Kraft

On this "stay at home and be miserable" day, I'm going to take a moment to share with you my deep enjoyment for the finer things in life. Don't judge.

1. Little Caesar Hot-n-Ready
2. Kraft Mac-in-Cheese (the spiral kind)
3. Hershey chocolate bar
4. Velveeta Cheese
5. Hormel Canned Chili
6. #4 and #5 melted together and eaten with corn chips
7. $3 buck Chuck from Trader Joe's
8. Frozen biscuits
9. Instant pudding
10. (last, but not least) Diet Coke out of a can

These are a few of my favorite things. I think of them often when I am sick.

I dislike being sick

...mainly because I don't think anyone ever takes me seriously. I am staying home from work today because I had a fever and sore throat yesterday, feverishly sweat through the night, hardly slept, and woke up with congestion in my lungs and white spots on my throat, stuffy nose and a headache. To me, that is reason enough to stay home, even work from home as to not infect my co-workers, but thanks to my mother, there is this deep lurking guilt associated with staying home from work. I cannot possibly have any fun today, I cannot go outdoors, cannot have fun with friends tonight. "If you didn't feel well enough to go to school, you can't go outside," she would say, "or do anything remotely enjoyable apparently"...I would think. I'm home, trying to decide if I'm going to enjoy my breakfast or not.
