I hab a cohd

My sniffles have turned in to a real cold. I won't go into the dirty details in regards to my symptoms, but I'm not having a lot of fun. To top things off, I forgot my cell phone at school. I can't go in to get it, so, I guess I'll have to live incommunicado for the evening.

I made a bowl of chili for supper tonight. What I'd really like is some homemade chicken noodle or chicken and rice soup. But it's too much work for me to do myself. I need to make a batch and have servings frozen and ready to go when I want it.

Poor Joey is suffering as well. I'm not going to take her for a walk this evening. Instead, I've got her tied down in the backyard. She doesn't do that very well. She just sits around on the patio. Granted my grass is so long she'd probably get lost if she ventured into the jungle. She did, however, muster up the energy to chew the UPS guy a new one. I ran out and apologized, but she didn't bother him at all. I just hope she decides to pee and poop while she's out there. Last time I looked, she was all curled up on one of the patio chairs. I watch her like the mother of a 3-year-old, but we've had stray dogs wandering around in the neighborhood before. The husky I saw out there the other day would bite her in two.

I suppose I should make myself another cup of tea. At least now I can drink chamomile because now it won't matter if I fall asleep.
