The Day After the Day After
I had planned on being productive
(well maybe that’s a lie)
the day after the day after Christmas,
but the cough persisted and my nose wouldn’t dry.
So after a cold, but sunny stroll with Charlie
(a long time in coming)
and a steamy, dreamy longer-than-normal shower,
I still didn’t feel very becoming.
A makeshift bowl of chicken soup I made
from leftover noodles and carrot sticks chopped,
a tall ginger ale with a straw,
then I plopped.
A few more episodes
of Gilmore Girls sounded just right
for the day after the day after…
a peaceful delight.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Soothing for the soul. Italian hugs

I think your idea of watching Gilmore girls with a blanket around you sounds like the perfect prescription to get well!
I just bought a Gilmore Girls DVD for my oldest for Christmas. We are anxious to watch it. Always heard so much about the show but we never had seen it. I couldn’t find Season 1, so I got Season 2 🙂
Get well soon my friend!

I’m so sorry you are sick with a cold. Those are the worst and especially around the holidays! I hope you get well soon! I took Zicam at the first sign of my cold this fall and they sure made me feel much better!

I got that cold right after Christmas and it’s still hanging on. The laryngitis is just about gone, but the cough and runny nose are persistent! I too have been eating a lot of soup since. I sure hope you’re feeling better by now.
