Thanks for saying Hi May. Yes, largely I am okay. I have an awful bronchial-viral-illness thing so I've been coughing nonstop for a week. I've fully self-isolated myself since Sunday when it started, refusing to go to the store or even for a walk because I don't want anyone to have any more panic than they already do as they hear me cough in public. I never had a fever or any trouble breathing - it really is just some viral thing that has caused bronchitis. It has been okay, just uncomfortable, and I think I'm on the mend.
My work went remote, so that has been good. I miss the social element but believe fully in this need. I'm trying to find my own routine, like the fact that the sun in my living room is best between 3PM - 7PM, so I rotate into that room at that time. Online classes have started again and I'm trying to get the motivation to work on this class that I really don't want to do. Last one. I need to do it. I don't want to. Ugh, PHP will be the thing that breaks my brain.
No cooking though for now, as I'm so terribly germy. Getting by with the basics, and a bit of ice cream for the throat. I did have one (very, very dumb) travesty where I lost about 8 cups of gorgeous turkey stock. I had made a lot of it, and was worried it would go bad before I turned it into soup. So I figured "Oh....it will probably be fine....I'll just put this in the freezer in this glass container with no top, there's room for it to expand". Nope. Shattered glass in my freezer, and lost all that gorgeous stock. Lesson learned. Yail did a dumb thing.
I did, however, make a wonderful fregola soup last week which is my new favorite thing. I used the recipe called "Fregola soup with rosemary" from a blog called "Delicious Dishings" if you wish to look it up. I'm obsessed with it.
Thanks for the distraction of saying hi. I've fully ignored my homework so far this week, and I'm on a good track to continue to do poorly in this class. I really need to gain some focus and a Kick-Butt attitude that I can do this, despite my brain telling me it's above my skill level. It's so anti-Yail!
