I don't have a whole lot to report right now. I've been in bed as much as 18 hours each of the last few days, because I don't cough when I'm horizontal. Soon as I'm up and about -- or Lord help me, trying to speak in more than two word phrases -- I'm back to intermittent hacking. I'm taking Mucinex DM and some regular cold medication and those are helping, but the road to recovery is just soooooo slow.
As far as food goes, we've been having a lot of potatoes and rice. We found out a way to make really good "cheeze" sauce with nutritional yeast, so we made a batch of potatoes au gratin with some veggies thrown in. It was good enough that even our roommate Joe had some. We're also major suckers for that maple-mustard glazed potato recipe that Letha posted in her blog. Other than that, just rice (beans are all used up now, I think), and bananas for snacks. All good stuff.
I just wanted to let everyone know I'm doing okay aside from the lingering cough. Jeanette is finally going to be out of training now, and therefore her only day off this week is tomorrow. After that she'll be off on Thursdays and Fridays. I'm going to do my utmost to make her one day off a good one, so I likely won't be posting here until Sunday. I haven't replied in too many journals, but I am reading them, just so y'all know that. Take care everyone, and have a great weekend!
I've been watching the gigantic primitive's chart (not duplicated here) for some weeks now, concerned if the line doesn't drop, it's going to hold up the gigantic primitive's job search.
It hasn't dropped for a while; it's been pretty straight since the end of July 2009.
Damn.
I really want him to get down to 400 some time the week between Christmas and New Year's, so that shortly after New Year's Day, he can put on a nice suit, dust off the resume, and pound the pavements looking for a job.
But with circa 40 pounds to go, that might not happen.
Damn.
Think of what a great Christmas present it wuuld've made for his wife, "Hey, honey, you can stop working so hard now--I got a job!"
