I'm surprised I actually managed to post yesterday. Truth is, I was a little delirious, so you'll have to forgive me for my lack of discretion. I was so exhausted all day, I couldn't make it from one room to the next without stopping to rest on whatever piece of furniture was in my direct path. At one point, Marcel asked what I was doing on the couch when I'd said I was going to bed and I said, plaintively, "I just couldn't make it that far." I think the only reason I made it to the computer was because I had to get downstairs to throw the soiled clothes and bedding in the washing machine, and the computer chair was the closest place to rest before making my way back to bed.
I just have to say one more thing... I think my daughter Julie is growing up to be a beautiful gracious girl, and the next time I'm sick, I want her around. She brought me blankets, offered to get me drinks, and basically served me whenever she could. This morning, when I emerged from my bleariness, she brought breakfast in bed. How good is THAT? (I'll overlook the fact that she's fighting with her sister right now because she was so good to me yesterday.)
Update on Julie:
Today, while I sat by and watched rather groggily, she baked the most amazing blueberry muffins. I may just have discovered the perfect "after-you've-been-sick-and-can-barely-smell-food-let-alone-digest-it" food - Julie's blueberry muffins! Mmmmmm...

They do look rather delicious, and I see that many are gone. Do you have any Julies to spare? No, I didn't think so.
So good to hear that you are doing better!
And yes, they look very yummy!
Glad to see you feeling better heather. Those muffins look great!
I am so jealous of you. Last year when I was sick and preggo, my darling three-year-old daughter did anything BUT ease my pain...
Heather...no time to read much, but do hope you are feeling better.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Swampy will be back to blogging in about 10 days.
I'm glad you are feeling better. Those muffins look awesome!
those muffins are making my mouth water.......yummm
you are blessed to have such a wonderful daughter :) she is beautiful on the inside AND the outside
Ooh those muffins look delicious. What a sweetheart. And I love your yellow tile! It is so cheery!
Mmmm. A little butter on those muffins and a glass of milk. I know just how it feels to come out of a sickness-induced funk. You feel lighter and more lucid. Just the way I do after a sinus infection. Glad you're feeling better.
they do look yummy
you must know that blueberrys are my favorite
I think your Julie and my Olivia are almost the same age. They look close. 10. Olivia likes to cook and mother as well. It's such a sweet thing to watch their natural personality come out with little to no encouragement.
Those muffins look great. Did she use real blueberries? We usually do the box mix. Blueberries are hard to come by here unless they are frozen.
stand proud, Heather. It looks like you're doing a dynamite job of raising your offspring.
Glad to know you are feeling better.. and that Julie was able to make some muffins for you. They look good, Weight Watchers be doggoned :)
Peace,

We have a nasty virus running it's course here, no one in our house yet, but many people we know are sick sick sick. I missed breakfast, haven't had lunch yet and those muffins are driving me away from my desk to root in the fridge.
Glas you are feeling better.
loved the e mailed pictures by the way.
What a wonderful nurse!
Oh.. I know what it is like to be so terribly ill.. not a fun time that is for sure. So glad to hear you are feeling better. Bless Julie and her muffins. :-)
