My cold has expanded to Offically A Pain In My Ass, and as a result, today’s post will be brief. I would love to do the Grace in Small Things today, but I’m finding it hard to be grateful when I can’t breathe properly. But I’ll do my best to find 5 things that I am grateful for:
1. Puffs with Vicks. God’s greatest invention when your nose can’t decide whether it wants to be plugged up or not. I particularly like how it gives me zero notice when it decides to empty its contents onto my upper lip in 0.3 seconds flat. My solution has been the tissue stuffed in the nose. It’s attractive, for sure.
2. Mount Olympus water. Because if I have to stay hydrated, this is my beverage of choice. I like it so much, I have a cooler in my kitchen and 5-gallon bottles delivered to my front porch every month.
3. The turkey chili that I made on Tuesday before I was Officially Sick. It is all I can keep down right now, and it requires minimal effort to heat it up in the microwave.
4. My SelectComfort bed, which is my home base for the next day or two, and is the most comfortable place in my (or anyone else’s) home. Hands down.
5. The Marzibain Bubble Bar I bought at Lush in Vegas. I can’t really smell anything right now, but somehow, the almond scent got through. And a bubble bath always makes me feel a tiny bit less sick.

Take care!]]>
