Cough, cough

I don't have much to report from the past couple of days because I was stuck in the house for the better part of the weekend while Bee had strep throat. It was ugly. Girlfriend couldn't even get off of bed most of the time. Friday I had to go without eating because we ran out of dog food and Bee was too sick to go to the store. She had a massive fever.

So I sat on the couch while she lay in bed. When she took it back on Saturday, I sat on her lap. And her stomach. And her head. Then she kicked me off.

I'm the one that's hungry!

Speaking of hungry, what's the one perk that every girl loves about getting sick? No not the sympathy flowers from boyfriends (Bee wouldn't get those anyway. What boyfriend?) , but the weight loss! Ah, yeh.

An easy way to drop three pounds is to get a cold, a sinus infection or strep throat. Food is the last thing from your mind, since you can't taste it and you're too busy blowing your nose or coughing to shovel food in your mouth. You can lose five pounds with a stomach infection since the calories are not only coming in, but also being flushed out as fast as possible. Sometimes too fast for the body to keep up.

Ew.

Though Bee is still looking slightly pale from being sick, she's so stoked about wearing her skinny jeans and a short skirt now that she's shed some water weight. Also jumps starts her back on her diet since she has no taste for chocolate or bread. And since she's still on antibiotics, she can't drink. That's another pound foregone in calories for the week.

Total weight loss by the time she's off the meds? At least four pounds. You go girl.

Now get to Petco and get me some grub.
