So...... I woke up sick this morning. I've been feeling like I have cheated fate for the last couple weeks with DS and DH both getting sick, one right after the other.
Unfortunately, my luck ran out . I felt like I had strep throat when I woke up- yikes!

I had to drive to North Seattle and Bellevue today, for unavoidable/mandatory errands. I was also supposed to go to an appt with a specialist at the UW, but called their clinic and they said they did not want me there with a fever.    I've felt dizzy all day long. As I was driving, I felt myself about to nod off on the freeway, so pulled over and drank a bottle of Vitamin (?) water , and perked up, so kept going. On the way back, I stopped and grabbed a few things from Whole Paycheck for my son's special dietary needs, and headed home. I must have looked pretty whimpy, because my son actually unloaded the car with only ONE complaint. (record for a teenager, dontcha think?)
No way I could do one more errand today, though I was supposed to make one more run. I had to lay down or fall down .

I grated some fresh ginger in my IKEA tea pot (love it- has a built-in strainer for loose leaf-) and am simmering it for a few minutes with lemon and honey , hoping to sooth my throat.  I sure wish I had some Marshmallow root!

Nurse! Nurse!!
Now.....where's MY nurse???

Honey in my tea always soothed my sore throats...

Got my first EE egg today. Nice green egg. My brother can now have green eggs and ham. Hahaha

That is a beautiful color. I do china painting and we have a color like that called "water green". It is my favorite color.

That's a beautiful cake! I feel badly because Mr. Hallerlake bought me a fabulous early Valentine's Day present. I've been sick and haven't gotten him anything except a card.

That is a beautiful chocolate set! Your DH is keeper!

Hello, the Forum! It's my first post here so by way of introduction, I live in unincorporated Mason County near Shelton with my DP, 2 Corgwyn, 1 German Shepherd and 5 hens ( 2 RIR, 2 Ameracauna, 1 Australorp). The dogs and hens are free range on the fenced portion of our property. Yes even the Bad German Shep (there is history there... A tale for another time). We are looking to expand the flock this spring with another 4-5 hens and possibly a rooster. Nice to meet you all!

from across the big creek. The nice folks on this thread let me and a few other Oregonians hang out and chat.

Happy early Valentine's Day everyone! Tomorrow we'll have school in the morning and make family V-day cards and crafts for each other. I have small cards and gifts for the kids too. DH got a babysitter (I didn't even ask or suggest it!) and we're going on a date from 1-6; might see a movie if there's anything still out there we want to see. Only things I can think of are Breaking Dawn II or The Hobbit. I'm sure we'll eat out too, since we can without the kids!

I made my DW Mizythra Spaghetti last night. She is going to a play tonight. And I swept the pine needles in the house(they are everywhere in a day, benefit of having a forest) without being asked. She got me my Dark Chocolate M&M's(I swear I should have stock in M&M/Mars). The Hobbit is good, but moves about as slow as the Lord of the Ring trilogy.

We've got a lab/service dog. Both of our cats are in love with him. Here's our lab with our Soap Lake kitty. BTW- they are NOT begging for popcorn- they are merely "suggesting" . Everyone knows my pets do not beg!

I love that pic. They cute and content!
