Haven’t told y’all this, but for the past few months I’ve been fighting a cold/ear infection that I can’t seem to shake. It goes away for a week, then comes back. This is despite me visiting doctors and taking antibiotics.
Traveling like an insane woman hasn’t helped. So starting today, I’m taking a week off to do nothing — no blogging, no running around town eating, and no cooking. Or rather, no intense cooking. Scrambling eggs is probably fine. With some sliced zucchini. But I’m not going to go on a crazy quest to create the perfect crunchy exterior on a square of grits, which is what I was doing a few days ago. (The result, if anyone cares: pan fry it for like 5 mins per side.)
Crayton will pick up some of the slack around here, and he’s already told me he has some great things to tell you about hand-dryers.
As far as the bug goes, I visited a lab this morning for a throat culture. Guessing that as soon as the docs pinpoint the bacteria, we’ll be able to nail it.
Hasta soon!

Nicely done, Lesley.
It’s almost believable. The hand dryers were the giveaway.
(Just in case, get well soon.)

DC: I *am* serious! Both about the hand-dryers and being sick. Thanks for the well-wishes… hoping that a week of doing nothing (pretty much the antithesis to my entire being) will do the trick.

I second Don Cuevas – pero tomate un poco de Fernet tambien, con eso se cura de todo
Lesley
Chennifer: My husband adores Fernet. I think it tastes too much like cough syrup. 🙂 I guess a little wouldn’t hurt, in the interest of curing myself…

Leslie,
I hope you are better soon. In the meantime, your husband is doing a good job of keeping us entertained until you return.

Hi Lesley,
I hope you feel better soon, and that the doctors get to the bottom of it so you’ll stop having the infections. Miss you.
((Hugs))
