Sorry I’ve been absent for a while.
I don’t normally like to apologize for not posting any given day because sometimes life just happens and I don’t want to start filling up my blog with dozens of posts that all start with an apology. But, at the moment I’m not sure how many more days are going to pass without me posting, so I thought I’d at least give you a heads up on what’s going on with me this time.
I have been VERY sick for the past couple of days. Something I ate on Friday sent my body into a rebellion. I haven’t been able to eat much of anything and even fluids are difficult to keep down. My hunger has returned now but eating still just doesn’t feel good.
I’ve been surrounding myself with various fluid options to keep hydrated…
Man, kombucha has been a life-saver. It’s really helping to replace some of the healthy bacteria that I’ve lost from not being able to keep food down. And Jeff has been making me a tummy-calming ginger tea with lemon and salt to replace electrolytes.
So for now, I’m concentrating on getting myself better for our trip to Seattle this weekend and refining our itinerary. I’m gonna try to get a few posts up before then but right now I’m just not cooking anything exciting or going anywhere fun to report about. I do have some fun posts scheduled for the week that we’re gone, so next week will be back on track regardless.
What foods or drinks do you rely on when you’re sick? No really, I need suggestions! 
I hope you feel better. What about your sickness elixir? I’ve actually made that for Jason when he was sick!

When I am sick I make a huge pot of soup. With the most colourful vegetables I can find. You can even blend it if you are not into texture. Feel better soon!

Good idea, I’ve got a crisper full of carrots I could roast and puree. That might go over well.
Oh, you poor thing! *hugs* Hmm, when I’m nauseous I drink flat lemonade (or I did when I was a kid), and for sore throats I mix up lemon juice and honey and drink that straight, or add ginger and garlic and hot water to make it more of a tea. But you need more nourishment than that! Hope you get better soon!

Feel better! When I’m sick, nothing is better than a coca-cola and a grilled PBJ. And lemon-lime gatorade.

You have a stomach of steel, woman.
I tend to drink mostly water, but depending on the sickies I also (like Laura) drink a coca cola… you’re s’pose to drink it flat, but who’s kidding who..it doesn’t really matter..and burping is good:) Feel better sweetie!
Something must be going around…you and oh She Glows down for the count! See you when you get better
Oh no!!! I hope you feel better soon, Alayna.

Hope you feel better very soon! When I don’t feel so well, I usually sip on hot lemon water sweetened with a little bit of honey. It always does the trick!

Feel better! My go-to drink when my stomach is sensitive is ginger tea with honey, but you’ve got that one covered. Maybe a smoothie with a bit of almond butter blended in if you need something that’s a bit more filling but easily digestible?
