Ick- Sick.

I'm sick. Not horribly so- but definitely sick. I rarely get sick- but when I do, I am rather babyish about it. I want sympathy, I want someone to take care of me, bring me soup, tea, and more. I am also unsure about what to eat. Last night I did something that I haven't done in ages... I ate a dinner of... Ramen Noodles! We have no good groceries in the house, since I hadn't shopped since I got back from Hawaii, and Mike doesn't select what I consider to be 'good groceries. So my choices were very limited, in that (a) he had to be capable of cooking it, (b) it had to be good comfort/sick food, and (c) readily accessible. I actually ended up stopping at the grocery store on the way home from work, thinking about the parameters of my dinner. Granted, I could have gotten a frozen entree of some sort, or even canned soup that could be heated up on the stove top, but no, I opted instead for Ramen Noodles! I think that I have some foggy memory of being sick in high school and being comforted by Ramen, so that was it. I got home, Mike cooked my Ramen, I ate it, and you know what? It really wasn't all that good. Big surprise there, huh? I used 11 PointsPlus values on those stringy, over-salted noodles. Sigh. Point of the story? When you are sick, your normal choices may not work, and that's okay. Thankfully I am confident that I'll be well soon enough and until then, I'm tracking my food and feeling good about that. This morning I had oatmeal, diet ginger ale and light cranberry juice.
