I need a break from working. No, I’m not at work but I am working, from home. I’m entering telephone directory information into an excel sheet. I have to do this once a month so our parent company can feed the information to their website. It’s the most boring, tedious thing I do on a regular basis and I hate it! I’ve got four more to do but I need a break.

A few minutes ago I took a break and gave the cats some catnip. I nearly got a picture of all four of them together but the phone rang and scared them all. *sigh* so I missed my chance. Giving them all catnip is the only time I can get all four of them together. Of course once they all get “high” they start fighting over the catnip. Kenny likes to hog it all, Sally just gets irritable and Casper usually starts a fight with Kenny because he wants Kennys catnip. Vicki usually wanders off when they start getting mean to one another. Now they’re all lazy. Casper is still sniffing around for catnip, Kenny is in his tower in front of the open window and Vicki is chilling in an office chair behind me. Sally is, well, I don’t know where the hell Sally went.

Casper growls every time the phone rings, hehe. He can be in a completely different room and hear the phone and he growls. I feel the same way about phone’s Casper. 🙂

Yepp, I’m still sick. Lets take a look at my days of sickness shall we? Sunday, severe sore throat. Monday-Wednesday- Couldn’t breathe through my nose. Wednesday night-present fatigue and lingering bronchitis like cough, sore throat and chest from coughing. THIS SUCKS!!! I can’t do anything without coughing and I can’t exactly use a cough suppressant because I’m coughing shit up and you’re not supposed to take a cough suppressant if you’re coughing shit up, you want to get that shit out of your lungs. Hubby is sick too now, he’s in the sore throat, stuffy nose stage. He’s sitting over at his desk doing his homework. He has to go to school tonight, review for finals, I feel REALLY sorry for him. I was hoping he wouldn’t catch this but no such luck.

I’m happy that I have my brainpower back. When I get sick I can’t focus on anything, I’m sure my entries lately have reflected that. I wasn’t even able to focus on a damned computer game at the beginning of the week, I was getting REALLY bored but at least now I can work and play games and stuff. Yippee.

Well, not much else going on, it’s a cool rainy day here in CT.

I did have some fun dreams last night.

#1 – I dreamt they started making a pool heater for the pathetipool that we bought.

#2 – I dreamt that Hubby was cooking lunch for everyone in the cafeteria at work and he asked if I would help him. When I started helping him he said he’d be right back and never came back. People were ordering and fucking with me. One guy asked for a ratburger and I told him I assumed he would like a “HAMburger”.

There were some other one’s too but I’ll be damned if they didn’t slip my mind.

I remember being awoken by the sound of the trash truck outside this morning and thinking to myself “Oh, that must be Sara’s schoolbus.” Huh?? Sara doesn’t ride a schoolbus, she’s our dog! hehe, I woke up a little more and realized it was the trash truck. I think the schoolbus thing came from playing “The Sims” last night before bed. A schoolbus comes for the kids in the morning and stuff in that game.

Well, I guess that’s really it this time. I’ll finish up my work and send it out, then make a grocery list for tomorrow. Hauling my sick ass to the grocery store should be fun tomorrow. Hubby prolly won’t go with me cuz he prolly won’t feel up to it. I shouldn’t be contagious anymore or anything at least.

Well, I’m out!
