Proof of how this infection is fuzzying my brain! What I meant was that I'd never heard of cinnamon being added to a lemon-honey-drink.

Darn, sorry to hear you are sick, too. Big hugs from me, too!!! And big congratulations on hitting all your goals - I hope you feel really great about achieving them!!!! Please rest up and don't worry about goals while you are sick - just tuck yourself in and have a wonderful sleep if you can!!

Hope you feel better soon - at least it's now it's early Autumn so all sickness should hopefully be out of the way for the rest of the year
Hope you start feeling better soon, Amy. Here, we just got kiwi berries which I haven't had before and they are DELICIOUS and they're packed with vitamin C apparently. I don't know when the season is there, I think it's short, but I definitely recommend. Rest, of course, is paramount too.
Thanks all! I am a bit better, but not as better as I'd like to be. I get tired easily (and today is a work day) so I'm not catching up on people's stories as well as I'd like.
Tiredness is somewhat messing up my eating, too, though I have the best of all chaps here with me, who has been getting breakfast and supplying the lemon-honey drinks.
Yesterday I thought it was time I started cooking "proper" meals, and thought I'd make a pumpkin-ginger soup, which is surely the easiest of all soups to make - I forgot that cooking is a creative activity, which takes actual energy. It wasn't a disaster, but I took my eye off it, and there was much splattering of pumpkin soup all over the stove and surrounds (Much Splattering - sounds like a village in Midsomer, doesn't it?) and by the time I'd cleaned that up I couldn't face the soup and just had a lot of cheese (cheese!) and crackers for tea.
Anyway, not better yet, but getting there. Thanks again.

Kiwi berries? aka kiwi fruit/Chinese gooseberries/etc? I didn't know re: Vitamin C - thanks for the tip!

Getting better is good, hope its over soon. I hate being sick.
That made me laugh out loud. Shame about the soup though!Yeah, they're a smaller version of the typical kiwi fruit, about the size of a large grape and the skin isn't fuzzy.
Kiwi Berries Are in Season, and They're Goddamn Adorable

We learn something new every day . Never saw them here .
Amy hope you are better soon . It’s dragging on a bit now . Hope the energy improves
Sorry about all the splattering! My kitchen gets like that when I teach my daughter cooking. She gets quite enthusiastic with stirring and with the egg beater, and the walls and cabinets are often turned into edible abstract art. (She adores cheese, too!) Hope you feel better and that you get all your energy back fast!!
This splattering was more because I took a short (not short enough!) break to rest which it was cooking - and it somehow turned into an orange Mt Vesuvius. There was lots left in the pan, but I'd lost enthusiasm for it.
Me either! Is it an edible skin, Rob? I mean, I guess it's not poisonous, but is it a skin which is easy to eat, like a grape's?
I'm still below-par in energy, but beginning to pick up "normal" life, like going back to work etc. Didn't wash the kitchen floors, though, despite their quite clear need of it. The weekend - it can all wait till the weekend.
Thanks again for your good wishes.
Glad things are beginning to pick up again for you, Amy. And yes, re the skin. You can just pop them like grapes. I think they're a real taste explosion.
Not sure if your work involves it or something creative maybe but I notice you have a high emotional intelligence.

No, not really a poet, just a play-poet. I do teach part-time, but also do some editing work which can be done by internet - so some work at home, and some not - plus work at home of the floor-washing kind, of course!
Today I'm pretty zonked, but definitely on the mend.
So far I'm holding the line on my October aims, too - which was to concentrate on things other than weight-loss (general fitness, skin care, ensure I'm getting enough protein - that sort of thing) while still being careful not to go up at all.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
