f*ck!
woke up this morning with a slight sore throat and a little achiness. ran to the drugstore and bought lots of echinacea and vitamin C, also airborne, because i know some people swear by it.
i'm still pissed off though. i manage not to get sick all year until i come home to visit my family. when they're sick and i don't want to touch them, i get chastised for being cold and bitchy. even so, they make it pretty hard to avoid it, like when my sick little sister touched all the ice cubes in the freezer when she got a drink.
however, this is my last night i have to spend in the house, the last night i have to be driven crazy by all the sick people, their messes and their fight picking. i love them to death, but goodness gracious, i think this marks the very last holiday visit when i actually spend the night! if at all financially possible i will be getting a hotel room from now on; it will definitely make visits less strained and more pleasant for all.
in other news i made my homemade mac cheese and a spinach and apple salad for dinner for my fam tonight, with warm crumbled bacon on top of the salad for the meat-eaters. it was a hit!
