Thanks for the Get Well Soons

It's not that I'm ignoring that wish, it's just that I apparently have picked up the mother-bug and I'm worser and worser! I **think** the fever broke last night because I had to change jammies in the middle of the night. I managed yesterday to haul my sorry self to Whole Foods and spend $29 (think I set a new record for getting in and out of there and even visited the bathroom for a sneezing fit! Nobody likes people sneezing on the produce...) on stuff for chicken soup and even managed some matzoh balls because we all know that's the real magic ingredient. I ate one little bowl and it was just overwhelming so I took a 6 hour nap afterward!

I met Nate and Jackie for brunch knowing full well I wouldn't make it to dinner-and-a-movie as we had planned and I was sure right. They have a new restaurant a block from their apartment that is quite fabulous. I seem to gravitate to restaurants in former gas stations since my favorite Palm Beach place is also a build-out. What a waste. I sat there dripping and completely unable to eat my cognac lamb burger. I have to get back and give this place another shot. Brunch was wonderful (or so it looked!) and I was dying for a mimosa but didn't dare.

So after my long sleep, this is the day that is designated for the ride to Ipswich to take the birthday presents to the babies. Fortunately they are still too young to understand birthdays, and I am waffling (another brunch?) about the long drive up and back. At least it's sunny and the car is warm. I talked to Mandy last night and they are in a major cabin fever mode from all the snow so I kind of feel my effort might be appreciated beyond what I anticipate. And sure enough, guess what was in the Horrors this morning:

You may feel anxious today, and your uneasiness can get the best of you if you have been working hard to put a relationship in order. Even if you made inroads recently, there still may be something that's not exactly right. Although you could be overwhelmed with all the stress, don't throw in the towel yet. You have already come through the hardest part, but it will take more time to see how much progress has already occurred.

So basically I am heading out after lunch today. The snows start tomorrow and I am pretty sure my flight back will be cancelled on Wednesday because of the predicted 15-20". I probably won't get out before the weekend with all the travelers heading south. No word on the JetBlue website yet.

Sorry there isn't much to report since I have been watching infomercials and test patterns for days now, haven't even picked up any knitting after having dragged it all along. I did read a funny post here about how one woman manages her fabric stash. And I thought I had a problem with fabric! Lookee this!

Hell, I can now view myself as actually (at least) mentally healthy!
