Walking pneumonia

The New Year always starts out with illness in the Litwin household.  I'm not sure why we have been cursed, but I can trace illnesses back since before Aaron and I got married in 2000.   Aaron started feeling badly on his birthday, which was Monday, and went to the doc yesterday where he had a 103 degree fever and a cough that just won't quit.  She diagnosed him with "walking pneumonia" and basically said that if he doesn't improve or gets worse he may need to be admitted to the hospital.    Perfect.   Having one of us down for the count is bad enough, but both of us is a nightmare.  Luckily, Aaron's parents are relatively close and took Ryan for a few days because I just can't keep up with a toddler while on one leg and Aaron is in no condition to do so either.  I am praying that a couple of days of "doing nothing" will get Aaron back to feeling human again soon.

I have been watching a lot of Food Network over the last two weeks and think that the whole station is the devil and makes me really hungry.  It's fascinating to watch all of these fantastic meals come together but frustrating because even on the knee walker there is no way I can cook anything more complicated than a sandwich right now!  I did make fajitas in the slow cooker for New Year's Eve (had family over) and they turned out really well.  I never would have known that I can do fajitas in a crock pot if I hadn't watched so much Food TV :)   I have even found myself in the mood for sushi, which is something I don't even really like so I think that these shows have some sort of subliminal messages, probably paid for by restaurants and fast food conglomerates.   That's my conspiracy theory and I'm sticking to it.

My cast is really loose so I will probably have to go back to the doc on Monday or Tuesday for a new one.  I kind of like this pink one, but I never repeat a color in succession so I have to pick something else.   Does anyone have a request or recommendation?
