Ill

I am at home. A shocking head cold, coupled with the first period I have had in ten years without the comforting barrier of artificial hormones has wiped me out.

Well, technically it is the strong painkillers I have taken that have knocked me out, but who is splitting hairs? Not me.

So I am snuggled on the sofa in my woolly blanket and whichever cats feel like a cuddle - that is one of the great things about having six cats is that there is always a furry hotwater bottle to be had. There aren't that many great things about having six cats that you wouldn't get with a more normal number of beasticles, but that is one.

I have to look after the Boy this evening as my parents need to take their dog to the emergency vets. I'm not looking forward to it, but I suspect Sam is looking forward to his appointment even less. Still, it is only for a couple of hours and then I can return to bed.

So from my sofa, I raise my cup of tea to all of you who don't have the luxury of taking time off sick and have to get on with it. Because the kidlets are getting on with it.

And you want human attachments, you say?

Glad you can take some time off - you don't have to deal with the Baron's idiot family, do you? Hope the Boy has some compassion tonight and takes it easy on you!

Yes. Because you get on with things when you have to - I don't have to, so I can wallow!

I'm fairly sure I can handle human attachments. Been there already with the Boy, and six cats are good for practicing on in the meantime.

The Boy was a little angel in DMs (to match my boots). He is on a Dennis the Menace kick so read his comics all evening. My little thug.

The Baron's family were here for half an hour and I made them smoke in the garden.

So I didn't have too much to cope with, and they know better than to mess with me anyway.

Okay, that was not fair. It made me want to change my mind about having kids for a second!

Feel better very soon!

Yes, unless you have totally gone off the deep end, which can be quite easy if one were to let herself, may I add, then you do have to get on with things when you have human attachments.

Wallowing comes far and few between for the most serious of those with human attachments. Heh.

Not to be confused with shower procrastination and bon bon eating and soap opera watching.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say there, Evil One.

Who knows? I certainly don't.
