Tuesday I was home again from work. I woke up without a voice and had been up all night coughing. I made a doctor appointment, went back to sleep and slept until 11am. Doctor diagnosis? Bronchitis. Fun times! My lungs are clear, I feel okay despite the coughing (not run down at all). She gave me antibiotics but said she wasn’t sure they’d even help. I decided to take them (even though I hate antibiotics) just in case I also had a sinus infection and woke up today feeling a lot better. Hmmm. I guess they worked?<\/p>\n

This week can take a flying leap<\/em> as far as Michael and I are concerned! It’s just been one crappy thing after another in a litany of crappiness and illness. Michael and I are good, don’t worry. Sometimes your partner needs some cheering up. Even though I was sick and not feeling great last night, I did my best to cheer him up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI stopped at World Market on my way home from the doctor and pharmacy and picked up a mini summer sausage, smoked gouda cheese and a discounted box of Valentine’s chocolate covered fortune cookies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI wrote a little note for Michael to cheer him up and included this fitting quote:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.\u201d ~ Henry Ford<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The smoked gouda was delicious and the sausage was a bit spicy. It really cheered him up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nAfter our snack I started making dinner. I seasoned the last of our salmon fillets with salt, pepper, a little bit of lemon pepper seasoning and dill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nI sliced up a lemon and topped each salmon fillet with that. The fresh just makes it better.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nI added some defrosted green beans to each of the foil packets to cook along with the salmon. It was a super easy way to cook dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nI baked it for about 22 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. While dinner was baking we ate small Caesar salads. The dressing was even better a few days later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDinner was good. It was also really simple: bonus!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nWe sat by candlelight and ate dinner, then had dessert.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span>
\nNow to the stress eating…Being sick and having massive stresses this last week led me to make some not great choices yesterday. I woke up at 11, skipped breakfast and ate the last of the brownies instead. Probably the equivalent of 1.5 brownie.\u00a0 I ate lunch and then was good the rest of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Then when I was making dinner I ate one of the cupcakes I made. Like seriously. Why? I was making dinner. I’d be eating it within 20 minutes…I couldn’t resist a cupcake and wait until after dinner? Ugh. And guess what? I still ate dessert!<\/span><\/p>\n

After dinner Michael and I both ate one brownie cupcake (the last of them) and then we split one of the chocolate covered fortune cookies. Bad, bad choices on my part. <\/span><\/p>\n

QUESTION: Are you a stress eater? How do you prevent it?<\/strong><\/em>
