The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

[jaunthie]

The Good:

• I had a nice breakfast with my Mom, my Dad, fisherbear, and my sister on Saturday morning.


• I had a lovely massage late Saturday morning with the incomparable Shelagh.


• I got a lot of holiday shopping done.


• I vacuumed and tidied the upstairs.


• I got all the holiday stuff out from under the stairs.


• I hung the outdoor lights.


• fisherbear and I supported the local tree farm and bought a Christmas tree.


• I decorated said tree, the living room, and the front door with appropriate seasonal decorations.


• I made some kick-ass turkey burrito mix (said mix had kale and swiss chard in it, not standard to burritos, but oh so good) and we had a very tasty Sunday dinner.


• fisherbear produced a treat for dessert - a teensy bit of mint chip ice cream. Yum!


• fisherbear did several loads of laundry, unloaded the dishwasher, reloaded the dishwasher, and tidied the kitchen.

The Bad:

• I woke up with a splitting headache on Saturday morning, and felt achy and lethargic and out of sorts.


• Sinus drugs and coffee helped, but I still felt like crap.


• By Saturday night, it was obvious I was running a temperature. Gee, temperature, sore, achy, congested - why hello there, influenza!

The Ugly:

• My mood when I get sick. I don't have TIME for getting sick. Therefore I won't get sick. And if I am sick, I am still going to get things done, because I don't have TIME for sitting around not doing anything.


• The fact that I don't have TIME (or the temperment) to just sit around and let myself be sick.


• The fact that I still feel like crap today. I'm better than I was, but still, I don't feel well. And that sucks. I don't have TIME for this!

Say it SISTAH!

No point in being sick, no time to be sick, therefore not gonna be sick, I'll do shit anyway!

Bad way to get better, but very typical for us Type A personalities.

Amen! :-)

(I'd do the James Brown boogie or the Belushi flip, except that I can't do either even when I'm well.)

Sorry you and fishbear are dealing with the nasty wasty buggie. :( Get well soon!! See you SUNDAY!!

Sorry you're feeling crappy. If you tell me what you need for Sunday that you trust me to go get, I will go get it. I'm even going to try to bake a simple gingerbread house so we'll have an extra. Wish me luck.

Well, I've already got one, and I was planning on baking another, but if you want to do it instead, hey, go for it. You can borrow my cast-iron gingerbread-house mold, if you like. :-)

Thanks, but I'll just use the cardboard pattern I cut out. V. simple. Maybe I'll use cookie cutters to make windows before baking. We'll see. Off to find a recipe to which I have all the ingredients. ::crossing fingers::
