And SockDreams.

Man, I've had the thigh-high stripey socks page open in a tab for maybe 2 weeks. I loves them, but I can't really justify buying them, because I wouldn't wear them. I'm not going to wear shorts (or a skirt) around the house in winter just to wear long socks.

And yet I still have that page open. [link]

Buy them! If you've got a tab open for two weeks, then it'll make you happy.

That's a fuckin' rule.

We've both been whispering "pitcher of margaritas" to each other for the past week

Aw, are you guys the cutest? I think so! Love.

Tom and I have been in bed all day. Lest you think I'm bragging, it's because we are too sick to move. Watched a bunch of Newsradio on the netbook, ate about 8 saltines, a half cup of applesauce, 1 glass of apple juice, and 1 glass of ginger ale. Also a bunch of water.

It's been a long, long time since I've been this sick. This sucks.

Oh, and smonster, you motivated me to scoop the litter box (which was a bit of a challenge considering my ribs ache like a mofo, but it's right near our bed so it was a quality of life thing.) so thanks!

Also, is your cat OK?

I asked for a Sock Dreams gift certificate for Christmas, but no dice. I did get some money, but it needs to go towards other things.

Aw, are you guys the cutest? I think so! Love.

Hee.

{{{Nora & Tom}}} I hate how sick everyone here has been lately. I hope everyone feels better soon.

I've worn the thigh highs under jeans even. Awesome for very cold days. And under skirts for just normal cold days. The stripy is just a private bonus.

The one awesome thing about having to board both my cats was that the boxes were just as clean as I left them when we all got home. Made cleaning them before I left a nice treat to come home to find. The unawesome thing was paying for all of the boarding. The prices we accept paying to have pets...

So it looks like my oldest sister is failing. The doctor is talking days or weeks. My middle sister, who is in Pennsylvania, is heading out to California on Friday, which is the first flight she can get after the snowpocalypse. I simply don't have the means, and to be honest, I can't bear the idea of being another person Sharon and her husband have to cope with at such a time. I know I should be thinking more in terms of being family and not someone to cope with, but she and my middle sister have been in constant contact all this time, visiting back and forth. I have a deep dread of being in the way and making a difficult time harder. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm not. I'm glad Linda is going out, and I've sent my love with her.

I'm sorry you are in an odd tought place at t heis time Connie

I'm sorry, Connie. What a terrible situation.
