I don't get it

D and I just got back from Mexico last week
D has a compromised immune system
and yet, I am not rushing to the store to stockpile supplies, buying hand sanitizer and face masks by the dozen
I just don't get why everyone is panicking

Statistically, I'm more likely to get killed on my way to work than to die of this flu. Yet, I drive to work every single day, along with millions of others. No one is panicking about that, are they?
What purpose does it serve to freak out?

email from my boss

I emailed him from Cozumel, he's very new to emails, usually I do all his correspondence for him
here was the reply he sent, which I just got when I got home

With this address, I am not sure this a mystery admirer from Cozumel or my valued ssistant on vacation. I will assume it is you and I am happy to hear that yall are having a great time. All is well here as I am now bidding XXXXX (top secret job). I will be looking forward to your return because I do not like typing and besides it is not the same without you. Say hello to D and I hope all of you have the best time ever.

is that not the sweetest?

I know I'll never love this way again

When Huevos & Ricky died, I truly believe I would never love another cat the way I loved those two. After 18 years it was hard to imagine ever feeling the depth of connection I had with them again. I liked Cricket & Faith and thought they were ok, as far as cats go, but they weren't my boys.
Then Faith started worming her way in, jumping on my lap to be petted, always laying next to me in my chair. I started to grow fonder of her until one day I caught myself looking at her picture on Catbook and missing her while I was at work.
But Cricket was a bigger challenge. She had a hard go of it when we first got her because Ricky was still around and he was old, sick and grumpy. And, of course, he demanded my attention an my loyalty. So Cricket became daddy's girl.
I've been brushing Faith every morning on the bathroom counter, it's our little routine. A couple weeks ago, Cricket decided to join us. Every morning my girls wait their turns for some brushing and attention. And they've started sleeping with me, too. Faith sleeps on my head an Cricket sleeps on a pillow next to the window. I love waking up and seeing their furry little selves. I've really missed that.
This morning I realized I love them both dearly and I will truly miss them while we are on vacation next week. I think Ricky & Huevos would approve.

was this rude?

A vendor just called, making chit chat, which I hate anyway
he said "did you get plenty to eat at Easter"
I said "didn't celebrate"
silence
"oh, didn't celebrate, ok"

was I rude?


maybe I should have said "well, my husbands ex pitched a fit so we got uninvited to Easter dinner with the kids, then I got a bad stomach ache from some soup I had at lunch so my husband had cheese & crackers for Easter dinner"

family drama

family drama, again
apparently J (D's ex) actually speaking to me at the bridal shower yesterday was a fluke
today she pitched a fit and managed to get us uninvited to Easter at T's house
I'm fucking sick of this, we are easy going, never make demands, don't mind being in the same place as her and SHE is the one who gets to be with the family while we eat frozen fucking pizza because I made no plans
N let T have it over the whole not wanting to upset her mother crap and T ended up calling her dad, crying. Of course, that still doesn't mean we are there, with our family, nope J gets to be there instead.

Most Romantic Husband

Today is our 7th anniversary. To celebrate, D wanted to go to THE most expensive restaurant in town, in fact he made reservations. I vetoed that idea and he rose to the challenge. While I was napping, he got online and googled restaurants in the area, reading menu's and reviews. He ended up making us reservations at an amazingly intimate little place with fantastic food. We lingered over our meal and had a fabulous time.
Being the die hard romantics that we are, we are now both in the living room on our laptops.

Pirates

N just emailed me to ask if the cruise ship captain being held by pirates was anywhere near where our cruise was going next week.
I'd forgotten what life is like when you don't watch the news.

I'm famous

I love twitter
so far, I've been followed by the weatherman, charter cable, priceline and island records
charter cable cracks me up the most though, I tweeted in reply to someone else talking about hating them, that they were my arch nemesis and u matter 2 charter contacted me like 10 seconds later

That might explain things

My Dr. just called with my blood test results...looks like I might have hypothyroid
the tests weren't clear, one test showed something but another test didn't so he said we'll recheck in 3 months
that would certainly explain the depression and lethargy, though

srsly funny

ok, so yeah, I don't really blog anymore
I spend my time on Facebook now & Twitter

this is a hysterical facebook version of the Israelites departing Egypt
