Finally, finally, FINALLY getting better. I think. Not there yet, and I probably shouldn't say anything, but getting there

Dude, you have a lot going on. *nod* Don't fast when you're sick! Maybe modify fast? Drink lots of broth and fluids?

Um. I was feeling like a total failure because I wasn't even doing anything and couldn't deal. I think I am supposed to be able to cook gourmet meals, bake pies, sew dresses, and learn 5 languages, even if I am sick. Yeah. Actually I cooked quite a bit, considering.

And don't worry--in this context, "fasting" basically means a vegan diet. It's kind of like Lent, except we (Eastern Orthodox) have one before Christmas too. Except, I don't think it's gonna happen right now, at least not entirely.

*hugs*

Also, let us know when you want to come by / have us stop by. (:

I hope the move goes slowly, and that your plate clears.

I'll keep your advice in mind if I think about planning to be sick for weeks on end :)

Maybe miso soup? Lentils? Vegetable soup with oodles and oodles of garlic? Tomato soup with soy milk? I don't know. Speaking as someone who doesn't fast for Advent, I don't really know, but those are the few potential sick-person soups that I can remember. Good luck (and, anyway, I don't know that God would mind chicken broth).

Anyway, get better soon. :-)

I think there are lots of options, really. So far, I am sort of trying to fast but not really. Though I'm not quite sick enough for only eating chicken soup--if I were that sick, I'd be eating it. I'm kind of feeling better, but still dragging and tired, and today, apparently, headachey.

I have never figured out how to actually make miso soup. I should do that. I had some miso paste for awhile but maybe it wasn't right, because it never tasted like the miso you get in restaurants or whatever.

I think I used Kittel for Hebrew grammar. And her book was actually quite good.

The Fast does not (need to) apply to those who are sick. It is not about destroying your body. It is about exercising your spirit.

Addendum: That last paragraph should be taken with a grain of salt. It is certainly NOT in my scope to give priestly advice.

[lizziebennet]

I should look into that.

Eh. I am probably not sick enough that the fast wouldn't apply to me. But I think I'm still sick enough I don't care. Whatever, I'm sort of trying!

[jeffholton]

I'm sort of impressed. :)
