As a scholar of English Literature (complete with a green tube… I mean, degree written in Latin!), I am totally within my rights to facilitate the above.

Today I accomplished 2 out of the 3 things on my to-do list.
However, during the day, I completely forgot I’d written a to-do list.

I haven’t been grocery shopping in 2010 yet. I’ve run out for milk, tissues and cold medicine, but no real food shopping has occurred between being sick and being slammed at work after being sick slowed me down for 2 full weeks. My little part-time project has exploded in ways that just increase my workload. I’m ending some of my days completely fried. I guess my work life is back to normal, right?

The mini-cats are growing up. They are now truly more mini-cat than kitten. We get glimpses of kitten but their features are growing into cat features. They still haven’t learned that my desk is not actually a wrestling ring. In fact, quite the contrary! And when I’m on the phone my desk is even more appealing as a wrestling ring. Luckily they also like to nap on our desks so we get calm kitten time as well. Tasha is quite the little love bug when it suits her, which is rather more often than it suits Abby. They are still quite content to sleep attached to Tennyson, much to his chagrin. The Monster Cat Containment Systems are getting quite the work out too. We have witnessed many sleeping cat-piles and have wondered many times, “How can that be comfortable?”

IMG_5599I am, indeed, ready for some winter again. Birka is this weekend!!! We’re leaving Friday morning so we can get to NH in time for dinner with my brother, Kirsten and Juli Friday night. This time holiday traffic will not bog us down! This time the drive will be the appropriate number of hours! Right? For anyone going to Birka, we’re in the main hotel and will see you this weekend!

This is all assuming I can survive the week and get to Birka. Piece of cake if nothing else major explodes. Fingers are crossed.

Yes, we’re a little late today. Later than usual. Work is a little crazy and I’m still sick. I am really done being sick, quite frankly, and I wish my body would listen.

Sadly, such fierceness does not work when Tenny wants to fight off the mini-cats. In fact, such fierceness rarely works, but don’t tell him that. It’s too cute to watch him try.

As expected, the doctor today told me I was doing everything right and that I should keep at it to kick this “very nasty virus” that has stolen my voice. I have a little voice back today, actually… I’m trying to use it sparingly because it still feels easily strained. The doctor was highly amusing. She offered but did not push prescription cough suppressants (eeeeeek! codeine!). I think I’ll keep her for a while.

That’s really all I’ve got today besides a headache from so much coughing. TTFN!
