January 16th – Struggling

by annemariedemyen, posted in Canadian Meal Options

Well here we are, three or four days in and I still feel lousy. It feels like a month. There are two things I do spectacularly badly – traveling and being sickly. I don’t know what is worse – me being sick or Dan being around me when I am sick. Poor Dan. 🙄

Despite being in recuperation mode himself, Dan made supper last night. And did the dishes. 💞

Leftover roast beef, air fried potatoes, side salad, gravy and horseradish.

Supper was basic but very good – just what we needed. Dan is a very good cook, but his specialties run more to homemade soups, stews, steak and seafood, pasta…. We were not really up to anything that ambitious last night.

This morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen to make us each a Denver. I rather petered out half way through but it was doable.

For tonight, I am looking forward to French onion soup. If that doesn’t cure what ails me, nothing will.

I can’t imagine how people with chronic illness or pain, or terminal illness deal with it. When I was in hospital a few years ago, I couldn’t believe the strength and patience of my fellow patients. It was like I was the only one crying, whining, and bitching. 🙄 I even saw some of the other patients eating their ‘hospital food’ (Not to be confused with real food. 🍝).

Anyway, a special shout out today to anyone who is sick or suffering today. I hope you feel better soon. They say ‘”misery loves company” – I say “misery needs hope, and kindness, and aspirin”.

That is it for today. Take care and have a great day!

  2. I hope you are feeling better soon and may you experience a miraculous recovery. The purple flower is really uplifting even with those little prickly things. Rest–everything else will still be there.

  5. Lovely photo, Ann Marie! Your creations always look so delicious, I’d love to try Dan’s cooking, it sounds delicious. I hope you guys feel much better very soon, the weather being so cold probably doesn’t help the healing. Be well! 🙏🏻❤️

  7. Thank you, John. You would think the cold weather would kill any bugs that are out and about. Doesn’t work that way. 🤦. I am sure you would enjoy Dan’s cooking. He does have a talent. 👍
