Home Sick

Today I'm home convalescing instead of exposing people at church to the malaise going around at work. On the couch, in sweats, wanting to make a soothing, non-acidic soup to get past my right tonsil, yet wanting to stay on the couch. No talking today, which  can be tough for a female. Box of Kleenex and herbal tea and laptop and me. It's actually good to let yourself be sick once in a while, to slow down and appreciate breathing for the gift it is. Must make the soup, though. the bad thing about always cooking from scratch is that you always have to cook. The canned stuff just won't work after a while. I'll just scrub up and boil some potatoes with onions and garlic and herbs and add soup veggies. Back to the gardening tomorrow.
