I'm desperate enough to give my daughter's "killer concoction" another try. About a year ago, I felt the same symptoms and asked her for her secret recipe that she had had previous success with. After jotting the ingredients down on a scrap of an old envelope from one of my many "organized" piles on the desk, my ADDWOM kicked in, and I started a project in the kitchen. By the time I finished several more random tasks, I returned to mix up the brew. As happens often in my life, (my ROCK will attest to this) I couldn't find the scrap of paper with the recipe on it. I decided it was not a problem, I'd just go from memory. (1st big mistake!) I threw the cocktail together and dumped in LOTS of extra cayenne pepper and 3 cloves of garlic, since that would surely kill any cold bugs! (2nd big mistake)-I slugged it down on an empty stomach. Oh my goodness! That was not one of my better moves. It took about 5 minutes of burning in my belly before I had an extreme deja vu of my pregnancy days! UGH! With that said, (I know….TMI) I plan to be MUCH more careful this time, and follow the recipe exactly! Thank goodness for modern day technology, because I emailed my daughter this morning for the recipe (she and her beautiful family are basking in the sun and sand on their "Babymoon") and she stated very clearly that I should have breakfast FIRST and SIP it not guzzle!
So, as much as I hate to leave this comfy spot here on my loveseat recliner in front of the fireplace wrapped in my prayer shawl and quilt, I need to get moving. Unlike these two four-legged creatures, some of us have to accomplish more than perpetual naps!
For I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
