Miss Leila is home sick today. She has been feeling crappy all weekend, but her fever is gone now, and she just has a sore throat and a cough and a stuffy nose. General malaise. She felt well enough today that she wanted to make cookies for Daddy. Chocolate chip bacon cookies. I went to the store this morning and got bacon and chocolate chips, and she did the whole thing until it was time to put the lumps of dough on the pans. She hit that wall you hit when you've been sick and you're starting to feel better, but you're not quite there.
So now she's in bed listening to a Harry Potter audiobook, and I'm stuck babysitting the cookies. This is my least favorite part of the cookie baking process. You're up, you're down, you can't settle in to watch anything because BING! you have to get the cookies out of the oven and load up a new pan.
By the way, you read right: these are chocolate chip bacon cookies. Its an experiment. I'll let you know. Although, I'm not feeling that great either and have absolutely no appetite for cookies or bacon, let alone together in one cookie.
BING! hold on a sec', gotta get the cookies...
I'm back. The Blitz was not overly blitzy last week. I'm only down .4 lbs. Better than a kick in the head, but nothing to crow about. This week will be a different story. Less wine, more starving. My overwhelming sugar cravings should be mostly gone for another three weeks, so let's see what I can accomplish. I have very little appetite right now. I may be coming down with something. Let's hope its something that makes me want very little to eat, but doesn't make me feel too bad. I'll win this thing yet!
BING! Alright, alright I'm coming!
