A (not so) Happy 4th of July

I'm not exactly in the grilling, chilling, watching fireworks mode you'll find much of the country in on Independence day.  I'm more in the moaning, groaning, resting as much as I can state of mind.

Why?

Because I have found myself with a brutal gastrointestinal bug on this sunny July day.  I'll spare you the ugly details.  At least I can't blame it on bad seafood this time.

So while others enjoy their hotdogs and potato salad and fireworks displays; I will be exercising my freedom to consume sips of clear chicken soup and seltzer water between naps on the couch.

I do wish all of you a very happy 4th of July.  And I hope you're enjoying your day.

Maybe save me some watermelon for when I feel better?
