It’s up to 20. I’m doing laundry before work.  
**Taters** , I like my coffee like I like my women. [Del]ground up and immersed in near boiling water[/del] hot, strong and bitter.

Well, I s’pose he did get on a boat for that bit, Mr Smartypants.

Soggy day here today, so didn’t do much. May go to the shops later, but I know I just want to buy cake, so it’s probably a bad idea.

Nappage has been had. Now I have a coconut custard pie in the oven. I also made up some burgers to grill for dindin. A grilled burger and some oven fries sounds like a good plan.

It’s probably going to be sloppy joes (no, **swampy,** you’re not invited) 😃 and fries for dinner here. RT is hoping to make it home tonight and insists that fries and hamburger buns must accompany sloppy joes. 😛 We’re rather informal (and lazy) here, normally we’d just eat them on a plate with some tortilla chips or something.

**Midget** , I don’t know what to tell you about ribs, but I did want to say that when I fell and tore my meniscus two years ago in the winter that I didn’t slip on any ice either. But, as far as your performances go, take it from an excessive worrier, RELAX. If they know that you’re injured, you may have to miss a few performances, but they’re not going to kick you out of the group forever. Take care of yourself and it will all work out, really. 🙂

I killded the MMP! :eek:

Burgers are grilled and stayin’ warm whilst oven fries are bakin’. I am hongry which makes me glad. Feels like I’m gettin’ over the walkin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu. I’ve been singin’ that to myself all day. 😃

I read that as “glad you’re f–king better!”  
I left work early with my flu and back.  
I need a drink.  
The cat is trying to type.

\*Soooooo \*glad this week is over. Poor \*\*FCD \*\*woke up puking and he’s been cold all day. I hope I don’t get what he’s got. We shall see.

Pizza has been ordered for supper. Bedtime will come early, at least for me. A certain canine was fussing and barking till nearly 11 last night before she quieted down, and I was awake at 4:30, so that doesn’t translate to much sleep. Dammit.

We were going to go to Glen Burnout tomorrow to get aquarium salt and look at fishies, but as sick as \*\*FCD \*\*has been, I don’t expect that to happen. But it might. They’re talking some snow again tomorrow - that may decide it for us.

TGIF anyway!!

**StickyBuns** Ninjaed my posts! 😃

Thanks for the well wishes. As for how **flytrap** interpreted it, well, let’s just say I ain’t had any complaints. 😛

**flytrap** you got the flu? ICK! I prescribe hot toddies and plenty of rest. Feel better soonest.

Dindin is et. 'Twas good. In about an hour and a half it’ll be antibiotics time which will be followed shortly by sleepy time. First I shall have a nice, long, hot soak in the jacuzzi tub. AAAAHHH!!!

Supper has been delivered and ingested. I have a little more surfing to do before I assume the position and continue working on my scrap afghan. I wonder if I have some hot chocolate mix in the pantry???

I’ve had a nice relaxatin’ soak in the tub. Felt so good! OYKW is now doin’ the same thing. No we do not bathe together. Tub ain’t big enough or we would. 😛

You need a hot tub.  
I wish we had one.

If you paid attention, you’d know that the \*\*bear \*\*has a hot tub. Not that he’s ever invited any of us to enjoy it…

I make it a point to not pay attention to the bear’s ramblings.  
Why is he complaining if he has a hot tub?  
Wuss.

I skipped having lunch out today.  
I had had chills all last night but thought I’d feel better if I got up and around. I did but something was wrong with her phone and by the time we connected to see what was up I had already eaten and it was past noon.  
I thought we may take a road trip tomorrow but I don’t know. I think it’s supposed to snow some more and heading towards WV is probably not the correct thing to do.

I can’t get warm today. I’m even wearing socks and pulling the covers over my head with just my face sticking out and I’m still cold.

I do, indeed, possess a hot tub. We do make use of it quite often. However, tonight was a soak in the jacuzzi bath tub with some nice relaxatin’ bath beads. Sometimes a soak in a tub of hot water is just the thing.
