It finally caught me. This week I've been chugging Airborne ,(I swear by this stuff) putting off the bug that has been chasing me. It started with really tired. Achy. Then I had a glob in my throat and a persistent throat-clearing little cough. Headache appeared yesterday. At lunch I was a bit nauseous. Awoke this morning with no voice, blazing headache and full body aches. It's noon now, and I'm doing ok...I know that Airborne has worked and that this will be shorter lived. I'm on the couch with a large cashmere scarf around my neck (thank you Colleen!), in my jams, under a blankie with my ever present bottle of grape Propel. (my favorite beverage in the universe) Boomer is thrilled to have a couch mate. I think he's purring. (yes, ecstatically happy dogs can purr) Frank is taking Emily back to college, a 3.5 hour drive, so he's gone for the day. And so...I'm on my own. Me and my laptop. (which, by the way, is deliciously warm on my lap!)
So...I went to the crock pot blog, and I'm going to make the sweet and sour soup. That recipe has a lot of comments. And today I found out that if I click on the commenting person's name, I can get to THEIR blog. And she has international readers...so that is very fun.
Yessiree...being sick ain't so bad at all. The couch is fine. A light snow is frosting my woods, the temperature is way up to 25 degrees (much warmer than the last few days), a full array of warm beverages (fresh coffee, various teas, sugar free cocoa packets) awaits me, and an afternoon of napping and surfing lie ahead. Mmmmmmm.
