Last night I was feeling a bit under the weather after reading “The Taker” by Alma Katsu. My throat was a bit scratchy so I went to Starbucks (I hate coffee and the overall corporation, but I do like the atmosphere) and discovered that I enjoy the Caramel Apple Spice/Cider. That soothed my throat and I was able to get my word count written.
This morning when I woke up, my throat was still scratchy. I even had Button sing me “Soft Kitty” (really, how many BFFs would do that?). When that didn’t work I resigned to go the Walk In Clinic to make sure I didn’t have strep. While there I began reading “Of Poseidon” by Anna Banks. Twenty minutes later, no strep. Just a cold. Thankfully. The doctor, seeing that I was reading, said that the best thing I could do today would be to snuggle in with a good book. And that’s exactly what I did (as part of my Saturday Snapshot – first ever):
This is what I call the life. Plus, Dan made me chicken noodle soup and we rented The Hulk, Iron Man 2, and Thor (in preparation for our Avengers date this week).

So sorry about your cold. Glad it wasn’t strep. Sounds like you did the best thing – curling up with a book and pushing fluids. I can’t wait to see The Avengers either. Feel better soon.

Sorry about the cold, but I do love the ability to hang out like you did all day. Happy Sunday tomorrow.

Well … poor dear. You may be out of action, but you’ll get enough by watching those movies! I still think the doctor’s got it right, though … blanket, book, and more warm cider with some lemon and cinnamon in it! Feel better soon!

Get better soon, dear!

Well if you have to be sick, it doesn’t get much better than the doctor telling you that you should read. Now it’s just doctor’s orders.

Colds are miserable! Curling up with chicken soup and a good book will cure everything

Hope you are feeling better. I like your doctor’s prescription!
It’s pouring rain today so curling up with a book sounds good even though I don’t have a cold.
