Mondays Still Suck.

Monday morning has arrived (hello!) and Coffee is still sick. He’s home, in bed, and is ill enough to not even attempt working from the sofa today. Given that he’s the one in this relationship with the unbelievably strong work-ethic (and I’m the slacker) you know he’s really and truly feeling like crap when he doesn’t drag himself into the office.

Me? I’ve got the sniffles and sore throat that I’ve had for a while – I’m still feeling okay, if a little bit tired. I’m celebrating my immune system today and staying positive and with plenty of (candied) ginger to eat, lots of water, handfulls of vitamins to snack on.. I shall prevail! I shall kick some germ-ass!

When Coffee is feeling better, I’m pretty sure he’ll try to convince you that I “took care of” him in his sickness. Please rest assured that he’s feverish and delusional and has no idea what he’s talking about. It’s a well-known fact that I don’t have a nurturing bone in my body when it comes to caretaking the ill. He’s obviously deranged from the cooties.

    As for the concept of “taking care” of me, I’ll just note that I have a double recipe of tapioca. Tapioca which I didn’t make. Hey, Violet, please tell us your thoughts on tapioca.

    tapioca = miniature frog spawn which the dinner ladies tried to pass off as pudding at school. Not quite as bad as sago but still very much an acquired taste.

    I’m with the silly cow. Moo. Jello is where it’s at, pudding will do in a pinch, applesauce is grand, yogurt is peachy (or raspberry-y)… but you can have my serving of frog spawn, thankyouverymuch.

    Tapioca is… wrong. It’s just plain wrong.

    Didn’t you ever watch “Wok With Yan” when you were a kid? Tapioca powder is WONDER POWDER!!! Seriously, it’s better than corn starch as a thickener for a lot of things…

    Nonononono! I don’t CARE about Yan and his Wok-ing (and ohyeah, I watched it – we even had one of the cookbooks!) because oh, tapioca is WRONG.
