I spent the day in the Urgent Care Clinic. I seems I have a bad case of the real flu - throwing up uncontrolably and such. So, form about 10 until 4 that's where we were. Fun day. Apparently, there were 4 or 5 other cases of flu in there today. I just thought I had too much fun over the weekend, but, nope, doc says it's flu. I'm still nausious and haven't slept in much too long.

NOT HAPPY!

:mad:

NA~ That sounds awful! Cuddle up with the kitties and get well soon.

I just got up from my nap. I only have 2 Monkeys. No mass invasion today, which is nice. They seem to have been taking turns. When 1 Monkey leaves another Monkey shows up.

The rain seems to only be hitting here at night. The last few days have been beautiful, sunny and upper 60's. Right now the storm seems to be moving in, the winds are picking up and the sky is wonderfully dark.
The weather has also cleaned up the air, the Kern Canyon has snow on the top, we can also see Tehachapi with snow. Even the Grapevine is nice and clear.

This has been a nice weekend, very lazy. Tomorrow I am taking my 3 (HA) boys to see Son of the Mask. I only wanted to take the LM, but I had promised the other 2 I would take them too.

Ay Carumba! I'm sending good vibes your way to help you get better.

Here goes...

Hang in there. :)

THank you one and all. This is the THIRD time I've been sich with some sort of fluish thing. I really must stop it. I don't like having IV's and such.

Me too. It's the needle into the top of my hand that bugs me. It just feels wrong.

Ralphie had the flu, too. But strangely enough (knock on wood) I haven't got it yet. His lingered as well.

:coffee: <----hot tea with lemon & honey

It was a beautiful day today. I recall reading somewhere that we've had less rain this month than we did last July. Apparently we shipped all our rain to CA. That's what you get for shipping your lousy drivers north!

Today we went to the Aquarium. I haven't been in ages. My friend and co-worker volunteers there and we got to hear her do her spiels on harbor seals, northern fur seals, and sea otters. One of the northern fur seals is 24 and the oldest one in captivity anywhere. She's blind and spends lots of time sort of standing on her head with her flippers sticking out of the water. No one knows why. We got to feel various pelts, too. Sea otter pelt is possibly the most luxurious thing I've ever felt. No wonder they're endangered.

Also rode the waterfront streetcar 'cause it's been a long time since we've done that. Stopped at Krispy Kreme on the way home for no good reason.

Boris tried escaping out the front door when I opened it. Took off down the walk and crossed in front of the garage. Now he's sitting in front of the front door crying because he wants to go have an adventure and mean mommy won't let him. It's really quite annoying. Silly feline. He keeps forgetting that he's a fraidy-cat.

I think the Dr. needs to prescribe you some down time with your King of Swank on some warm, tropical beach somewhere...

I recall vaguely something about the healing powers of suntan oil and Mai Tai's!

Hey NA, I'm sending swanky "get well" vibes your way...

It's been a very up and down weekend up here as well. I spent all day yesterday at "WonderCon" with one of my pals. Bought a few cool Disney items and saw Kevin Smith do a 90 minute Q & A. Heather gave me permission to go geek out as long as I got her Adam Baldwin's autograph (secret crush, anyone?). I wound up chatting with the local Universal Pictures rep who took me back to the press room where Adam was getting ready for a signing session with Joss Whedon and two other Firefly cast members. Long story short, I was allowed back into the house last night with a 8x10 signed to Heather by all three actors and Joss.

Today was a less exhilirating day, unfortunately. Violet, our cat, who at 15 is normally a vivacious and healthy cat, has taken a mysterious turn this week. He's stopped eating and drinking and all of our efforts to coax him into health have been unsuccessful (canned pumpkin, salmon, goopy hairball stuff). Our vet is open tomorrow, but I was too stressed out to wait, so we took him to the emergency vet. They ran a bunch of blood tests, and now he's spending the night there with an IV. The bill is not going to be pretty (the estimate was from $700-$1000 just for the next 24 hours), but hopefully we'll be able to figure out how to treat the little fella.

I guess it's all about extremes.

SYRS,
Jesse
