self help

Here is the test how you know when you are sick. . .

Groaning on the couch . . .

watching the Today show. . .

but pressing mute and turning face to the back of the couch. .

to avoid the food segment.

That was Monday.

Tuesday morning. . .

I opened up my notebook computer. . .

from the couch. .

a good sign. . .

I still feel some degree of responsibility to you my loyal readers.

By Tuesday afternoon. .

I noted that I was a bit thirsty . . .

for an iced coffee. . .

my beloved . . .

arranged for that.. . .

and I slowly . . .and tentatively sipped it. .

while looking through my new favorite foodie magazine.

The food did not look disgusting. . .

I didn't want to cook it mind you. .

but . . .it looked like something I might want to try another day.

Then. . .

around dinner time. . .

Terrence called and told me not to be offended. . .

but the lil' farm hand and his entourage. .

were staying clear until .. .

enough time had passed to deem us clear of flu. . .

Perhaps. . . if I begin to cook again. .

they'll come by.

We'll see who can last the longest. . .

In the meantime. . .I have my disinfectant wipes. . .

All for now. . .
