I am still sick, but I had to come to work in order to get stuff done for the fundraiser next week. I walked into my office to find a bag of candy corn, two bags of mellowcreme pumpkins and a bag of "autumn mix," which contains my second favorite candy--the candy corn with the chocolate layer. Can I swallow without pain? No. Did this stop me from eating candy corn? Have you met me?
As for actual work, I got precious little done. My head is not in the game. I did find out that one of my co-workers has the exact same symptoms as me. Neither one of us thinks it's the flu. I also managed to get some knitting in at the reception desk, so all was not lost.
And there is a bucket of Dubble Bubble bubble gum on the receptionist's counter courtesy of the program department for Happy Week (it's a moral booster thing we do), which brought back some great memories for everyone. One summer, my BFF Joann and I chewed a whole lotta Dubble Bubble so that she could send the wrappers in for prizes. She got a duffle bag, a T-shirt, and a beach towel. Joey loved the Dubble Bubble and had a very indulgent father.
My sister sent me a treasure trove of photos for Vintage Photo Friday; almost too many for the weeks I have left. I'll have to decide what stays and what gets saved for another time. One set will have to get a post of their own. See you tomorrow!

You are a trooper for going into work. However, I am more impressed by your ability to eat candy corn. There is something addictively evil about them. I bought one bag for Halloween and it is never ending. It's like it fills itself back up every night, even though I am eating it by the handfuls all day long. truly evil.
If you are still feeling under the weather I posted a link to homemade nyquil you might want to try. Hopefully you are much improved today and you won't need it. Maybe the magic is in the candy corns.
Hah. I have a (small) bag o' candy corn given to me by one of our vendors. It sits on the edge of my desk and taunts me.
Oooooo...candy corn is my fave too.
HOWEVER, I do not believe that candy corn is a good medicine for the flu! Start eating fruits and veggies, my Dear, drinking fruit juice and other liquids...including Natalie's flu potion with Southern Comfort. Take care of yourself!!!
