Drugs, curry and Sharpie joy

Though I feel considerably better than last week, my cough is really tiring me out as well as keeping me up at night, so I went to see my doctor. She's prescribed two inhalers (Albuterol and Flovent) as well as a super-powerful cough syrup for nighttime use.

I've only used inhalers once before, years ago, and am still fascinated by the technology.



Above: new Sharpie pens! Jeff recently introduced me to Costco. I've only been there twice, and always feel overwhelmed when I walk in. Holy toledo. I had no idea how many products you could get in bulk. I gravitated immediately toward the office supplies section, of course, and bought a big package of colour Sharpies for much less than what I'd pay at a regular office supplies store.

Any other office supply fanatics out there? Just LOOKING at my new colour Sharpie pens fills me with a sense of contentment and well-being.

Hm...or could that be the cold drugs?



I spent much of my sick time not having the energy to go shopping or to cook while Jeff was at the cottage, so overdosed on tv dinners and processed food. Ugh. Now I'm overwhelmed by a need to COOK using fresh ingredients.

I got the recipe from Judith Finlayson's The Healthy Slow Cooker, still one of my favourite slow cooker cookbooks. The book's recipes require somewhat more elaborate preparation than other slow cooker recipes, but so far I've found the results well worth it.

I took today's photos with my new Canon Rebel XTi with my Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens. I am SO lovin' my new camera set-up!
