making phlegm sound sexy...

You all are the bestest (let's pretend that's a word for the moment). All your beautiful comments on the last post really helped to lift up my spirits. Unfortunately, my body's now let me down.

I've been sick all weekend, with no signs of stopping. I've been coughing up a storm and no amount of Buckley's seems to be helping (in fact, I think I've gotten an allergic reaction from it since I have bumps all over my skin now). I should buy Cold FX or whatever it's called but I can't even bring myself to get out of the house. My mom bought me a ton of 'suck-on-this-and-it'll-relieve-you-for-a-bit' thingies, so that's good. And she made me this remedy out of onion syrup, which is surprisingly sweet.

Basically, I've been like this:

I'm determined to get better by tomorrow since I have a paper due then (that I'm trying to write now ... err, that's working well!), plus I'd really like to enjoy the rest of the week in preparation for Halloween festivities! Oh, and my graduation photos are scheduled for Thursday (even though I don't graduate until next May) and I don't want to look ill in them! Or cough on the photographer ... maybe I can make phlegm sound sexy?

Even though I'm sick, I have lots of blogs to catch up on, which I'll hopefully get to during my 'paper-writing breaks'. For now, though, I want to share a video that also lifted up my spirits:

That's my simple smile of the week (it's so adorable)! And I'll be sharing my recipe of the week soon, since I've made a lot of meals this weekend. Hope you're all having a healthy Monday!
