View Full Version : Just a teeny tiny whine about not much

It seems I've got whatever stomach bug the little one is in bed with (discovered only after her throwing up outside the church where we have our co-op - 45 minutes away!). We left dd13 there to go to her classes, then turned around and came right back home. Dh is picking her up, the little one is in bed, and I feel like I'm going to be sick, too.

It's freezing here, we had a few snow flurries that didn't stick, and everyone in the city will be in a complete panic and swarming the grocery stores.

Do I *hafta* go to the grocery store? Can't I just go to bed instead, and we'll have...umm, what for dinner? I've been trying to make healthier meals, but now I'm foiled again. It's probably pointless to think of cooking tonight, anyway.

I've got some turkey broth frozen from Thanksgiving :eek:. I'm guessing that would be no good for some soup now, or would it still be okay? Or we could just have Campbell's, but that would be admitting defeat. ::Sigh::

Cooking "healthy" in this situation means cooking whatever will allow you to take care of yourself.

Campbell's fits. Heck, use it now to get it out of your house! That's the ticket!

Feel better soon.

Go to bed. Campbell's won't hurt anyone for one night. Hope it's a short-lived bug.

second Amy - go to bed! Get better. Pretend you've already been snowed in and you're having to subsist on what's in your cupboards. There's always tomorrow or the next day to get back on track.

Hope you feel better.

THanks well-wishers. Just for being so nice I won't describe this illness to you in gruesome detail.

I made some roast garlic and carrots to go with the soup, so my conscience is at ease. And I slept for 3 hours, so I may be here awhile!
