By the time I rolled into the condo I was in full sore-throat mode, took some very old Nyquil and hit the bed. I just got up and it's Sunday. I didn't go to the opening at the Quilt Museum yesterday, I didn't put my sweater together that has been blocking now for 2 months, I didn't wrap the little babie's birthday presents. All I did was sleep and sneeze and sleep some more. I did get up last night and made some tea and ate that along with a freezer burned English muffin. I'm starving, I'm cold, I don't feel good yet, and I am miserable. Aren't you glad you popped in?
And oh yeah, the batteries on this keyboard are dead so I had to cannabalize every other device in the house to get it working. Now, if I want to watch tv I have to steal back the batteries. But tv watching is the least of my worries today, just moving to the other room is sapping me. And worst news, the coffee is stale.
What's to become of me? Today I'm supposed to take Nate and Jackie out for dinner and to a movie- if I do anything I'm going to skip the movie- nobody needs me hacking and blubbering next to them. Tomorrow I guess I will drive up to Ipswich and throw the birthday presents at the front yard so I don't contaminate the little family. Geesh. I haven't had a cold in years, this sucks.
And in closing, a friend sent me this from Merry Olde:
"Crown Jewels Condoms of Distinction are sold in royal purple packs of three featuring a picture of the prince and bride-to-be. However, anyone lying back and thinking of England should be warned that they come with a disclaimer: they are a "novelty condom not suitable for contraception or protection against STDs".
"protection against STDs"????? That's just what you all need, protection against me! Send for yours right away.

I feel like such a horrible person. Oh, I am really, really sorry that you have a cold...but yesterday I was ENVYING! you because you were going to the opening of No Holds Barred (that I didn't get into). I had actually flirted briefly with bagging the dinner party last night and making a fast trip to Lowell and back. Now I'm sorry I envied you and I'm really glad I didn't give in to my impulse. Call for some Chinese chicken soup to be delivered and go back to bed. Take care of yourself...and BTW just why would you buy condoms that were not suitable for contraception or protection? Are they just for decoration? Boy, I'm from the wrong generation.
awwww feel better - wish I could send you some chicken soup. Better yet - order some in!
Get well soon!
