i spent two days at home sick. the first day i slept all morning then sat on the couch crochetting. the second day i went into work but then left at 9:30. i spent that day also on the couch crochetting and watching the entire 3rd season of the office on dvd (it was the only thing left unpacked from our dvd collection). since our landlord's mother brings by potential new tenants on almost a daily basis (3 times yesterday), and because i'm married to a tidy man, i came up with the ingenious plan to keep a paper bag on the floor beside me to collect my used kleenexs. perhaps depositing dirty tissues into a trash bag isn't ingenious, but believe me it was a new revelation to sick-lesley.
my head still aches and i have moments of congestion that block my ability to breath, but on the whole i'm improving. even my sore and chapped nose is feeling better. on wednesday morning i tried rachel's trick of eating a clove of raw garlic. but it didn't work. maybe it was already too late at that point, i dunno.
i'm just about finished brendan's nana's blanket. i'm in the second final stage of crochetting it together (the last stage is sewing in all the extra bits). it's looking fantastic. brendan told me he kind of wished it was for him instead of nana. that said, it was really quite easy so i'm certain i have many more blankets in my future. some of the colours are a bit bold, and sometimes i wonder if nana will not like the bright colours. but then i think about how her eye sight is not good, which means that bright colours will be easier for her to enjoy. at least that's what i've heard before about people with poor vision.
each month b plans out our menu for our week-day dinners. tonight we're supposed be having grilled cheese sandwiches, but i kind of want to go our for indian food. curry would be good for my sinuses. i wonder if i'll be able to convince him to go to darbar for supper. as a teenager brendan was a dishwasher at curry original. i like hearing his stories about how his coworkers taught him to eat indian food properly. it's not very often that you hear someone say "that was back before i started eating with my hands".
