I've been out of commission for a week. (Sinus headache, congestion, sore throat, coughing, body ache, etc.) The likely source: my 5 month old who started daycare this month. She has also been suffering (drippy nose, coughing, high temperature, listlessness, ear infection, etc.) With her drippy nose, she has trouble breathing and has trouble sleeping. I've sat up many hours this week keeping her body upright with her head on my shoulder to help her sleep.
In my hazy stupor, I made myself a cream based canned soup for lunch one day. Big mistake. Add wretching for half a day to my list of symptoms. In my couch ridden downtime, the TV's been looping a lot of ESPN, Food Network, and History Channel this week. Watching the Food Network is a relatively new thing for me (if being bundled up on the couch with eyes closed massaging my pounding headache counts as watching.) TopChef was my gateway show into the cooking shows. When I'm feeling better and my stomach can handle it, I'm going to experiment with some chili recipes. I've never made homemade chili before.
