In which Poppy impersonates a Nyquil commercial

Apparently, I will do anything to be different, including my unique way of celebrating the summer solstice, which is to get the World's Worst Cold.

And this is not just your garden-variety sniffle, but the complete package: my sinuses are acting up so that my nose is either running like a faucet or completely stuffed up, and even my hearing is affected; my glands are so horribly swollen that I have not a double but a triple chin; I also have a sore throat; I'm coughing when I'm not sneezing; and finally, not tonight dear; I have a headache.

On top of which, I was up half the night, because for some reason, I can't sleep when I can't breathe.

To add insult to injury, not enough of you are blogging. Stupid internet! Be more funny!

Good news!

I just checked out the back of the Entemann's "Ultimate Chocolate Lovers Variety Pack Donuts" box.

Between Frosted Devil's Food Donuts, Devil's Food Crumb Donuts, Rich Frosted Donuts, and Rich Frosted Donuts with White Drizzle, my favorite flavor, Devil's Food Crumb Donuts, has the fewest calories: only 260 as opposed to the appalling 310 calories lurking plumply and with malice aforethought in each and every Frosted Devil's Food Donut.

Isn't that great? To think that of so many choices, I am automatically most attracted to the least fattening one.

Although that still doesn't explain what the box is doing in my kitchen in the first place.
