Toast and Tea Cures Everything

Yesterday I was feeling poorly.  I was dragging around all day, so

last night I could hardly wait to climb into bed.

This morning I did not feel much better.  I had all the tell tale signs

of coming down with some kind of bug.  I probably picked up 

something during my travels last week.  So I thought I would just

take some aspirin and get cozy and climb back into bed with the

current book on my nightstand.  Bentley wanted to go outside to

double check that our squirrels were staying in line.  While 

waiting for him, I decided to make a cup of tea and then thought

I needed something other than my usual oatmeal and mixed berries.

Toast!

Not the whole wheat, whole grain, healthy for you kind of toast.

No, feeling too poorly for that ;-)  What I wanted was two slices

of good old Texas Toast with lots of butter!  The kind of toast

that is pure comfort food.  

So I sat down with my tea and my toast and read Susan Branch's

latest blog post about the recent Downton Abbey episode.

After a few minutes something happened.  I noticed some

changes in how I was feeling.  Suddenly the headache and

stuffy nose had disappeared.  The achey feeling was leaving me

too.  

It's a miracle!  Toast and tea is a miracle!  I am cured!!

I closed up my laptop and headed to the fridge for some orange

juice.  I chased down a vitamin C tablet with the juice just to

make sure that the recovery lasts :-)

Big Texas Hugs,
