And Lose My Heart on the Burning Sand

One handy perk, especially when you're illin',  is when you make a meal with specific ingredients, like yesterday's  Vietnamese Summer Rolls, and have leftover pre-cooked pork and shrimp.  Perfect for a quickie Ramen broth, also fortified with leftover dipping sauce, mushrooms, rice noodles and that incredible shrimp boiling broth.  This came together quickly and was the highlight of my day.

Being sick on your day off of work is a blessing and a curse.  It's helpful because you don't have to call out and feel guilty but it's not good to squash all productivity for a whole day.   But bodies need to replenish and refuel from time to time.  It shows us we're not in charge.  I'm all over that.  Submission can be a fun way to spend a day.
