You know that saying “to give 110%”? I’ve always thought it was sort of ridiculous, because no way can one person give 110%. Two people, yes, if they share in the effort. In that case, dividing 110% would even allow both parties leisure time to sit on the couch and eat nacho cheese Doritos.
Like this guy. Although he appears to be giving 99% effort to whatever's on TV.
In the past few weeks, though, I think I’ve proven myself wrong. It IS possible to give 110%! And without really trying! That sounds like it should be the title of a musical.
I have mono. Which makes me 100% useless.
On top of that, I have strep throat. Which is the extra 10%.
Sheeeeeeeeeeesh.
For four days I really didn’t eat or drink anything because my throat burned like the fires of hell. On day five, I was determined to eat some real food. And I found two slices of bread plus a hunk of cheddar cheese in my fridge. You know what this means!
Grilled Cheese Sammie!
Unfortunately, I wore myself out making the sandwich and had to lie down and rest for ten minutes before I could eat it. By then, the sammie was cold.
My boyfriend found this utterly hilarious. I did not.
Feel free to stop by with fruit popsicles, frozen yogurt, or fettuccine alfredo. Mmm. Fettuccine. I’ll be here. On the couch.
