Homesick...for simple good food!

Last Week:
It was a rough week. Illness overtook my body, and unfortunately when I'm sick that usually means I can't eat either.

Its the worst feeling, being sick and not being at home with your mom or dad. Whenever I get ill in college I miss home the most; Mom hovering over me with a glass of water and a thermometer. When I was able to eat I always had soup, tea, maybe even a grilled cheese!

This last week I had no mommy to take care of me. I attempted to rely on some friends...not the same. I craved the simple goodness of hot tea made for me. And, when I was finally able to eat something I wanted grilled cheese the way my mom makes it. Alas, there was no soup or grilled cheese, just a steady diet of water and tea.

Just a thought; does it seem like when you get sick at college it takes longer to recover than when you get sick at home? I think this happens because there is an absence of help and care from the familiar.

That stinks. I absolutely hate getting sick at school. And I agree, grilled cheese is delicious when you begin to feel better.
I hope you are felling better!

Aww man..I love grilled cheese and tomato soup! I haven't had that since I was home either... =[

i totally agree! But my favorite would have to be a honey turkey sandwich. But the soup here is not bad.

Maybe you could have compared and contrasted the different flavors of cough syrups while you were sick...
