killer bug

So, here's what I came down with last week:
He may not look so bad, but he had a lot of relatives over and I was out the last half of the week and not doing well the first half. My temperature reached a (personal) record high of 103.7 degrees! I thought my face was going to burn off despite the streams of sweat pouring off of me. The worst of it was Wednesday night through Friday, but I've still got a lot of congestion and have to take cough medicine to sleep (without hacking up a lung) at night.

So that's pretty much all that I've been up to! Joe took really good care of me, including making two big pots of chicken and dumplings that were delicious and soothed my throat.

Monday night we made chocolate pudding WITHOUT a Jello Pudding packet! (who knew?!?) It was actually really yummy and very easy. It just had cocoa, sugar, cornstarch, butter, vanilla and milk. We added mini-chocolate chips at the end to make it even better. Neither of us have had chocolate pudding warm before, but it was actually tastier that way.
