Today sucked ass.  I actually texted T mid-day and said “how about we call this a Whole 18?”.  The boys and I called it a school day at noon.  I was done.  Both A and I have terrible colds.  I’m hoping it’s a quick cold and not spring allergies.  As you can see my lunch was a bowl of toasted coconut.  I wasn’t that hungry but wanted to munch on something.  A and I settled onto the couches under blankets and watched The Three Caballeros.  T ended up coming home around 1:30 because he was feeling shitty too.  I guess around 2:30 I got hungry so I made myself a quick plate of food.  I only ate a couple of radish pieces.  I was a dumbass and left the greens on the radishes all week and they went bad.  I cut them off and washed the radishes really well but they tasted like rotten greens.  Next time, I cut the greens off the radishes when I bring them home.  I didn’t really feel like making dinner, but I did.  I could barely tasted it but everyone was happy.

The one good thing that happened today was that my dishwasher miraculously started working again.  I’ve spent a month and a half hand washing all of my dishes and I’ve been using the dishwasher as my drying rack. There was water that was pooling into the bottom of it so I wanted to run it to drain it.  Lo and behold, water was now going into the dishwasher again.  I guess the pipes must have frozen.  Either that, or there is something loose on the back.  Either way, it picked a great day to start working again.

Bedtime was funny.  T and I were rationalizing a hot toddy.  I said I would have one ONLY if my cold kept me from sleeping.  I would have one shot of whiskey with some warm lemon water and a touch of honey.  We rationalized that if we were to take cold medicine or cough syrup it would have sugar and alcohol.  Why not just make our own with good ingredients.  I think T was really hoping that we would do it but I was able to fall asleep and stay asleep pretty well.  So, we  made it through day nineteen, barely.  Only ten more days to go!
