The weekend that wasn’t

Posted July 27th, 2009 by Kimberly Dowd

Can I tell you about what a great weekend I was GOING to have?

We were going to go to the Xponential festival on Saturday, where we would have basked in the sun all day and taken in They Might Be Giants, among other neat bands.

And yeah, I said neat. They are neat.

Then today, we were going to have our usual Sunday breakfast at Starbucks, followed up by food shopping and I was going to bake the best from-scratch cupcakes ever. Chocolate cupcake, peanut butter frosting and Reeses’ cups level of good.

Given I had only baked cupcakes from scratch ONCE, these would have been guaranteed to be the best ever!

There would have been pictures galore of everything, taken with our nice GOOD camera. Perhaps even a nice new picture of me to replace Hostess whatever and my Facebook photo.

But alas, t’was not to be.

I started feeling sick on Friday and declined into a fevery stupor for the rest of the weekend.

Can’t go out and sit in 90-degree weather in full sun when you have a fever. (Well, I can’t…dunno about you.) Can’t bake cupcakes unless you want to infect your friends and loved ones.

So here is the only picture of what looked to be (through my window at least) the perfect summer weekend.

At least I have off Tuesday & Wednesday to make up for my craptastic weekend.

    Oh Lord, can I sympathize with you. I had this about a month ago and it’s plain miserable when it’s hot. I had to *gasp* drive to work for almost 2 weeks as well. But once it was gone I was back to biking.

    Get well–and soon!

    I just want to let you know that about 2-3 weeks ago there was a recall on everything Zicam, because the FDA (or someother body) found that Zicam destroyed peoples sense of smell over time. Now I don’t know if these people used it once a day/week/month, but the threat of loosing my sense of smell made me ditch the product. Just some FYI.

    (goes into complete Marcia Brady meltdown)

    Oh my nose!!!

    I guess it makes sense that swabbing your nose with homeopathic goo makes no sense. Thanks for the heads up.
