I've got nothing to say for myself for being awol for 2 solid weeks... except that I'm lucky I called in sick & not dead lol. A few days after my last post, the FLU struck... I've never had the honest to goodness flu before. Most people get a tummy bug & call it the flu, but it's not (a point which always annoys me ;) I've been at it for 10 days now, and finally can say I think I'm going to live.
Obviously, sweet bugger all got done in those two weeks... although the couch cushion in my favourite spot was well warmed... and the pantry was emptied of chicken soup... and I consumed ALL the garlic & horseradish capsules. Also much codral cold & flu was consumed, because fuck feeling miserable, give me codeine and lots of nuclear powered stuff to make me feel better is my strategy after a couple of days of the death..

In the middle of me dying, my 11yo Frodo most inconveniently required some urgent dental work for a sneaky abscess that was hanging out without causing pain or anything... we just thought his filling fell out (which it did, but the ouchie was underneath it apparently). Luckily it was on hubby's day off, so I could lay on the couch and continue dying lol. Weird child got a little upset when they TOOK the teeth (they took 2 because an adult tooth couldn't get in) he had no pain afterwards hardly at all... my son the freak of nature.
I got a call a couple of days ago offering us a spot for his tonsillectomy... NEXT WEEK. He's been on a wait list so we're taking it... but holy no friggin time to plan batman!?!? Chaos shall ensue. I will make an attempt to pop in on occasion chatter on about whatever happens to wander through my mind :) but no promises... because it's gonna be a long couple of weeks!
For him, organizing a new 3ds game to give him something to take his mind off his misery, a couple of books, and a hospital bag with new pj's, a bathrobe & slippers and such :) For me... books to read while he sleeps in hospital (we'll be there at least 24hrs), a cross stitch project to work on, and a lovely friend who's offered to pop over and hang out for a while with a coffee while we're on lock-down in the ward!
Now, if you'll pardon me, this witchy chick has a fair bit of REAL sleep to catch up on, so it's off to snuggle up with my dear kitty
