For the second time in one and a half months, I’m sick. 🙁
The first time a simple cold resulted in full-on bronchitis. This time, I’m hoping to nip it in the bud early by heading to the doctors this afternoon. I have no idea what I’m hoping they tell me, since this is probably just a virus, but I don’t think it’s normal to be sick with the same thing twice in two months.
In the meantime, I’ve been living off of tea, oatmeal, and Vitamin C drops.

And last night – in a spurt of absolutely stupidity genius I decided that the best way to recover would be to make some homemade chicken soup!
After work I stopped by the grocery store, bought all of the necessary ingredients – including a whole chicken to roast – headed home, and got to work. The chicken took about 2.5 hours to cook, and (due to my terribly bad planning) by the time it was done I had to start my American Idol live-blog for HaveUHeard.
Luckily, the results shows are pretty easy to blog while multi-tasking, so during commercial breaks I ran to the kitchen to peel, chop, and slice the chicken, carrots, and celery.

Around 9pm, I finally had my delicious dinner – homemade chicken soup!
