What did you cook or eat today? (January 2026)

Around 10°F out... Made some beef barley vegetable soup with lots of garlic, a bit of turmeric, and some Vietnamese white pepper.

Don't think I'll be eating dinner. Feeling lousy. Just can't shake this whatever. Seems like it's letting up then bam back with a vengeance. Gone through several boxes of tissues in the last two weeks.

Hope you feel better soon. I caught whatever crud was going around before Christmas and it took a month to get over it, and it was just like you described with a few days of reprieve after a week, before it came back with a vengeance. I'm still coughing a lot, but at least feel better. Thankfully, the worst of it was when I had already planned to take PTO over the holidays, though I still took more PTO around that due to feeling so shitty. It sucks, but it's all just kind of life, though, once in while. You deal with it, push your way through, and focus on better days ahead. You'll get there. 👍

Thank you. My nose is so sore and red. Been rubbing it with lanolin to help stave off impetigo. And that damn wet cough just keeps coming back. Not to mention other issues.

Mmm-hmm, I'm still hacking up a lung in spells, especially while laying flat at night, but we all seem to get this crap occasionally over the winter seasons. It's just the time of year for it. But, Spring is coming and we'll all soon be over it and able to walk outside in shorts and a T-shirt, which I am very much looking forward to. 👍
