I decided yesterday when I still felt reasonably well that I would make a chili relleno casserole for breakfast, but that's out the window now. This honey and lemon mixture, plus lot of Listerine, will probably be the only thing on my menu today. My throat is on fire and feels like someone ran a steel brush through it.
Just to prove how bad my voice is, I asked my phone (I can do that ... ask it questions) how to spell chili relleno six times. Every time, it said "I didn't quite get that"!! Aaaarrrrggggg!!
The puppies and I spent all day yesterday snuggling on the couch. There will be a repeat of that today and probably tomorrow. I'm hoping and praying that will be the end of the worst part of being sick. Truthfully, I'm pretty sure I caught this at the Doctor's Office ten days ago. Sound about right??
Cooper the snuggle bug never lets his toys get far away when he's asleep. Jessie might steal one.
My big plans for a lunch of roast turkey and mac n cheese have also vanished into thin air, not that I really need to be cooking ... or doing anything around kitchen appliances!! I'm happy to report I can now make a fist ... the swelling has gone down considerably. If you need me, I'll be holding the couch down, making sure no one steals it ... kind of like Cooper!! Merry Christmas to one and all!!
So sorry your sick.
ReplyDeleteWe are snowed in and the plow broke,so we are snuggled in also.
Take care.
Merry Christmas.
Yikes!! I hope you are able to get out before too long!! What a nice way to spend Christmas though!!
DeleteFeel better quick! As "On The Highway" said, we are snowed in in Idaho....even the snow blower struggled.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, feel better!

Gosh ... everyone is snowed in!! I should count my lucky stars I don't have to shovel show too!!
DeleteI hope you get better soon and have a great Holiday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray for the nice thoughts. I'm certainly going to try!!
DeleteSorry to hear about your illness and ten days incubation time sounds about right. Might consider booking your doctors visits in the summer when nobody else is sick and spreading their misfortune. Liquid Honey is a known cleanser of germs in the body plus it helps to coat the throat which is being aggravated by the sinus drainage and it tastes great so that makes it a Win-Win for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your pets won't mind the snuggle time just as long as you don't share what you have with them.
Kathy and I truly want to wish you a Merry Christmas and maybe you'll get Sam Elliott next year.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I never thought of booking appointments earlier in the year to steer clear of the winter cold season. A VERY good idea Rick!! I'm not usually a honey eater, but it sure has helped my throat!!
DeleteThank you for the Christmas wishes! I don't hold out much hope for Sam however .... he's been on my Christmas list for 20 years!! LOL
I finally figured out I am allergic to poinsettias and live evergreen trees. When those went away so did my annual cold. I hope your solution is as easy as that.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting Linda. I'm not sure what it is, but I seem to get sick every single Christmas. Maybe because I go shopping much more? Next year I'm staying home!!
