I've been sick the last couple days... down with a kind of cold and just ol' sore-throat-pain-and-yuckiness. Trying not to splutter all over the keyboard. EW.
But hopefully I'm getting there. Being in bed or on the couch all day is no fun. It sounds fun but when you actually have to do it it is not.
What are you like when you are sick?
I'm:
- paranoid that suddenly everything is super dirty and needs a clean. I think I imagine germs multiplying as I'm sleeping and breathing on it. NEED TO NEED TO: Change the sheets (done), ask the husband if he can vacuum (haha), wash the dog, wipe the whole house down, etc.
- hungry for everything but not really. I think cos' your senses get dulled you just want to taste tasty things, but then when you eat it it isn't actually that great cos' you're not feeling great enough to enjoy it? I may be one of those people who miraculously gains weight while sick.
- wanting chicken soup. So I made some in the crock pot for myself (and the husband). Love the crock pot cos' it is so 'self-cooking'.
- too uncomfortable to be in one position for too long. Sleeping isn't fun, sitting isn't fun, standing isn't fun, TV is boring. Oh I'm such a joy to be around. Thankfully it has just been Sammy and I.
- consuming a lot of honey and lemon.
- wondering if coughing so much can give you good abs?
- not sure how I would do this if I had a baby. I guess you just do what you gotta do. Or ring grandma.
- getting a bit concerned about how the world is managing to survive without me! Haha.
But no seriously, being stuck at home recovering from something always makes me realise how much I need to trust God for my sense of worth, not the things I do or achieve.
- doing an announcement-thingy-about-IF/LOSS stuff tomorrow at church so hoping that I don't sound too much like I've been travelling in the desert looking for water and chain-smoking at the same time. Sigh. Timing can be funny... I'm sure it'll be ok.
Haha... Not a terribly exciting post for today. Hope you have a good weekend ahead guys!

Hey, GOOD LUCK tomorrow! SORRY to hear about this. Hope you get plenty of rest and just don't think too much about anything else. Get well SOON!!!
How am I like when I'm sick? I tend to sleep A LOT. I'm not a really good housekeeper 'coz I don't think about doing any housework hi hi...and I wish I could just eat my Mom's homemade meals while I'm sick instead of having to prepare something for myself. And I just want to sleep, sleep, and sleep more he he...---> I'm a sleepyhead! :-D
