The plague is back

The very next morning after I completed my antibiotics for my revolting throat infection, my symptoms returned with a vengeance. I'm just as sick, if not worse, than before. I'm sure my paltry little amoxicillin prescription couldn't put up enough of a fight against whatever vicious, resistant, super-bug bacteria I picked up at the hospital.
Here I am, sick as a dog, going on two and a half weeks - and we have so many plans and guests for Mardi Gras. Great.
My big plan this year was to create a savory king cake to bring to a parade party, but I don't think anyone wants to eat anything I've touched unless I have a sudden recovery (But don't steal my idea. It's happening next year, promise). I was also going to make a bacon and brown sugar king cake for my bacon-loving hipster church friends. My church is full of hipsters. They all wear plaid, ride bikes, drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, grow beards, and like bacon in non-bacon-appropriate places. They'll be disappointed.
Heading upstairs with a mystery/crime novel. It's pretty good, although the language is atrocious. 
Tonight we were supposed to bike down St. Charles to the Nyx parade, but I just don't feel well enough. Instead I'm going to bed with a cup of tea and a good book.

  1. Ugh, get well soon! (A bacon and brown sugar king cake does sound amazing, hipster taste buds or not...)

  7. Hope you feel better - I'm sure with your career, it's much tougher to stay healthy than most of us. Hipsters make me smile. My son-in-law is a "wanna-be-hipster" (if there is such a thing). They work soooooo hard at "appearing" dirty and carefree. I admire their commitment to the facade. Hmm, I wonder what they'll be when this fad expires. Cute kids.
