Yesterday’s throat is today’s sinuses
Shit. I just *knew* this bug was gonna shift on up outta my throat into my head. That’s always how mine go. Bastards. Good news is the throat is no longer on fire. Bad news is that my head shall be exploding from the sinus pressure any.minute.now.
More good news is that I am stocked up on ice cream and mango sorbet for future smoothies and cool things to drink and eat.
More bad news is that I am on day 3 of missing work. I am thinking I’ll be out of sick days very soon.
Oh. Don’t forget to enter my Maple Peanut Butter Giveaway! I announce the winner on Thursday.
Tuesday eats. You already saw my Breks smoothie. Between Breks and Lunch all I did was mess around on the internet and lay in the recliner. I think I may have thrown those dirty dog sheets into the laundry. Poor Hillary. She loved them so. She had to find something else to lay on.
Lunch was mushroom barley soup (homemade and great) + a not-so-girnorm salad drizzled with the last of my ff green goddess yogurt dressing. I’ll have to whip up something new to try on my next batch of salads. Oh, and I don’t know that I’ve ever actually eaten barley before, but it is wonderful in soup. Chunky and chewy. Great sick food.
- mushroom barley soup
- spinach + romaine + cuke + carrot + maters + chunks of Organic Valley cheddar + hard boiled Organic Valley egg + 5 fire roasted Dr. Krackers + peanuts + pepper + remnants of the ff green goddess yogurt dressing
- water
Between Lunch and Din I had another smoothie.
- pb + chocolate soy milk + ice + ff yogurt
This was cold, but only meh tasting.
I further layed in the recliner, layed on the couch, took a nap on the couch, took Hillary out for her evening walk, got sorbet and fruit at the grocery store (and oreos!) which is ok cuz it’s literally 30 secs from my house. But when I got home I was exhausted and feeling feverish. Took my temp and yep, had a fever
. Here’s to hoping its leaving my body soon.
Din was comfort food inspired by my friend Allison’s sick comfort food suggestion.
- Annie’s whole wheat shells and cheese
- steamed green peas
- a real Coke with ice (1st one in YEARS)
- camera shy small dish of coffee ice cream
- 5 oreos (I know this is junk food and I don’t care)
Apparently I discovered that sugar is my comfort food this evening. Holy sugar shock batman. Where did THIS come from? I am normally such a salt lovah. My body is whacked out right now.
I hope y’all are healthy!
Happy Humpday.

Ashley says:I hope you feel better soon hun! I was siiiccckkk last month and yeah, it’s worst. But it will pass and it will help you appreciate all the days you are healthy!
I’m generally big on sugar rather than the salty stuff… So the 5 oreos sound totally normal to me

Graze With Me says:Hope you feel better soon, I hate being sick when the weather is nice. In the winter I’d rather be sick than out driving in the snow though.
I get the same symptoms too - starts in throat, climbs up into head/sinuses. I agree. Bastards.
The choc/pb smoothie sounds really good though….

Jenny says:It’s too bad we’re not closer in proximity. I have some really great cranial treatments that work wonders on sinus pressure.
We picked up our first box of Annie’s mac’n cheese last night. I had never seen it before, so I’m excited to try it.

Sophia says:I’m def more of a salt lover, too. I’m wondering if maybe your body needs more energy? When I was not eating enough, I was always craving sugars. Since you’re unwell, perhaps it’s just your body needing a bit more to heal.
You have amazing pictures. May I know which camera you use?
