The other day, I was watching one of those wacky animal shows on tv. Filmed in a vet's office, the lens focused on a floppy-eared dog, galloping full-tilt down the entry hall, headed for an open door and freedom. The cameraman expressed concern, and a staff member said, "Oh, we don't have to chase him.", just as the escaping canine slowed to a halt and keeled over, sound asleep. That's what the meds I'm taking for a bronchial/sinus infection have done for me. I'll be sitting here, barking, reading a scintillating post, and, next thing I know, I'm waking up from a narcoleptic stupor, keyboard prints on my forehead. Which wouldn't be half bad, if I could remember great dreams, or the feel of the wind whipping past my floppy ears as I dash towards the open door. Cea (almost cured, but cabin fever setting in)

You poor baby. :( That stinks. I'd come make you soups but I'd probably just bring you more germs from the kids. And you definitely don't need that!
Hope you get over the Garfieldthecatesque nap attacks very soon. That's so annoying. Just so you know, it's not an age thing!! ;) I've been known to sit on the couch, straight up, not even slouching and fall fast asleep. I guess Peter Jennings just has a soothing voice, it's usually during the news that I do that. LOL Suddenly it's gone from a report on global warming or something to whoever is the center square that week on Hollywood Squares. Very disorienting to say the least. ;)
Get better soon!! ((Hugs))

Cea,
I'm so sorry you're under the weather. Here's a nice virtual rose:

Can you handle garlic? Whenever I get one of these nasty "bugs", I open up my kitchen cupboard. I take six cloves of garlic, slice them, and place them in 1/2 cup of honey. I let this brew for 3 days, then remove the sliced garlic and take a teaspoonful of honey/garlic mixture each day till it's gone. The garlic cures the infection and the honey helps the bronchitis. Wonderful stuff!

I was going to suggest this, but didn't know if you "imbibed". My favorite hot toddy is frozen lemonade, 2 tablespoons, in a cup of boiling water, and a shot of Glenfiddich or Southern Comfort. But that's only a last resort as it really konks me out.
You're making me drool here; I love it just this way too.
and there
How about cornbread? Have you made honey butter so you can butter your biscuit? I'm still trying to keep my weight down, as I'm less active during the Eastern winters. Once I get it maintained, I just might indulge myself.....
