But 'tis the season. Here they call it the post-Carnival flu. Last year I caught it about this time of the year and had to miss a few days of work--and my co-workers laughed at me, asking if I was down at Carnival. Apparently cramming a third of the country into downtown and parading them around from 2 in the morning with loads of alcohol is tough on the immune system. Who knew?
Well, this year, I won't be missing work, but I missed half of Christmas eve dinner, and I might miss cooking Christmas lunch today--which I was looking forward to. I also really wanted to get my hair plaited (corn-rowed) for Carnival tomorrow *yes, this year I have the flu pre-Carnival.
This is the turkey that I couldn't taste too well :(
Hope your holidays are Merry!
Addendum: this how my hair turned out! It was a very local style, and I got many double-takes from my co-workers ;)
