Two candles for you tonight. You sound as if you need more help rather than less, for not ringing quarter. Isn't it sad how the thing we dreaded the day before is often what we would rather be doing on the day? I try to take the opposite view of life most of the time, but there are days when not only is the glass not half full, but it seems to have a hole in the bottom and be draining your life's blood along with its own contents

So on a positive note * while I sniff my way through the closing up of my computer ** here is a cartoon pertinent to the whole book conversation that's been going on in this blog. I thought it might wring out a smile: http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/images/uploads/frazz20080323.jpg yeah, I know somewhere or other mention was made of mini-urls but as I didn't apply it at the time, it went over my head or perhaps through it *** so I don't remember how - Sue me****.

*I try to end my days on a positive note so that I feel even vaguely like getting up the next morning
** and prepare to boil up a pan of water and add rosemary to put in my roon overnight to help me breathe.
*** like any number of things do, whether or not I am paying attention.
**** and i'd rather be sued than called Sue any day (not that I have a problem with the name for other people, but I am so not a Sue).

*********** Yep, me too. And what I say is, that's what copy-and-paste was made for. :)
I couldn't agree more. This evening I am quitting early. I know it is time to quit when it takes me longer than five minutes to do a sentence because my eyes keep closing and my head nods off. Amazing how it all improves when not working sometimes...
Still stuffed to the gills (yup, I'm tired, I almost wrote stiff stulled to the giffs), I am trying one of my aromatherapist's remedies, 20 mls of almond oil with 2-3 drops of lavender, eucalyptus oil and 6-7 drops of benzoin. Can't say as I have seen any difference. I do a bunch of remedies but the colds and flus all seem to last however long they were going to anyways. I still persevere. Eucalyptus burning, propolis tincture and anything else I can think of.

(*wince*) Sounds like you need someone with some chicken stock to make you some nice chicken soup. (I'd offer, but I don't cook. I do, however, know that adding whole allspice to the recipe makes it come out deliciously sweet with a unique flavor, and making sure all residual salt is out of the chicken before cooking also enhances the flavor. Don't EAT the whole allspice -- remove it from the soup after it has finished cooking.)
Wow. I never in my remotest dreams thought that *I* would have ANYTHING to contribute to a cooking thread here. In a perverse way, your despair has inspired me. I hope things are looking better soon.
