Greetings from little cold/cough day 3. Mostly what I have is a giant annoyance. I don't feel that bad, but I don't feel that good either. Kind of meh. And once in a while, I have a big cough. Even less frequently, I have a sneeze. I'm not even sure I'm actually sick and it's not just me being dramatic.
I cancelled plans with friends on Saturday, because while I might wonder if it's allergies and drama, I wouldn't risk them on it. So instead, Saturday will be my day to experiment with the beef base I ordered. I'm going to try making some beef stroganoff for Jess. They love Stroganoff, but hate the texture of mushrooms, so I'm going to try chopping them into oblivion, to try to make them less offensive. I think we're going to try it over rice instead of noodles, as apparently that's more authentic.
I may make some more onion soup as well, because it was excellent. I'll just need to get some gasX, because that was kind of dire last time. I might as well, if I'm already chopping onions.
There's things we need to get from the house, but none of us wants to go back and get them. Now that we have a new, clean space, it's very difficult to pry us out.
My friend who got the job at Hopkins got her official offer letter. She'll be making the exact same as me, which is good. I was hoping they wouldn't lowball the offer. So, 6 months from Feb 11th, I'll be getting a $1000 bonus for bringing her in. I offered to share it with her, but she said that she wants me to keep it and take Jess somewhere nice.
I have a game scheduled for tonight, but we'll see how I feel. This morning, I seem to be coughing more, so if that continues, I might have to postpone. I really don't want to, but I also don't want to cough into my friends ears either.
For now, I'm going to drink my coffee and relax. Everyone have an excellent Friday!!
