I hear you on that rest thing. I can't figure out if I'm still tired from the big trip 2 weeks ago or fighting some virus. Just have no energy, drag myself around the house to do some simple thing, like make a pot of tea, then it's back on the sofa. Once on the sofa, I can't keep my eyes open. I just took a shower and I'm wiped out. We went to 2 family gatherings over the weekend and a lot of the people were in various stages of colds, etc., so I'm hoping it's my body working hard to keep me from getting so sick. If so, I will keep on resting as long as needed. A sure sign of illness for me is being chilly, as I'm always hot. Well, today I can't get warm enough.
After I rest a bit more, I want to cut up an arm roast that DH got at the store today and make some beef stew. DH is an old-fashioned guy and thinks stew is fabulous. Now that I have a Dutch oven big enough, I think I'll put dumplings on the top. Good old Bisquick variety, nothing time consuming today. I saw a recipe for cornmeal dumplings and figure they would be good with a pot of ham & beans.
Back to the sofa,
Jacquie
