10 things I would really, really like right this second.
1. Four hours more sleep.
2. A giant omelet (omelette? I think it doesn’t matter. I prefer “omelet” because it’s such a cute little word) with lots of aged cheddar and spinach and peppers and shallots. Mmmm.
3. A giant cafe au lait with a tiny bit of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg on top.
4. A big ol’ fluffy pair of slippers to pad around the office in, indulging my need for comfort.
5. NO MORE RAIN. But that’s fairly standard.
6. A manicure/pedicure from Spa Utopia and twenty minutes in the eucalyptus steam room (which would actually help some other things.) I have no idea why I’m such a girl.
7. A new pair of sneakers that I could wear with jeans without feeling like Debbie Gibson.
8. To stop coughing. Thanks. Now. How about now? Maybe now?
9. A swim. In a nice warm pool. With lots of chlorine. So I feel super squeaky clean and slightly bleached.
10. My own kumquat tree. Right next to my desk.

You know, I would like all of those things as well. Except maybe the kumquat tree — I think I would prefer grapefruit.

Isn’t kumquat one of the best words ever?

I can’t believe you are at work. Can you take a sick day or something? If I worked with you, I’d want you at home and away from me. Not because I don’t love you or care, don’t get me wrong…
Along the sneaker route, what about a pair that is dark in color–blue/gray/black–and a good brand like New Balance that don’t look dorky and are super comfortable and last for years, which helps to balance out the cost (uh, no pun intended…)
Hope you feel better soon!

Liz, I’m not contagious… it’s an infection within me. That’s how it’s fine with me:). I’m thinking pumas for sneaks…

You know what I’d like? A Seafood and Crab wrap from Mr. Sub. But not right now, maybe in about an hour and a half. Yeah. mmm. And those slippers sound good too.
Hope you feel better soon.
