Yep, still sick. So what else is new.

One thing did make me smile this week. I was going through my litany of possible illnesses with my Favorite Younger Brother-in-Law (that sounds WAY too interactive; more like, he sat there patiently while I whined, only it was via email so to be honest I have no idea how he reacted, but from my end it was all, whine whine whine complain complain I'm so sick blah blah blah) and he came up with a possibility I had not thought of before. And it's such an OBSCURE reference I later thought to myself, why, this must truly separate the men from the boys! And it made me feel better.

Anyway, when I was whining about maybe having Lyme disease or Legionnaire's disease instead of just a nasty summer cold, my Favorite YBiL said, "Maybe you have Thripshaw's Disease." Which, as I said, made my jaw drop in wonderment and awe.

How totally perfect! Thripshaw's disease it is!

Mojo

--but I forgot. Probably because for the past two nights (probably due to my back hurting and all, whine whine whine) I've been waking up around midnight and having to get up and go downstairs for a while, since lying in bed with my eyes open doesn't do it for me. I don't know why and it's driving me nuts. Last night I was up until three, and of course my Favorite Husband gets up at four thirty, so this morning I am surprised I can still type and make sense. I am exhausted, and today I am starting the day with Story Hour at the lieberry, followed by an eight-hour shift. Someone kill me now.  MORE Mojo! »
