This post is late

Please excuse my self, Sylvia Sabes for being late with the Findingnoon Monday post. Her dog ate it on the way to class.

Yes, folks, only four five (darn, time really does fly, at super sonic speed en plus) months of posting and I am already coming up with lame excuses for being late. Particularly lame, as I don’t have a dog and I haven’t been out since Friday. That is because I am at home in bed sick, and I’ll give that as a truer excuse as to why I simply zapped and did not get this post up before the iPhone buzzed noon. Thank heavens I’m not depending on any wayward mice or pumpkins to get me from A to B, or I’d be stuck at the palace gates!!!

The worst part about being sick this weekend is that it was GORGEOUS out and I had to watch it all from behind double paned french doors. AND I missed the best fashion week show of the season…. Jean Paul Gaultier. Ughhh…

On the plus side, I live in France, and France has the highest prescription drug rate in the world. I’ve got meds. Some really great meds. When friends and family come to town, they like to stock up on some of the French cold medications, because they seem to be more effective than the stuff they can get at home. I don’t know if this is true, but I do know that Fervex is a big favorite with our visitors. Its a powder you pour into hot water and sip until you fall asleep for the night, which usually happens before the mug has been drained. The taste is horrid, but I think people love that pleasantly stoned feeling it gives you. The skin under your nose has rubbed off from constant blowing? Who cares, you feel greeeaaaat!!! And the constant drip from the tip of your nose suddenly becomes a source of childish amusement.”Look, kids, Mommy’s nose just went splash!”

Usually you wake up the next morning feeling fantastic (and dreadfully embarassed). I did not. So I called SOS Medecins at 21h on a Friday night. Dr Uzan was at my door a mere 45 minutes and within an hour I had ‘scripts for a full blown sinus infection, laryngitis and the beginning of a bronchitis. A three for one. It was like I’d won the cold/flu season lottery.

So now it is Monday, this post is utterly daft and I am off to find me a chicken to make my chicken soup. Stay healthy everyone and avoid me like the plague, I’m contagious!!!

  1. Oh I hope you didn’t get it from me, as I came home with a little head cold but nothing like your triple-headed ailment. I’m just blowing my nose all the time.

    I saw the JPG show on Nowfashion.com, they post pictures instantly during the fashion show–really cool. You can see a repeat of the show there anytime. The looks are so spot on.
