This is my first week back to work after being hammered by pneumonia, and I may have actually started back a little too early. I still tire very easily, am constantly dehydrated no matter how much I drink and I have random sweats, but no fever. However, I was suffering pretty badly from cabin fever, so at least I feel a bit like a normally functional human being by returning to the ‘real world’.
Awaiting me in that real world are two lawns badly in need of cutting and and a short list of household chores that slowly grew in my convalescence. Being sick is the worst.
Still, there are things to look forward to in my near future. For example, our tickets to this weekend’s TFC match also admit us to the CNE for no extra charge, so assuming we can find a babysitter, it’s a relatively cheap afternoon/evening out for us. I assume I’ll feel well enough to brave the Zipper with a bellyful of deep-fried delights. Of particular interest is the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger, which is exactly what it sounds like; a cheeseburger served between two donuts.
Rumour has it that The Arkells will be playing a free show later on in the CNE’s run, so if anyone is interested in heading down there to check them out, let me know. Since the CNE marks the unofficial end of summer here in Toronto, why not celebrate it with a great outdoor rock concert and some food that will help fatten you up for the long winter to come.
