kiss off, sickness

UGH. My week did not get off to a great start. I woke up with that feeling of enormous pressure in your head and under your eyes, congestion, a headache, heck – even my TEETH hurt. Even sleeping in and taking a hot shower didn’t help. My normal self would surrender to the illness, whine, ask for tea, and whine some more. But my three-days-away-from-my-first-trip-to-Hawaii self? I got my butt in the kitchen, choked down some apple cider vinegar (twice!! ew!), ate four vitamin C and two zinc, ate green things, and spent the rest of the day resting.  Things got worse before they got better – I really felt like hell – but they did get better. And now? I feel 100%. But just to be safe, I’ve sworn off all dairy, sugar, and alcohol until we are on vacation. Instead, I choose tea.

So hallelujah for miracle healing by miracle foods like apple cider vinegar, no matter how revolting it may taste.

Also, I thought I’d post a few links to some old posts of mine. I am so often of the mindset that I don’t update my blog often enough, that I sometimes forget how much great stuff I’ve already had the pleasure of sharing here, all of which is buried in the archives. Here are just a few (random) that are worth revisiting, if you haven’t seen them yet:

• moments: a celebration of life

• how are you going to spend your life?

• you can’t put God in a can

• the best piece of art i’ve ever seen

• what the heck do i look like?

I loved that last post. I want to do that all the time. Unfortunately my current computer only has 24 photo booth photos on it and you can bet your bottom dollar 90% of them are my cats. But here’s one of me giving myself a … hug? What exactly goes through our heads as we take photos of ourselves? Fascinating.

Oh wow, just noticed something. Let’s all take a moment to revel in the fact that I just posted a photo of myself in which I am posing in front of another photo of myself.  Xoxo
