Straws

This weekend, both Alvin and I were sick. We both have had a lingering cough this last week, but over the weekend I had a slight fever and now I have a sore throat. I also had some stomach issues.

Yet, I want to tell you about my new guilty pleasure I turn to when I am feeling sick. It's my straws. I remember that when I was young and got a cold, I drank 7UP from a straw.

So this being the first time I was sick with cold-like symptoms in this city, I felt a little homesick. So I went to the kitchen, grabbed my recently purchased straws, and drank my lukewarm water from a straw. My favorite moment was the day after my fever, I woke up, saw a full cup of water with a straw on my bedside table, and drank the whole cup without even sitting up. Thank you inventor of the bendy straw!

I think drinking from straws will be my replacement to the gummy bears. First, I know gummy bears supply won't last forever, and second, straws probably won't give me cavities.

so sorry to know that you both getting sick. How about make yourselves some congie with chicken if you have the energy. Get rid of the skin and boil the chicken seperate in some water for about 5-8 minutes before add it to the rice for the congie. Hope you feel better very soon. With love.
