Oh No They Di-ent!

I have a cold and I am miserable.

It started on Saturday night and I spent the day in bed all day Sunday. I managed to make it to work on Monday, but then was home in bed all day Tuesday.

I cough constantly and my sides now ache. I sneeze so hard I lose my balance. I've gone through tons of Kleenex and juice.

I'm not a "mature" sick person. I get crabby and whiny and I like things the way I like them.

Today I wasn't feeling all that hungry so I tossed a Lunchable in my purse for my lunch.



It's supposed to have 8 crackers, 8 pieces of lunch meat (mine had kielbasa) and 8 pieces of cheese.

Notice I said supposed to have.



Imagine my dismay when I got to the 8th cracker and the 8th piece of lunch meat and....

NO 8TH PIECE OF CHEESE!

I was speechless.

I must have checked and re-checked the empty tray three times before the sad truth sunk in.

I.was.robbed.

I like things in even numbers. I appreciate it when things are even. I don't like odd numbered groupings.

So there I was, sick and whiny, having to choke down a cracker and a piece of meat with no cheese to make it perfect.

Oh the horror.

What made it better, you ask?

The little mini Kit Kat bar that comes with it.



That poor little piece of deliciousness didn't even see me comin'.

Yum.

All better.

  1. You crack me up sometimes! Glad that little bit of deliciousness brought the happiness back to your lunch!

    I'm not such a good sick person either. It cracks me up because people say men are horrible, but I know how I am so I rarely comment on that one.

  3. I'm sorry you're sick. It's hard being sick and pregnant because you are limited to what you can take. That's so funny about the number thing. I feel the same way about it too!

  4. You were robbed!

    I'm the same way when I'm sick. I hope you're feeling better now.

    I was feeling sick last week, too and every time I sneezed round ligament pain was shooting through me. :( Glad that's over!

  6. Oh Kate...this is hilarious! These are the things that get me rattled too! I hope your whole family feels better soon. Can I recommend Puffs with Vicks...A.MAZ.ING! I just bought a box [during the worst of my sinus infection...after my nose was raw!...and they really work!]

  7. Seriously, I think I spread my sick germs to you virally! Same sickness here last week...only I lost much more than my balance when coughing. *embarrassing* Hope you feel better soon! Thank goodness for Kit Kat bars! Oh, and Canadians are lucky in the lunchable world--we only get four crackers, cheeses and meats! We're gettin' robbed!

    P.S. Have you read my last few posts? Did you see my good news?!
