I’ve got a confession to make. I might be just a teeny weenie bit sick. Not full-blown of course, but I’m actually taking over the counter meds now, which I generally try to avoid at all costs.
The reason I’m actually admitting it is because I didn’t do a blog post last night. Instead I soaked in a scalding hot bath for forever and a day and tried to sweat out the sickness. I’m a big believer you can sweat out the bad stuff, despite having no real logic to support my theory. I have no idea if this works, but I feel I’m doing something constructive. If you agree, let me know. If not, silence is golden.
I’ve also taken to stuffing a Kleenex up my nose and leaving it there. I’ll be honest; it’s not the greatest look for me, but since my nose decided to turn into a dripping faucet, I really have no choice. This saves time, money, and my face from turning into a red and raw wasteland from excessive nose blowing.
Since I don’t want to leave you with such a sad and pathetic mental image of myself (it sounds much worse than it actually is), I’m going to share one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received. This one came to me, by way of my big brother at Christmas. He was my “Secret Santa,” so he had this shirt created just for me. Thanks Bro.
And the view from the back (always my favorite angle).
Bam! Double Bam! Move Over Emeril; I am coming to town…once I’m back on my feet, that is.
My older brother and I don’t always see eye to eye on our food choices, but he’s one of my biggest supporters and really what more could a sister want? Other than health, but with a weekend devoted to rest and relaxing, I should be back to full speed in no time. I’m already half way there.
Since I’ll be taking it easy, I need to live vicariously through you.
Tell me what you’re getting into this weekend? Anything exciting? Any big cooking plans? Or workout dreams fulfilled? I want to hear all about it.

January 11, 2013 at 10:19 AMI definitely believe you can sweat out sickness. Unless you pass out from combo heat and sick, that wouldn’t be good! Hope you feel better soon!
Meghan says
January 11, 2013 at 11:19 AMYeah! I didn’t pass out, and I’m actually starting to feel a bit better (knock on wood) so it may work after all.

January 11, 2013 at 12:23 PMhahahahahahah oh my god. The tissues up your nose. I shouldn’t laugh, but that is hilarious. I totally feel ya though. Being sick sucks!
Meghan says
January 11, 2013 at 6:27 PMYep, no shame here.
Brittany says
January 11, 2013 at 1:10 PMOh this post made me laugh. NOT that you’re sick, but just the humor in between the lines. I hope you feel 100% soon. I think sweating it out is true. Sweat carries toxins so SWEAT like you’re in labor to get it all out! That shirt is awesome, what a great gift.
Meghan says
January 11, 2013 at 6:28 PMI’m glad you get my humor. When I read your blog, I felt the exact same way.
And you agree about sweating out the sickness, so now I like you even more.
Rebecca @ Blueberry Smiles says
January 11, 2013 at 2:42 PMSeems like everyone is sick these days! Get some sleep and hopefully you’ll be better by the end of the weekend. This weekend I’m hiking, watching the nfl play-off games, teaching, hiking again….and hopefully laying on the couch and relaxing too!
Meghan says
January 11, 2013 at 6:30 PMLots of hiking, but also lots of fun. I need to get outside and do some hiking when the weather is nicer here. Have a great time!
kirsten@FarmFreshFeasts says
January 11, 2013 at 4:56 PMI won’t say I knew you were sick. But I do hope you’re feeling better soon.
Would it freak you out to know that tonight I’m trying my hand at a deep dish spinach and feta pizza on an eggnog-butternut crust? I’ve not done a deep dish pizza in aeons, so wish me luck.
Right. I’m off to work out in my basement after I comment on 3 more blogs because your last question nags at me to get my bum in gear.
Meghan says
January 11, 2013 at 6:32 PMOh My Word; that sounds DIVINE. Seriously spinach, feta, eggnog and butternut. Wow, I’m blown away and now it’s my turn to bow before you, Madame Pizza Queen. Good luck; I can’t wait to read and see all about it, once you finish your workout, of course. I haven’t been to the gym all week so I’m jealous.
Jessie says
January 12, 2013 at 3:13 AMBeing sick just SUCKS! Wish we lived near each other so we could lounge around together, watch trashy TV & eat whatever
Meghan says
January 12, 2013 at 8:58 AMWouldn’t that be wonderful. Maybe eat some fruit and then a bon-bon or two or three.
Luv What You Do says
January 12, 2013 at 11:28 PMI don’t have my cooking plans figured out yet, but we did do pizza night with some friends tonight. So fun! I hope that you are feeling better SOON! Rest up!
Meghan says
January 13, 2013 at 10:43 AMOooh pizza, that sounds good. Thanks for the good vibes; I have been doing pretty much nothing but resting all weekend, and I think it’s paying off.
