me and yogi tea
I turned down three invites out tonight in favor of alphabet soup and a smoothie. I am fighting a cold. I was an only child who was fawned over when sick, so as an adult I am no stoic about illness. You can see it right here in this paragraph: the smallest sniffle and every sentence is Me Me Me.
I know I shouldn’t complain because what is lurking in my fevery sleep is a cold at worst, whereas in the last two months I have had friends endure knee surgery, ankle surgery, a tonsillectomy, a throat infection, and a shot somewhere really awful. Whereas I made it through the past year with one humorous if briefly terrifying trip to the emergency room. That’s pretty good given my bad judgment and lack of health insurance.
When I feel sick I want someone to stroke my hair and bring me Gatorade. No one seems to be waiting in line for this job of late, so tonight I found solace in a steamy shower and a copper kettle and a new Kasey Chambers cd. It’ll do.
Goodnight, big bloggy world. Stay well.

Found your blog through mysterydater, a friend of mine, and i'm glad i did. You've got good style. And I can't thank you enough for the Kasey Chambers recommendation. I just bought her album online and I'm loving it.
keep the awesome alive chica,

:( I would bring you gatorade if it weren't a 2 hour drive. Do peanuts help as much as gatorade? perhaps I could shell a few for you. :)
hey Jenn, if you need more Yogi tea, let me know...I am fairly certain I can hook you up:) Hope you're up and dancing soon!

humble bee! you're using me as an excuse to throw shells on the floor, and i know it.
ephraim! you just made my morning. thanks for stopping by.
Oh man, I hear ya. I ate a bad burger on Monday night and it's still completely kickin my ass. But I can share my never-ever-fails cold-beating advice: minestrone with lots of veggies and Curious George on OPB.
frozen blueberries and snuggly blankets with the yogi tea is my recommendation...
As we say in my family...poopy! Hope you are feeling better, I would totally pamper you if I were closer, I owe you friend.
Did I mention how amazing you are? You are...amazing! Thanks for all of your love, support, and booty shaking!

ok, i am now officially getting way too much sympathy for this piddly little cold. i slept twelve hours last night (accidentally standing up the chief), had the recommended frozen blueberries (in a smoothie) and minestrone, and am feeling much better. thanks all for the elove!
