I've had this cold for five days and it's not letting up - was up half the night coughing. I'm going to have to miss Palm Sunday mass. Very irritated about this. Also irritated at myself for saying "Wow, I made it through the winter without a bad cold this year" a week ago.

Ginger, wishing you a fast-healing finger!

omnis, glad to hear the gala was successful. Now, take comfort in Fluffy?

Seska, health~ma. And again, to Ginger as well.

Lou continued to bleed a little bit this morning. We're calling the vet. My poor, idiotic dog. Doesn't make me love him any less, though.

Update: vet laughed and said it's fine, as long as he's not showing any signs of pain or discomfort. So, dog owners: if your dog runs at God-knows-how-many-mph into a post, and continues sneezing blood 12 hours later, it's probably fine.

I seriously don't get this, even though I know Louie is an anomaly.

Arrgh, Seska, get well soon.

beth, when you say you lost 3/4 of your hair, do you mean you got a really short hair cut?

Much love and health~ma to Ginger, Seska, and Lou.

The universe just needs to step off for a while, okay?

That is so true.

When does summer start?

I hope that's what she meant, otherwise I'm picturing a really strange comb over.

When does summer start?

Not here, please. Perfect weather now and all, stays under 25 C, etc..

I'd move to your country for the weather, Shir. If it weren't for, y'know, the in-laws.

Dare ya say it in June. Yes, not even in August, on which you move slowly from one a/c monitored space to another. In June.

We already had several days of 33-35C.

I am at work watching Mike Rowe Dirty Jobs DVDs. It would probably be best if I never met him, because I would do embarrassing things to him.

Sigh.
