Deliriously sick, and other observations

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog exclusively for “A Little Bit Funny” and wendywegner.com. But then again, I’ve been busy trying to make the world a better place by helping underprivileged kids and advocating for vegetarianism; writing about education and raising money for non-profits. You could even say I’m helping the environment by sitting in my bed all day, coughing and sniffling and not driving my car. I’ll even go a step further to say that I’m contributing to a stronger economy by spending lots of money on comfort foods and homeopathic meds.

Clearly, this blog had to be written.

For one, there is a lot of bad television out there. I’m serious. Soap operas masquerading as youth dramas where newly outed teens get an intervention from their friends for taking one hit of a joint at a party (give him a break!). “Investigative news” that’s more akin to trashy daytime talk shows. And I don’t even have cable. I am choosing to watch these programs on Hulu!

My friend has been asking me to “read her yelp reviews” lately. She’s really proud of them. I actually DID IT.

I made a dozen strawberry cupcakes from scratch + strawberry icing. (I’m not proud). The worst part is that no one will eat them (except my boyfriend). Who wants cupcakes from a sick girl?

What I hate most about being sick is you can’t even do all the things that you dream about doing when you’re at work: clean your room, do the laundry, organize the home office, pay the bills… it’s all too much effort. And there’s way too many “Bachelorette” episodes to catch up on and napping to do (dreams are CRAZY when you’re sick!)

I’ve also enjoyed observing the secret life of my dog – what he does all day, his habits, you know. At least my cat soaks in the sun on our side porch. The dog just sleeps (and snores, and farts) next to me, endlessly, until he’s had enough and throws a tantrum, howls, and runs around the house until I feed him.

Here are a few photos from this week. Yes, each photo is taken on a different day. Enjoy.
