The week before we moved, my daughter got a nasty cold. She was up all night coughing. Of course we noticed but there was so much hustle and bustle she probably didn't get as much coddling as she needed.
In any case, the insidious little virus worked its way into me this past week. I haven't really slept because I'm coughing so f***ing much that I literally. Cannot. Sleep. My Dear Husband has good-naturedly put up with my incessant nighttime coughing by not sleeping in the same room with me. :)
Today the Mighty Husband has fallen. He woke up, ambled toward me (in my quarantined sick-bed) in a zombie-like stupor, and said, "I coughed all night long. I get what you meant when you said you were so excited you could finally sleep."
Now it's 11 am and he's still sleeping.
What does this have to do with diet, you ask? For the last three weeks--since I packed up our dishes and basically stopped buying groceries--we've been eating crappy fast food, microwaved food, leftover food, roadkill, etc.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason this cold has hung on so long is because our bodies don't have the right nutritional tools to fight it off. Viva Vegetables! Maybe if I start cooking homemade meals again we'll conquer the beast...
