Tales From The Couch

Blargh!

Yesterday I stayed home sick. I watched some Netflix videos, then got sucked into hours of last season’s Grey’s Anatomy. Michael decided I needed to get outside in the land of the living for a bit so he took me out to lunch near his office.

Comfort food! Grilled cheese: cheddar, Fontina and tomatoes. Just what I needed.

It came with a Caesar salad, that was delicious, and it was loaded with garlic. Garlic was just what my sore throat needed.

I had some hot tea too.

It was nice to get out of the house and eat something other than soup. Back home I got on the couch and watched DVR shows. You know it’s weird because I spent many years on my couch doing nothing, watching movies and TV, wasting my weekends…Now that my life is different it is so hard for me to spend my time that way (even sick).

Fat Kitty joined me on the couch and snored.

I got progressively sicker as the night went on. Lame. I am so over this sickness! It’s really putting a cramp in my life. When Michael got home, he made dinner for us. He defrosted some frozen shrimp:

I was craving shrimp tacos so that’s what he made. Since I was on the couch I’m not sure what exactly he did to everything. He cooked the shrimp in the skillet while the Spanish Rice was cooking.

Just add a can of diced tomatoes to the box and it’s delicious (and fast).

Michael made guacamole too. Yes, more garlic!

Since I was on the couch I couldn’t sample the guacamole before dinner (probably a good thing).

The tacos were fantastic. I ate two of them.

Inside each taco: shrimp, guacamole, sour cream, chopped green onions, chopped olives, shredded lettuce with lime juice, and rice.

I definitely want to eat these again. In fact, if there’s leftovers I will probably eat them for lunch!

QUESTION: Do you have a hard time resting when you’re sick? Do you go stir crazy?
