maybe shorter actually), but it was common practice. Nowadays, this is not as frequent in my beloved countryside, probably for good reasons… yet we still have for big lunches (weddings…) the “trou normand” which basically is a break during the lunch, where a shot of calvados(with or without apple sorbet) is served and then you go on with the other meal.. I wonder if there is some knowledge of this outside Normandy itself.

@stefano best wishes to her and you! I went through something similar, from early January to mid February, and it was exhausting. I functioned for work (mostly), but otherwise slept every single free minute while going through various flu-like pains up and down the body. It's mostly over now, but it was not fun!
Keep going, together; you've got this! 🤞

@tfb thanks!

@ajlewis2 thank you, Anita.

@dch thank you! I really appreciate it.

@slothrop thanks

@stefano My heart goes out to both of you, and I hope your wife gets back to normal before too long.
The flu this year was a nasty one, a doctor friend said she's seen a lot of 2 month-long cases.
Good coffee never hurts
