I've reached pickle critical mass in my refrigerator!
Just a random photo - there's all kinds of pickled "stuff" in my fridge!
Today is the 3rd day of complete downpours. Forecasters are saying 8-10 inches of rain depending on where one is in the "viewing area" - that's A LOT of rain!
Still dog-tired, didn't even manage to reply to everyone's nice comments yesterday. Although now I'm thinking it's a little more that just being tired since I woke to swollen lymph nodes under my arms, I've never had those swell up before - but I figured since it's doubtful that I pulled muscles knitting that's what it was LOL! Besides that just REALLY tired, with no other symptoms so I figure my body is valiantly trying to fight something off so I have given in and have not done anything productive in a couple of days. Today I went to the library and got a big stack of books to see me through the rain that is supposed to last several more days...
Oh dear, don't you go getting sick on us now! You've really been Supermom/Superwife/Superfriend/Superneighbor/Supergardener lately, I think you need some super-down-time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteHot soup my dear! And geesh, you need a break hon! I' wiped out catching up on your posts and just THINKING about everything you do!
ReplyDeleteDown time is needed, for sure. Keep your eye on those lymph nodes, lots of liquids, lots of reading, and lots of knitting. ;o)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are set for pickled stuff. Sorry to hear you are coming down with something. Baby yourself like you would your own baby.
ReplyDeleteErin, you have perfect weather for allowing yourself to get over whatever is trying to get hold of you. Since hubby isn't available to step in for you should you succumb . . . well, you just can't succumb. Let's nip this in the bud by being sensible and resting a lot, putting lots of fluids, mostly water, into your body to flush out the germies, stay away from sugar (even fruit juice has a LOT of natural sugar in it), explain to the boys what is going on and I think they will do their best to let you take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteDo as we all say now or some of us will have to come beat you into submission. (And we'll do it, too!)
Fever? Hope you are resting. So many brilliant comments already made, what a wise group of followers you have!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and if I make pickled peppers, does the grape leaf still function as a crispening agent?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need to curl up with those books all day while the kids are at school. Hope you feel better!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! That's a refrigerator full. We all refuse to give you the right to get sick, but I think the books on the couch in the rain will be just lovely. Y'all should be getting quite a bit of it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better soon. Definitely curl up with those books and nap if you need it. I slept until noon yesterday and felt tremendously better after. Take care.

Rest Rest Rest!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the pickles! Feel better!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got pickles!
ReplyDeleteAre you okay? (hugs)
