The silver lining

It took almost three days, but I had my first solid food last night...yeah for the simple, bland turkey sandwich! It felt so good and I'm feeling so much better...still have a little ways to go, but it's nice to feel like a human.

But there was the plus side to this sick...summed up best by the deliciously evil Emily in The Devil Wears Prada:

"I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight."

Interrupting regular programming

I hate being sickly...running with a flu right now...blech.

It's funny...when sick...I can't watch the Food Network...it makes me nauseous.

*cough*

Hello all, remember me...?? So last week started fine. Tuesday morning I developed a nasty cough and shortly after making the yummy hamantaschen I said "To be honest, I don't feel that great." Short while later I had a 100 degree fever and kept a fever between 100-102 throughout Wednesday. Thursday and Friday I was better, but certainly not good enough to do anything creative. Some simple turkey and rice on Thursday. Friday was some garlic/olive oil on pasta with some of the extra turkey. Saturday I had a bit of an appetite and we ventured out to the Virginia burbs to spend some time with the cutie Princess Anna and her parents. Sunday yet again, a little better. Still have the 'death rattle' cough, but over am pretty much operational. I allowed myself a relaxed recuperation! If I don't burn out today I have plans for something tasty for dinner and will share!

Hope you all had a great weekend.
