Self-Indulgence

posted Thursday, 5 February 2009

     When I'm sick, I try not to be too much of a baby. I mean, I don't really appreciate it when my loved ones whine and complain when they're ill, so I make a reasonable effort to be considerate and not be overly demanding (even though yesterday someone did accuse me of behaving like I had a man-cold!).

     But sometimes you need a little TLC. You just want something warm and smooth and creamy to make you feel better, you know? I've been dreaming of cream of potato soup. And cream of wheat. And maybe some roast pork egg foo young (OK, that's not creamy, but it is warm). Mmmm, that would hit the spot.

     So that's what I did all day yesterday--I pretty much ate non-stop (including some delicious and nutritious Nutella on toast) and cranked up the tunes. And watched The Daily Show. And played Wordscraper. And blogged. And blew my nose.

     All in all a very self-indulgent day.

You're fine. I am such a baby when I get sick and make demands for people to do everything for me. Hope you get back up to 100% soon.

You didn't mention that you put the Nutella on toast! :) Sounds tasty, and definitely self-indulgent.

For me, a long soak in a hot tub would be about the most self-indulgent thing I could think of. That, plus listening to my favorite tunes, preferrably at the same time!

First Linda was sick, now you are....it's only a matter of time now before I catch it!

Colds are crap - sore throats are the worst I reckon. Get better!

rick--the most indulgent thing i do with nutella is eat it straight out of the jar. god, it's good. not much of a bath taker, myself, but a long hot shower is good for the sinuses.

agnes--actually, first it was tim, then it was linda, now me--maybe you ARE next! ;-) i hope not. although i suppose you're at risk regardless, as you probably catch your share of colds from the wee ones you come in contact with.
