…to spread some sunshine!
Only not, really, because my day is SERIOUSLY LACKING IN THE SUNSHINE DEPARTMENT.
Yesterday, PDCT participated (for the fourth time!) in the CT Food Bank’s Walk Against Hunger. It was awesome — we had a huge team, everyone was crazy upbeat and positive, even though it was cold and raining, and we had a blast. I’d love to link you to some photos or a blog post over at DragonflyCT that would go into more happy! yay! details, but I haven’t had a chance to write one.
Because that lovely charity event was bookended, on my part, by a three-day bout of flu and now? Two wickedly stiff knees and an infection. What kind of infection? Well, if you’re a lady, you’ll know what I’m referring to when I say that I woke up in the middle of the night yelling “OH HOLY HELL.”
I spent three hours taking care of that this morning, rendering me an essentially useless intern, but you know what? I don’t even have the energy to feel guilty. I mean, I do feel guilty, but other than just getting the work done from this here convenient Panera Bread location, there’s not much more I can do. It’s been one weird thing after another for just about a year now, and I am tired. Not complaining, really, because I’m so glad it’s nothing worse than “one weird thing after another,” but MAN. The “Oh heyyyy, I’m sorry!” phone calls and emails are really starting to wear on my nerves. I’m turning into one of those jumpy people who’s always ready to apologize, even before they’ve actually done anything warranting an apology.
So what’s my remedy?
They are miracle workers. Strawberry-flavored miracle workers. I kid you not.
Okay, so… Back to work!
Sigh.
Sorry you weren’t feeling well. Being sick sucks!
How do you feel about grape flavoured licorice? Hmmm..

@Hannah Hey Hannah! I’ve never tried grape! How is it? :)

Twizzlers! YAY! We don’t really get that in normal shops here in SA but in some specialty stores have them. And they’re really good!
Hope all the aches and pains go away quickly! At least when it’s all gone and done you know you’re good for a while because you have had your share.

@sleepyjane Thank you! I cannot wait until it’s all gone and done, that’s for sure. And yes! Twizzlers are amazing. They’ve been my stress-food since high school, haha.

Have you ever tried chocolate Twizzlers? Because, seriously? Wow!

@kel I haven’t! I’ve always been curious, but it seems so unnatural. You know, because strawberry chewy twists are totally right up there with fresh fruit on the “natural” scale.
