I’m late today for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I’ve been laid low by a sinus infection that affected my equilibrium. I’ve been so dizzy all I can do is sit in a dark room. This has been since Friday when a severe weather system moved into our area.
I’m feeling a little better today but not quite back to normal. When I finally dragged myself to the computer this morning, WordPress wasn’t working right. My editing menu disappeared and I couldn’t write my post. The Help Desk guy said it was fine on his end. I tried a different browser and it came up, so it must have something to do with Firefox. Maybe it’s feeling dizzy too.
The menu is super simple this week. Even if I start to feel better I’m not going to be in the mood for anything complicated. Since Greg will be doing the bulk of the cooking, I’ve limited it to leftovers and pre-made stuff he can pull out of the freezer.
Fortunately, he changed my menu last Friday. Instead of having cheeseburgers like I expected, he smoked a chicken and brisket so there’s plenty of food to last us all week. How’s that for timing!
Who does the cooking when you’re under the weather? Or do you have to power through? Do you keep any pre-made foods in the freezer or canned food? They come in handy when you’re not up to the task.

When I am unable to cook we eat canned tuna, salad from local Mexican restaurant and Subway sandwiches among other easy meals. My sweetheart Husband cannot cook but he can open cans and shop for meals.
Glad you are able to get through this easier because Greg is there to do the heavy lifting but hope you feel better soon because we are due for more severe weather this coming week and your area will probably get it worse than ours again too Maria.
Jackie: Greg kept offering to take me out, but when you feel dizzy you just want the room to stop spinning. I’m just glad he’s here.
Hope you feel better soon! I actually like easy meals like what you have planned for the week ahead. If I’m under the weather or hubby we usually have a few TV dinners on hand; not the most healthiest, but the most easiest if not feeling like spending lots of time preparing food 🙂

Betty: TV dinners have a place. I keep a few frozen snack items like eggrolls and hotdogs. Easy stuff that can be cooked in no time.
Feel better soon!
Thanks, Barbara.
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling so good. Sinus infections are hellish.
Jenny: I hate that they last so long. I had so much planned this weekend. At least I had a handsome nurse. 🙂
