And I have a warm kitty:
I’m so sorry you are too sick to knit. Take care of yourself. BTW, what is Sheep Dip?

Sorry to hear about the sinus infection. I might add chicken soup to the comfort food…. and what is Sheep Dip? I’ve met the real stuff and wouldn’t consider it especially comforting for a sinus infection. Hope you feel better soon.
Huh, I never thought about scotch as comfort food. Must revise my definitions!

I’m glad the Sheep Dip’s arrived and hope that your sinuses will have cleared up enough for you to savour some soon, without ice 🙂

Looks like you got hooked on Sheep Dip when you were in MN! It’s good for what ails ya, if you like that kind of thing 🙂

Hope you feel better soon — sinus infections are the worst. Please share — what in the world is Sheep Dip??? The curiosity is killing me.
It’s good to see you have all the important stuff there to make you feel better. Maybe you’ll be sick leave tomorrow and bad weather furlough on Tuesday??? Then you’d be able to get well without a hitch!
Hope you feel better soon! I am worried that you might not be able to walk if you partake of too much “comfort” from the Sheep Dip!!
Hope you’re feeling better soon!! That Sheep Dip should help if nothing else does – And of course, Lucy will help, too 🙂

Hope you’ll feel better soon. A break from knitting is fine when you don’t feel well otherwise those mysterious errors find their way into your piece only to be frogged out causing you to have to start over.
Meow, feel better! I’m sick, too, though just a nasty cold. I did that meme, too. Fun and a bit of a brain-teaser. Hope your “medicine” helps!
Kathleens last blog post..Scattergories
That’s a heck of a lot of Sheep Dip there. Better make sure Lucy is your DD. Feel better fast.
Candis last blog post..If at first you don’t succeed…..
Hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself-
Feel better soon. Being too sick to knit is really sick.
feel better soon! being sick stinks 🙁 what’s sheep dip?
Oh dear. 4 bottles of whiskey sick? That’s bad. I’ve never been more than 2 bottles of whiskey sick.

Here’s to kicking sinuses in their butt! I’ve only ever had one sinus infection and really, I think I’d rather have dual appendectomy and tonsillectomy surgery over that infection!
I’m hoping Lucy’s beautiful fur keeps you not only warm, but protected from germs 😀
ajdurys last blog post..Here’s The Part Where I Babble:
I hope you feel better fast. Sinus infections make you feel so wiped out. I second the notion you need chicken soup in your food stash.
(And those therabead reusable packs that are heated in the microwave and then applied to your face as you lay down work wonderfully to help drain. A gross but necessary stage.)

Oh, good golly. When your name starts with C and you’re asked for a four-letter word right off, the whole game goes downhill fast! Also, as it turns out, “candy” and “coke” can answer a good number of the questions.
Sorry to hear you are sick. I have a sore throat, sneezes & coughing. It has to be the weather.
I also wondered about the Sheep Dip but have come to the conclusion it is whiskey from the other comments.
Love the photos of Lucy. She is precious.
Ta…Judy
lol…since when is Sheep Dip comfort food? Since it’s booze!
and being “wounded, mortally” is an excellent excuse.
It’s the Neti Pot for you girl – makes a huge difference in comfort and dislodging of noxious wastes from the sinuses. There are thos of us who are sworn to it for life. Plus you can keep in in your shower and not drip all over yourself elsewhere.
Well, comfort food and a warm kitty … what more could you ask for. I have Blu the dog here on the sofa with me, sound asleep and curled up around my legs. His snores are soothing.
Oh, all right … I’ll play the game just this once:

Dear Wendy –
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Just wanted to let you know what all the beautiful pictures of the Bohus sweaters – especially your finished one – have inspired me to try one. I have ordered Azalea and can’t wait till it gets here so that I can cast one. After all, one can never have too many sweaters with this nasty winter we’re having – even if it’ll be NEXT winter by the time I’m done!
Okay, I’ll play!

Hope you’re feeling better, Wendy. Take care and snuggle up with Lucy–that’s good medicine!!
Dear Wendy,
I am sending well wishes to you. When you do not write I have to realize you are very sick. I am hoping Lucy is there by your side and wishing you well also. I recently traveled to the DC area and being from Wisconsin dressed warmly, however the cold temps and wind made me feel like a frozen statue. Keep warm and put the sheep dip in some hot tea. A hot toddy was a cure all in the grandparents era. Maybe you should take up those old remedies. I saw the pictures.
Well wishes…….whooooooosh to you

hope you’re feeling better soon!!

Wow, I have been reading your blog for over 2 years, I don’t recall you ever missing two posts, other than being out of town. I certainly hope you feel much better. Oh….something from the bathroom good for sinus infections, that starts with an A is actifed.
Miss you! I know you don’t totally miss a day of blogging without being REALLY sick, so you must be wretched. I hope you feel better soon.
I hope Dr. Lucy is taking care of you. Feel better.
Wow, that’s a LOT of Sheep Dip! Hope you’re feeling better, and soon! We miss you! Meanwhile, I’ll play along:

Lorraines last blog post..Brought to You By The Letter "L"
Wow, are you feeling alright yet? The lack of blog posts is not a good sign of how you are feeling. I hope you kick whatever nasty bug you’ve acquired soon. Being sick for that long is a drag. Long-distance hugs to you(don’t wanna catch what you’ve got) and Miss Lucy, of course.
Okay – that’s making me want to sit down with a nice scotch! But I don’t have a good excuse. And I have to agree with the neti pot idea – I swear by it. Love the meme so here goes:
