My pick-me-ups include vacationing, shopping and eating sugary treats! It just depends how big of a pick me up is needed at the time as to which I do. Oh and a little thing called money.
This last weekend I was having a few pangs of homesickness so it was time for a small scale pick-me-up. Because I'm English nothing offers comfort from homesickness like a nice hot cup of tea. Tea is not complete without something to dunk in it though as any true English person will tell you.
So I decided to whip up a batch of oatmeal and raisin cookies. They're my absolute favorite cookie especially since I found this great recipe here. They seem so wholesome and hearty. I love the spice of the cinnamon and the super sweet raisins. This recipe produces perfectly crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside cookies!
They were delicious. Luckily for me {and my waistline} my boyfriend ate most of them!
Unfortunately I might be needing to bake another batch pretty soon because I'm sick. On Tuesday morning I woke up and the world started spinning when I tried to stand up. I thought I just had head rush but every time I moved my forward or backwards it set off the spinning sensation again. Obviously I headed to the doctor right after I'd finished my {very stationary} day at work. He told me I have positional vertigo which means whenever I move I get that head rush feeling. It's a lot like being drunk but without the fun part. It'll take at least a week to go away but could be longer. I also told the doctor I've had a bit of an on-going cough and he gave me a check up and told me I have bronchitis. So now I'm taking a pile of pills each day and hoping I'll get better soon. In the meantime I'm going to make the most of having a valid excuse for needing to eat cookies and these....
Every cloud has a silver lining. You might not see it at first but take a look and you'll find it!
