I have been miserably sick all weekend.
It's just a cold, but a seriously awful one. I can't do anything except melt onto the couch or my bed. It's awful because I sit on the couch watching the dust fall and making my house messy. Not to mention the dishes pile up because I don't want to clean up yet. Such a sad thing to watch.
Luckily, I have had Downton to keep me feeling better and support my extreme laziness.

That, and quite a few other shows on my Hulu queue that I needed to catch up with.
I also have a beautiful new cowl to keep me warm thanks to the wonderful and talented Angi. Go to her shop and buy one. Seriously, it's so warm and cozy!
| See? Very cute. Just ignore my wide-eyed face. |
I am feeling a little better today. Still have some infected sinuses and runny nostrils and coughs, but I think I'll be quite a bit better. Especially if I can get some decent sleep. Why is it SO hard to get sleep when you're so sick? It's all I want to do, but it takes so long for me to get to sleep because I have to keep blowing my nose!
I'm very grateful that we got our juicer before I got sick, though. I think it's what will keep me alive during and after this.
Yesterday alone I drank two cups of pure orange juice. Of course mixed with other veggies to be even healthier.
For one glass all you need is two large oranges, a couple of carrots, and a small handful of kale and you have a super healthy - and tasty! - drink.
The day before I think I also drank two of the same thing. I'd recommend a juicer to anyone who has access to lots of fruits and veggies! You can even make some juices from a blender, too. Here's a great tutorial.
Now, I'm off to shower my nastiness away and be sick some more. In fact...

Oh I'm sorry you've been so sick!! I *hate* that kind of cold, where you literally can't do ANYTHING but lay there and pray for death...or to feel better I guess. ;) I hope you are better SOON!
ReplyDeleteI want a juicer so bad...it's just that I know I'd never use it because produce in Alaska is SOOOOOOOOOO expensive!!
And I'm so glad you like the cowl - it's seriously SO cute on you!!!! I keep meaning to e-mail you and ask how it worked out...I guess I don't need to now! ;)
I hope you start to feel better! I have a juicer in my garage. I use it quite a bit in the summer. I have never added kale or spinach to my juice. I hear it doesn't really change the flavor, just adds a ton of nutrients.
ReplyDeleteUgh, lame. I always seem to get sick over my days off. Which I guess it's nice to not be sick at work. But then you feel like you had no time off.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel 100% better soon!
