A Whore on My Back
March 24, 2005

So, when your not feeling well and you ignore it and you work through the fatigue and constant headaches and you convice yourself that some allergy medicine will make it all better... well... you get slapped upside the head with a sinus infection so deep and so bad that the post nasal drip makes you cough so hard you realize that they sell Depends for a reason.

And then you shock yourself by being completely willing to be in your bed or on your couch for two whole days and in the middle of all that your husband finds you sluffing around the house in bad clothing and Medusa hair in a complete state of delusion as you search the coat closet for the blankie your mother threw away when you were 5 - an act still not completely forgiven - and he guides you back to bed where you lay for hours on end flipping channels to watch mindless television programs like The View (what a bunch of hags).

And then you roll over and go in an out of conciousness and when you wake up you have to ask yourself if you did, in fact, see Paula Deen make a bread pudding out of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, fruit cocktail, and sweetened condensed milk. And you have to ask yourself how many drugs you are on when you say to yourself, "That actually sounds good right about now."

And you are completely willing to forsake the homeopathic medicines your grandmother taught you that take days and days to treat what ails you and are in complete favor of calling your doctor and begging him to give you a large shot of something or to just roll a 5 gallon barrel full of pills in your general direction.


So that's what's up.

I am sick.

I am being a lazy bum.

But I have drugs.


Soon all will be right with the world.

I read your most recent post and copied the recipe for the bread pudding from the Food Network website. Thanks for the tip. I can't wait to make it.

I hope you are feeling better soon.
I made the Krispy Kreme bread pudding this weekend and it was pretty good. It tasted a lot like sugary french toast. I didn't used the icing on it. I can't imagine how sugary that would have made it.

Remember that Shiksa Ball Soup you said sounded good? Have the Husband make it for you--oh, right, as my daughter (another adoring fan) just pointed out, he cannot work a microwave. Damn.

Okay, plan B: go to the doctor and get some stuff to dry up the sinuses.

If the Husband can find you one, have him get you a neti pot. Make up a batch of saline solution as per the instructions that come with the pot and use it to wash out your lower sinuses. It is the only thing that has ever consistently cured my sinus infections, which I used to get four times a year. Now, it is only once or twice a year.

Trust me. I have the nose from hell. The neti pot is your friend.

Take care, and get better.

Oh Honey - I had foot surgery on Jan. 21st and have been (unintentionally?) watching both The View (til I just can't take that Elisabeth and her opinions that I can imagine are word-for-word those of her parents or her husband) and Paula Deen (were you awake for her eating the doughnuts @Krispy Kreme?) for over 8 weeks now. Trust me, two whole days of guilty sluffing around is nothing; don't even give it a second thought.

Been reading your blog for awhile now - it's great. Real and smart and awesome.

If you say you can't stand Rachael Ray, all will be right with the world.

Get well!

Thanks for the well wishes, Ranta.

Lisa, every time Rachael Ray giggles or says the wor, "EVOO" it makes me want to shove hot and blistering rods of steel into my eyes.

Barbara, I will look for the saline pot thingy.

Homefront - I think I have more Nyquil than vodka right now.

Paul - I will take the consume as long as you promise there's vodka in it. (See above problem concerning ratio to Nyquil)

Sandy - it did look sweet. I can't imagine with the glaze.

Little Spark - let us know how the pudding turns out.


Back to bed I go.

*sigh*

Awww, poor Whore. Hope you feel better soon. If vodka can kill verms in a wound, surely it can kill germs in your body. Drink away-if nothing else, you won't feel so crappy (of maybe you just won't remember it??)

Me sick too. I empathize. Hope you feel better soon.
