Well, the sneezing and coughing have turned productive, but I still feel mildly like crap. I’m going to see if Big Boss will let me go home early. If he won’t Detailed AGM will, especially after I use up six boxes of tissues. Doesn’t look good if the GSA is hacking up her lungs all over the place. Good thing I put my co-irkers on high “Wipe Down Everything With Germicidal Cleaner” Alert on Sunday. Oh, and happy birthdays Rebo and Deathmistress. That’s all the enthusiasm I can muster up. Time for another spoonful of honey. ---

Big Boss let me go home early. I guess all that coughing and sniffling is good for something besides giving me a raw nose and throat. **{{{{wetone}}}** I can’t imagine what losing an animal you’ve had for 25 years is like. I only had The Sainted Petercat for about thirteen years, but it was bad enough losing him. Off to drink hot tea till I float away. ---

**{{{WetOne}}}** , I’m so sorry about Bob. Happy birthday to **DeathMistress** and **Rebo**!! Today is shaping up to be very slow, but I knew that was going to happen. However, my printer is being a jerk, and I don’t want to say anything to IT because I think it’s just thinking for a really long time and if they touch it, they’ll break _everything_. ---

**Happy Baker Day!** and of course, **Happy Rebo Day!** **(((((Wetone)))))**, nothing else to say really. It has been a quiet day over here at Casa Boo, not been feeling that great so activity has been kept to a minimum. I ventured out for groceries so the fridge is stocked for a bit longer, and I have also managed half an hour of relatively gentle exercise but nothing more than that. Got to kick these germs out, I have three of the next four nights out with friends so I cannot be moping around on the sofa like a Victorian heroine with a fit of the vapours… Happy new year, mumpers! ---

**Drae** yay for go home early time! Ima hang for at least an hour and a half longer but I shall have go home early time as well. **BooFae** nuttin’ wrong with a good old fashioned case of the vapors, or vapours, if you will. 😃 **{{{wetone}}}** I said this already in your thread about Bob, but I am sorry for your loss. Bob had a long, wonderful, and much loved life because of you. ---

Happy birthday for thems what’s having one, and happy new year to everyone! I’m off out to work shortly, as I do now have a shift tonight (as well as the footy tomorrow morning :eek: ). It probably won’t be as late as I thought though, the venue closes 2am, and it’s a pub in a small place outside the city, so hopefully it won’t be too messy (I’m hoping those planning a big night will be coming into the centre). {{ **Peedin** }} ---

I tries to post but I get 408 TIMEOUT or is it 804 TIMEOUT Most annoying never knowing what will or will not time out. So last load of laundry is in washer and other load is in dryer. I had only two loads today. Sah-son will put the last load in the dryer for me and carry them all upstairs. I should have gone grocery shopping today but I didn’t feel like it. It’ll wait until Thursday. Friday is supposed to be cold so I want to go before then. Pizza has been ordered, delivered and eaten. I had my window open for a bit today until the wind picked up and it got too chilly. I cleaned my room and I feel better. An aired out clean room always makes me feel better. I wish Sah-dog would let me replace his bed but he loves the ragged old thing and refuses to sleep on anything new. Since the mice seem to be gone I got rid of all the traps and poison in my room. The dishwasher got fixed so no more boiling water to wash dishes by hand YAY! However water is still coming up from between the boards when you walk on the kitchen floor. We still have towels everywhere and the fans blowing. ---
