Worn down today

[j_cheney]

I haven't been sleeping well this week, which is rather unusual for me. (I generally sleep like a log). I've been waking several times a night, which keeps me from getting into a deep sleep, so I'm worn down. I'll try a sleep aid tonight....

Unfortunately, I also over-indulged in Ted's habanero salsa* last night, so my intestines are doing weird and vengeful things today....

Mmmmm....more salsa....I love the burn. ;o)

*Seriously hot salsa, this stuff is bright orange....which tells you what the actual contents are. This has no tomato: it's just peppers.

Perhaps I'll get some sleep tonight....

I made mole poblano sauce with baked chicken breasts for the first time last week. I thought it came out well although too hot for my husband. I warned him to use it sparingly and he liked it.

Sorry you're having trouble sleeping.

This waking up all night thing seems to be going around. I've been trying to figure out why I'm not sleeping even though Coral finally started sleeping through the night again this month. Maybe it's part of that Austraian cold we picked up in LA!

Mmmmmm.... hot salsa! Larc likes mild, but not me. Want me some habanero salsa too!

This place has the BEST salsa....if you guys ever come to OKC, we'll tkae you there. ;o) (They have mild, too).

Yeah, I just haven't quite gotten back into the groove since CA, so...perhaps it's some weird Aus virus. Kind of like a Kalici virus, but meant ot kill off sleep, not rabbits....

OOH, story idea.....must go!

I've been up since 6 am, myself. I swear, this is the longest post-flu I've ever had. The funny thing is that with the flu proper, I never got to a full fevered state, just really cruddy for three days, followed by a stuffed head for a week.

My theory is that we were all pretty susceptible due to the go-go-go, sleep when you can nature of the workshop. So, we were more easily pummeled, as it were.

Still, habeneros ought to be able to kill off any residual germs, I think. I've had a few memorable encounters with that vegetable, but I am a Midwesterner by birth and not really capable of keeping up with y'all full blooded Tex-Mex sorts.

Back to the novel!

Yeah, I never got fevered, nor did my husband. I do think that the pressure at the workshop made us susceptible. ;o)

I've got a hot pot of chili...hungry? :)

I didn't sleep well last night either. The baby kept me up to the wee hours of the morning and then my oldest woke me up early also feeling ill. I fear a stomach virus has found a home with my family. Yuck! Here's to a looong weekend.

OOh, sorry about the stomach virus....but chili should help kill it off....

Good luck!

Sorry - but welcome to my world, dear. Hopefully a sleep aid will do the trick. No more salsa for dinner, either!

No salsa? The discomfort is worth it...

Eep, too hot for me.

I hope you get the sleeps!

I'll try. Thanks ;o)
