I managed to survive the weekend. Although there were a few moments when it was a bit questionable. I am feeling better than last week, but I am still not up to 100% yet. I have a nasty cough that rattles every bone in my body as well as a three-year-old's runny nose. (Isn't that a pretty picture?) Nevertheless, I am back in the office for what may actually turn out to be a full day of work.

In better news, I did get my copy of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on Saturday. Meeting the Fedex guy downstairs was the closest I came to going outside and interacting with other humans all day. I have to admit that I was so excited about getting the book, I may have sent my recovery back a couple of days. At this point, I am about 250 pages into the book and gung ho about finishing before I have to start reading for the book club.

After spending over 48 hours in my apartment and mostly in my bed or on my couch, I got a bit stir crazy. So last night, I attempted to make fudge. (Not to be confused with the Misinter of Magic.) I got one recipe from Food Network and one from All Recipes. The first one I tried from Food Network was disgusting and BBBLLLEEECCCHH. There was nothing fudge-like about it. As a complete chocoholic, I threw the whole tray out. The second one came out much better but way to flakey. I followed the recipe to a T and I can't figure this one out. Any fudgemakers out there that can share some tips?
