Illness, I deny you!

Illness, I deny you!
Illness, I deny you!*

There.

In other news, we had a pretty great weekend: There was shopping for princessboredom; Build-a-Bear fun for the littler princesses; and new treats/training for the Dingo (who is showing cat-like proficiency in getting under my feet today). How does an 80-pound dog get underfoot? I ask you.

Particularly fun moments included:

~ PB returning from her shopping trip to show me she'd bought Birkenstocks. Ha! Yes, honey. I know they're comfy. This, after she encouraged me to change out of my saggy-baggy jeans. ::sigh::

~ Snuggly, er, snuggling with Princess Pixie, while she explained to me in astonishing detail why the toy phone we'd gotten from B-a-B was NOT the same as a REAL cell phone. Even though it's prettier.

~ Watching Princess !Kaboom in action at her gymnastics meet, which was late enough in the day that the roads were clear and try when we drove out. YAY. Wow, does she ever love this sport. And on the way home, she LOVED reading the text messages from PB, Auntie Caroline, and Daddy (who are charter subscribers to the Instant Sports Update Network). She won ever darn event and the all-around in her age division -- second place was nearly 3.5 points behind -- but the REAL glory was winning the handstand contest. Heh.

Anyway. Takin' it easy today. Drinkin' my tea and trying hard not to think too much about how much time it's taking other folks to recover from this thing which will not be named. I even had a flu shot! Ah, well.

*The illness, being a matter of science, does not care that I don't believe in it. Fook.

This would be why I haven't come by to get those end tables yet - I don't want to expose any more people to this crud than I need to. But! I gots me some antibiotics today, the virus part seems to have gone away, now it's just dealing with the secondary sinus, throat/tonsil and inner ear bacterial infections. Ah, joy.

So yeah. Point being, we should schedule a time when I can come by to get those and the ladder for zylch, if she hasn't gotten it yet herself. Maybe this weekend? Sunday morning, or afternoon before Gaia?

We've got an Open House schedule for 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, so sometime Saturday morning would work, or after about 4:30 p.m. Sunday is pretty complicated, since I'm hosting an event/feast starting at noon.

I'll be in Independence on Saturday until about 6pm at the Game Cafe running a Pirates tournament; if saturday evening is okay with you I can swing by then... if not, maybe friday evening?

Friday evening would be best. Thank you!

Cool. :) What time friday? I get off work at 530pm and I'm coming from 132nd/Metcalf...not *terribly* far from you guys, it's just dealing with the traffic...

And THANK YOU!!!! *squee*

I should be home around then, yes. I'll email you my cell phone number so we can coordinate a bit better that evening. Yay!

Flu vaccine is not having a good year reports say.

From what I can tell, this is a much milder version than many folks are experiencing (knock on wood). Feeling some better today, but it's still taking me about 87 times longer to get anything done. Ugh. :)
