This weekend was spent on the couch; lots of Netflix, lots of DVR shows being watched, lots of kleenex.
When I’m sick, Fat Kitty knows it. He is immediately glued to my side purring, loving me, cuddling. He does not leave my side until I’m better, either. This weekend was no different. Fat Kitty likes to burrow underneath blankets.
Isn’t he adorable?
It was the perfect weekend to be sick, really, lots of TV needed to be caught up on and it was stormy all weekend long. Portland went from Indian Summer straight to Rainy Winter. Cold, windy, thunder, buckets of rain. All weekend long. It’s Monday morning and as I write this, I can see the rain outside–sideways rain!
Sunday Michael and I laid around, me sneezing and complaining–him coughing, and watched TV. Weeks of saved shows: Community, The Office, 30 Rock, Mad Men, Modern Family, House. Dinner was lazy comfort food and it was delicious.
Grilled cheese! Gooey grilled cheese. We used shredded Colby Jack cheese (shredded melts better). On one side light mayo, on the other side honey mustard. Then Michael cooked up some bacon to add to it:
I put one and a half slices of bacon on my sandwich.
Michael grilled them up on the skillet, using foil to make sure the cheese was all melted.
I reheated the Red Pepper and Crab Bisque.
The perfect comfort food: soup and grilled cheese.
Wonderful!
I am over this cold! I’m ready to get back to my life. Now my body needs to cooperate. 🙂

QUESTION: Send me your favorite movies I can watch on Netflix. I’m out of good ideas for sick days!

Ahh i hope you feel better soon! Grilled cheese and soup are definitely comfort foods in my book! 🙂

That sandwich looks amazing. I wish I could pull it out of my computer monitor and have it on my desk! It’s perfect for the cold weather outside! I’m glad you are feeling better…I did the exact same thing last week with the flu (minus having an uber cute kitty to keep my company). Community and The Office took good care of me!
As for a good movie…hmmmm. Tough one. Star Trek is out on netflix and that’s always a good one. Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken is an oldie, but I love it. Up is also on netflix and a favorite. Hopefully those help!

Star Trek remake was a good one. I need to watch that again.

Are you still at home? That’s no bueno.
Love Fat Kitty! Am I wrong or do you have another kitty too? Other Kitty gets a lot less media attention. 🙂
We haven’t watched movies in forever (we have other ridiculous time killers, as you can see). I’m catching up on Mad Men from the beginning and finally getting to see the recent season of Dexter. Man, we missed our Dexter.
Plus, this is so annoying, our DVD player can play new exercise DVD’s but has gotten too sensitive to play been-around-the-block Netflix DVD’s so we have to watch them on the computer. I can’t remember the last time a Netflix DVD would play on the DVD player. Errrgh.

Last season’s Dexter was AMAZING. We aren’t caught up yet on the current season.
We do have another kitty–Maya. But we rarely see her. She’s a scared-y cat and doesn’t come out much. As for being home today, it was a pre-planned vacation day that I just happened to fall during my sickness. Bah! But it’s one more day of healing.

I hope you get better! My favorite movie that I’ve been needing to watch again recently is The Princess Bride. 😉 No matter how sick you are it should put at least a small smile on your face 🙂

Good one!! My favorite “sick” movie as a kid was Anne of Green Gables and the Princess Bride.
Katie @ Health for the Whole Self
I’m so sorry to hear you’re sick, and that the weather outside is ugly too! YUCK!
My favorite “sick time” movie is Dirty Dancing!

Curing a cold with bacon sounds pretty darn good to me.
Not sure what movies you like, but I can recommend some excellent that I have watched recently:
Memento
On the Waterfront
Doubt
If you like the office, you might really like the TV series “Spaced” with Simon Pegg. I *loved* this series!
Lisa Eirene
I haven’t heard of Spaced. Checking it out now!

Hope you are back to feeling 100% soon! Its amazing how pets ‘just know’ when you are feeling under the weather etc

Sorry you were sick, but it seems like you made the most of it. I love tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I’ve actually been eating that a lot lately as well. Hope you are feeling much improved.
By the way, just letting you know, I added you to my blogroll today. I will continue visiting often.
