Well, it's November. This always means two things for me. First, that I get to recover from Halloween and start planning my costume for next year. Yes, I am that insane. In fact, I already kind of know what I want to go as and I am trying to figure out how I'll remember it for the next 11 months. But I digress. Second, is that I get sick. In November, I always get sick.
It's typically bronchitis but it was no shock to me to come down with a massive sinus infection and laryngitis. I also suspect I have an ear infection. But I mean, MASSIVE, kids. What I am blowing out of my nose could be likened to science materials at NASA, I'm sure. And if that's too graphic, I probably shouldn't tell you what I am coughing up.
The problem here diet-wise, is that when I have a cold of any kind, I am a ravenous human being. You know that saying "starve a fever, feed a cold?" I feed. I FEED. I am not starving or even that hungry but I never feel full! It's bizarre. For breakfast, I had a bagel. With my fat free margarine, mind you, but it was a bagel. I had a Jenny pizza for lunch and then about mid-afternoon, I had my leftovers from last night's dinner. And for dinner, I had my Jenny turkey burger (one of my faves) and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. DELICIOUS soup, by the way. I am the only Jew in the world who doesn't like chicken noodle soup but when I am sick, it's like eating a pint of Ben & Jerry's when I'm depressed. It's fabulous stuff.
Elixr. Mmmmm....
Right now, I am watching TV, chugging water, and thinking about what I can eat next, people. Is that weird or what?
FYI- my laryngitis was so bad this morning that I couldn't make sound. Now, I can sort of make this puberty-sounding-whisper. I am wearing leggings and a huge nightshirt with a stain on it. I am so sexy - you have no idea.
