No Rest For The Wicked
December 04, 2005

I knew I was in trouble when I opened my mouth to say, "Ahhhh", and the doctor said, "Oh Holy Christ."
What came next was a thorough examination, a prescription, and a 10 minute lecture on sleep, drinking lots of fluids - and absolute rest.

As I sat there in my flannel pajama bottoms, sweatshirt, scarf, fuzzy boots and unwashed hair, I chuckled - the first time I had done that in days. "Rest?"
He wasn't amused.

Honestly I wasn't either, but what are you gonna do?
I think I did go home and rest that day, but since then it's been a non-stop whirl of activity.

And today, today I am tired.

And I don't know if the tired is coming from the fact that I haven't had any time to rest, or if a party we're tricking Thursday night decided TODAY that instead of appetizers they want prime rib and all the trimmings.
Or if perhaps it's the Wedding on the weekend who jumped from 225 guests to 340.
Or perhaps it's just that I am not drinking enough lemon drops for endurance.
Yeah. That must be it.

I think I'm coming down with the same thing. Here's to the Lemon Drop cure!

In the name of all that is holy, woman, get thee to a bed and stay there. Or get some help. Do you have enough help?

You need a proper holiday, or vacation as I think you call it. Retire to the hills or the coast for six weeks. At least.

My God, girl... lay off the lemon drops if you're on meds. Have a little mercy on yourself!

Bless you Food Whore. Take it easy, I know that is insane to say at what is probably your busiest time of year. I wish I was there to help. I'm really good at washing dishes!

To heck with wilsonian - heat up those lemon drops, add a slug of cold syrup, and sleep well! ;0

Lay off the lemon drops!? Make those babies into a hot toddy, with a little honey and a lot of vodka. You'll feel much better!

Happy Holidays!

(and don't work too hard, dammit!)
