cottage cheese, anyone?

i am now recovering from some major lymph node dumpage into my sinuses, which means that until my head clears up, everything tastes like boogers.  and i'm a nurse, so i say that all the time before i realize normal peoples' lives don't revolve around sickness and gross-ity.  sorry.  i'm not normal.  i try so hard, but i haven't gotten the hang of it yet ;)

i felt so gross today that i needed to eat something, but since i'd felt gross since coming back from faraway places i hadn't cooked anything.  and i really needed some canned fruit, frozen vegetables and ice cream.  i will never hear an explanation for cravings that makes sense.  even if it did make sense, i wouldn't care.  when i need canned fruit, frozen vegetables and ice cream, nothing less will suffice. 

by the time i left krogers, there was also some V-8 juice, saltines, hot chocolate and cottage cheese.  i had no idea that was missing from my life until i saw it. 

i'm going to have to figure out how to make that craving come back so i can finish the container.  the larger one was cheaper than the smaller one.  since i still don't feel like cooking, i have no idea what sort of nonsense i'll be eating tomorrow night at work, but so far… nope.  not bothered.  i had my cottage cheese and veggies and fruit and ice cream so i'm good.  the saltines are even more amazing than they looked from the aisle.  

despite the fact that i've had only a couple hours of sleep since….a very long time ago, i'm also going slightly delirious and was having trouble walking in straight lines and even standing upright.  i appear to be past that and have hung some christmas lights around the room, cleaned up the living room, done a bumload of dishes and… i really need sleep.  this is ree-diculous.  my tummy is no longer threatening to revolt and my sinuses are slowly but surely coordinating themselves with the rest of my immune/respiratory/GI systems.  life is good.  i was pretending to be whiny at work last night because my stomach was whacked out and i was on-call for two hours before...being called in to work anyway.  but it was a good night with some good patients and several good moments with some co-workers.  other nurses.  which is great because then we can all be socially inappropriate at 3:30 am with no weird looks.  i have been blessed with much, and i'll even include the sinuses here because normally they're very well-behaved.  and even when they're not, i have cottage cheese.
