That's a seductive title, right? Friday I crawled home from work and was asleep on the couch by 6:35. I woke up at 9 am Saturday morning but aside from showering did nothing all day that required moving from said couch. I read
an entire book and watched the first three episodes of this season's Billions, started another book, ate the curative wonton soup, and had MFD waiting on me. He punished me by putting Dune on and falling asleep. I fell asleep on the couch again Saturday night but made it upstairs and woke up feeling sort of better Sunday. I had the sheets changed and my nails painted (OPI Gelato on My Mind) before you could say
winter illness fuck off for good. Aside from laundry and food prep I took it relatively easy on Sunday: I read
another book and started season two of The Santa Clarita Diet blissfully alone in the house - MFD was out showing houses then on a shore house mission to do some shit for next weekend as we have some people staying there.
It's a good thing I rarely get sick because I am not a good sick person. I will drag myself forward like I did all last week until I shut down then I lack the willingness to rest that is required to get my energy back. I don't have patience and I don't like to rest when I have things to do and I can be an asshole about it.
Weekly food prep: scrambled eggs for breakfast; roast pork loin with roasted potatoes and steamed broccoli or cauliflower for lunches or dinners; cheeseburger skillet for lunches or dinners; taco meat (not pictured) for dinners and to freeze; sliced pickles/black olives/petite diced tomatoes for tacos and cheeseburger thing; sausage/egg/green chile breakfast burritos to freeze.
I had to run for the train this morning. Not really physically up for that. Thanks, Monday.
Tomorrow is Show Us Your Books with me & Jana! See you back here for that.
Sorry you weren't feeling well, but I hope you're on the mend now! Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteUgh when I get sick on a weekend I always feel as though I got gipped on a weekend but thankful I didn’t have to take time off.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling a bit better.
I could only watch an episode or 2 of the Santa Clarita Diet before I started gagging lol.
I’m impressed food prep even after feeling sick! Wow
What'd you think of the Santa Clarita Diet? I adore Timothy Olyphant but could not with Drew Barrymore.
ReplyDeleteHope you start the week feeling better!
i tried watching the first epi of SCD but wasn't my cup of tea...i do love timothy olyphant though.
ReplyDeleteGlad you at least felt bad on the weekend so you could make your bed your best friend & rest.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I’m trying to decide if I’ve got allergies or a cold coming on. Slamming vitamins but if it’s here....then I’m
ReplyDeleteScrewed. Ugh!! Hope you fell 100% soon. Xoxox
Ugh what a bummer of a weekend, but glad you had the extra time to rest up and hopefully feeling better!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you were sick over the weekend. Glad you got some rest even though that's not always your cup of tea. LOL @ the title of this post! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you were not feeling well, but you sure did catch up on sleep and still got reading, nails and meal prep in, good for you! Hope you are feeling much better today!
ReplyDeleteI've heard really good things about Santa Clarita diet. Sorry you weren't feeling well over the weekend - but your nails look great! Love that color.
ReplyDeleteI am making the cheeseburger thing this week too! Sorry you weren't feeling well. Hopefully that was the last of winter's middle finger to you!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you felt so awful, but glad you're feeling better. This sickness season has been the worst ever, at least in our home and I'm SO ready to say goodbye. Super impressed with how much food prep you accomplished while not feeling 100%!
ReplyDeleteOh man... with the exception of illness, your Saturday sounds perfectly introvertly amazing.
ReplyDeleteK started throwing up this morning and spiked a fever of 103. UGH. I really thought we made it through winter without either of us getting sick. DAMN IT. I'm praying that it's a 24 hr thing and I've been monitoring his temp. and filling him with water (which he's been keeping down- whew). All that to say, being sick SUCKS and I hope you're on the mend and I don't get K's illness. LOL
I agree with Audrey Louise, with the exception of being ill, your Saturday sounds like my kind of Saturday (an introvert's dream). Hoping you are on the mend as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a good sick person either. Thankfully, I rarely have to deal with it.
