Oh lord have I been sick. I caught whatever has been going around and by Sunday night all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and sleep. Since I’m here alone I had lots of time to wander around the house trying to remember what I got up for. Ie: the vicks vaporub or more kleenex for my ever drippy nose. I also had plenty of time to figure out how long my dead body would lay here before somebody came to check on me, 24 hours! However, she made up for it by bringing my chicken souped out stomach McDonalds and my atrophied brain her laptop. So I’m not feeling near as sorry for myself as I was, boohoo. I guess I’ll probably survive. Whine, bitch, moan.
We had a terrific Thanksgiving and I’m thankful I didn’t get sick in the middle of that. We ended with no turkey leftovers at all. Even though I cooked a 20 pound turkey. Where were you Doc? Aw well maybe for Christmas. I’ll make that one a twenty-five pounder if you come.
Hopefully we’ll be getting our computer back from the doctor soon. We will have a new motherboard and two new ram chips. All with lifetime warranty, we are also getting a battery backup power source. Our electricity has the annoying habit of clicking off for a second, just enough to wreak havoc with the computer and all the clocks. The clocks can be reset but it plays hell with the computer.
Before I completely run out of energy i’ll close, I have alot of catch up reading. Hope everyone has had a good week. DON’T GET WHAT I GOT!!
EDIT update: Notagoose reminded me of a promise I made my best friend make. When I die and before all the relatives descend on the house she has to come and clean it so I won’t be embarassed wherever I am. And believe me I’ll know if she doesn’t keep her promise and I’ll haunt her for years. YEARS, people.

I’ll be going for a flu shot tommorow. I’m the only one in the house who hasn’t done it.
If you have any Turkey left over from Christmas you can mail me some Turkey Jerky!
I hope you feel better soon.

Emily-mom, I have a question! I am wanting to change my site name and was told to ask you about teh Xanga Gods, so that I may contact them and ask their divine intervention.
I love you mommy!!! I hope you get better soon and I’ll be home soon just to be there to find your dead body before the 24 hour mark. Love you!!
awwww….that sounds very much like what a co-worker had Monday. She, her son and her daughter have all had it.
Thanks platypus, I promise not to decompose to badly before you get here!
Awwww…..I hope you feel better soon.
And I don’t know if my boot leaks (I guess you realise I’m talking about the trunk, I think that’s what you guys call it)…it’s so smashed up that it won’t open.
oh, I love witnessing all this mother-daughter love!
‘hope you’re up and sassin’ your girls real soon!
Sorry to hear you’ve been sick..I’ve had the “How long would it take before someone found my dead body?” question run through my mind on many occasions..In my case, I figure I’d have to wait for the stench of my rotting flesh to interfere with the other tenants’ enjoyment of life. A few weeks, perhaps? Very sad, I know. Usually, though, my concern is more along the lines of “What would people think when they found my apt. in this messy condition??” Glad you’re feeling a bit better.
Good idea to fly, but won’t work for several reasons. The cost is prohibitive, the inconvience factor outrageous, public transport is non-existant in many of the places I intend to visit (my family are in the country) so I’d have to rely on others to get me from point A to point B half the time, and I was planning to go hiking in some National Parks on the way back from Melbourne. And, on the way I have organised to detour and catch up with some friends in Canberra. Without a car, very little of that will be possible. There are very few times when I desperately need my car, but I will need it for my break over Christmas. Otherwise there is no point taking the holidays I have been looking forward to so much. Still…if the guy who hit my car gets the paperwork going quickly enough (yes, I’m hassling already!), hopefully she’ll be fighting fit again in time.
Thankee Em-mom!
ROFLMAO! What a great promise, what’d you have to offer her to make her agree to that?!
Sorry to hear that you have been sick. Being under the weather is the worst. Yeah, I wrote the poem. I’m glad you liked it
go ahead and delete it.
Hope you feel better soon!

That’s a shame that you’re so under the weather. I do hope you’re feeling much better in the days ahead. At least you had a pleasant Thanksgiving.
Good luck with your revamped computer!
