Ugh. Sick on Christmas
Well the sore throat started on Sunday. I didn’t think much of it. Just a tinge of scratchiness. I was also feeling very tired. I rested most of the weekend. Yesterday, Christmas Eve, I got out of the house to enjoy some of the nice weather. Blue skies, upper 60s/lower 70s. I was out at Ralphs purchasing stuff for Christmas lunch at my parents house. I had already picked up a Honeybaked Ham and we also needed turkey for my dad. I didn’t want to purchase a whole Turkey, so I went with Whole Turkey Breasts. Of course, they were brined the evening before in my usual brining solution and it was so moist!!! This time I cooked the breasts downward, then turned them over in the last 30 minutes of cooking to get some browning.
It was good to see my dad and mom and all the kids. It was a very informal lunch with all the traditional fixings. I didn’t eat much. I wasn’t feel well still. The scratchiness has turned into a ball and I was really really sleepy. I left right after lunch (3ish), came home and have been in bed ever since. I woke up to being fully congested and hot. I can’t find my thermometer, so not sure if I’m running a temp.
I missed Scott Shumaker’s call as well as Tim from work. I got up around 10:30 this evening and txt’d Tim. He is on his was to a small vacation down in Mexico with Damien. As for me, I had some leftovers and trying to stay warm as I’m now freezing.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
Back to bed for me.
