am I still sick?
Friday, January 19, 2007
I think......shhh..... I think I might be getting over the sinus crap....(tee-hee),. I actually don't have any aching teeth at today and I haven't felt as congested as before.
My tummy is still feeling a little icky but I am trying to eat crackers, soup or juice in small amounts. I sure hope it is true. Feeling punky for several weeks is no fun, No Sir, No Mam', No How!
I am still having trouble sleeping but I am not coughing quite as much when I lie down. My body aches come and go and my eyes are not hot and dry ALL the time now. I have 11 more of 20 pills to take so I guess I am getting over the illness but definitely need to complete the treatment to be sure.

A few months ago, I blogged about a place called Dream Dinners. You go to the store and prepare the ingredients for a meal. Dream Dinners supplies all the herbs, spices, meat, veggies, and plastic bags for the entire meal, including the recipe. You select the meals you want to prepare in advance and then go, taking your cooler, and prepare 6 meals or more at a time for a fee.
Dream Dinners sent me an e-mail with an offer of 2 free meals (serving 6 people per meal) if I would purchase 6 more meals. So I had signed up and intended to go last Friday. Because I felt so sick, I called and they were kind enough to reschedule my session to tonight at 5PM. My son is going to meet me there and help me do the meals. I will give him some of the meals because my husband and I can't eat all of them and 6 servings per meal is easy to divide.
Dream Dinners also allows you to divide the meals there and put all the supplies in separate containers. It is a great way to get some good meals, prepare them in advance (except for the cooking) and not have to do the preparation such as buying herbs you don't use often, cutting up everything or do any clean-up. They even give you a nice apron to wear and gloves.
****Here are some great puns...
THE ABILITY TO MAKE AND UNDERSTAND PUNS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT..."
Here are the 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest:
1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons The
stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion
allowed per passenger."
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and
says "Dam!"
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in
the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't
have your kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The
other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root
canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing
in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about
an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said," I
can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes
to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of
himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her
husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband
responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
8. A group of friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they
opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to
buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought
the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but
they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close They
ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest
and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat
up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they
didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh
can prevent florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time,
which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. ! He also
ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he
suffered from bad breath. This made him ....( Oh man....this is so bad, it's good...) a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to
friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them
laugh. No pun in ten did.
