I have been down with a nasty nasty throat bug for the past 3 days, but I am still alive. My home (from now on called the Powerhouse) is now even. 3 females (the two cats and one dog) and 3 males (BooDaddy, The Rex Monday and myself). It all started on Friday when Rex moved from Logan to Woodridge..in the rain and snow. Boo was down with the cold all weekend. It caught up to me on Monday. Today is my first full day back at work.
Saturday, though…Boo and I made it out to Jimbo’s for the pre-Blowoff party. As Jimbo mentioned, we didn’t actually go to Blowoff. Wasn’t feelin’ it. We opted for home instead. Among the crowd at Jimbo’s … Mable, HairyBuggahSean, Ryan, Chrisafer, Bubbles, Clickboo, Clickboo’s man, and a few other people I hadn’t met before. It was a nice time and good to get Boo out of the house into some fresh air. And yes, TJ, I noticed you weren’t there…but considering which weekend it was, I didn’t question it. So no…I didn’t ask after you even when Jimbo tried calling.
Sunday saw the innagural Powerhouse dinner. After a very late morning of grocery shopping, Boo made London Broil and Rex made damn near the best taters ever ever. Bubbles & Chrisafer made yummy cawwots and brought bread & wine. Then we all watched Battlestar Gallactica and The Dresden Files before we all retired.
Monday…. Aint nothin like the taste of bronchial fluid in the mornin, yall. You know the taste. Not quite sinus, not quite milk phlegm. Well anyway, it has been the taste in style since Monday and it isn’t all gone yet. I was laid out all day. Between then and now I have downed copious (if that’s the word you want to use) amounts of Tylenol PM, Nyquil, Mucinex, Benadryl, Tramadol and liquids. Mind you, liquids can come in the form of beer, wine, rum, vodka, water, oj and truckloads of tea. But I’ll tell ya if there is anything better during a cold than a little red wine, show it to me.
Tuesday saw The Matrix Trilogy, learning more about my cat Merrick the Gargoyle…dinner with Chrisafer & Bubbles at Logan Tavern where Bubbles got the call from my employer *crossing fingers for another referral bonus….nowhammynowhammySTOP*, and a nice cap-off to the night with Little Miss Sunshine, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, and the original Legend of Zelda on my Wii.
I am introducing an Everyone Votes series on my site soon. The questions are going to be fantastic at best, but I have my reasons for asking them. Specifically to remind us that stranger things could happen…and to think about what if they did?
There is a hot Italian guy in the subway this morning…I almost feel back to my sex-crazed self again.
 I’m not going out in Paris Hilton style or anything…but yeah, you get the idea. We’ve all been there.
