on thursday my throat started to hurt. sign #1 that i'm getting a cold. on friday i had a headache. friday night i spent entirely in bed from 5pm until i fell asleep. tv in bed. knitting in bed. dinner in bed. cough, sneeze, sniffle.
on saturday i had to proctor a standardized test at school (ugh), so i was up at 7:15, and that was actually kind of good because it got me going for the day. it rained all day saturday, so i decided to make baguettes and from-scratch black bean soup, the kind that cooks for four hours on top of the stove. i'd never made black beans from scratch before, and had kind of poo-pooed the idea (sure, the bag of black beans is $1, but the same amount of canned black beans would be just a few dollars more - why waste all day cooking them?). but man - this soup is GOOD. i omitted the ham, obviously, and served it with a big dollop of sour cream and it was creamy and delicious. it made a ton of soup, so i froze some for another rainy weekend.
today i slept until 10:30 (thank you, nyquil), but i'm back in bed again. more knitting/reading/tv watching from under the covers, hoping to take care of myself this weekend and store up energy for the week of work ahead. ruby's in bed - how could i say no to snuggling with her?
