Kinda bummed out today. I was invited to my boyfriend’s nephew’s birthday party (turned two), but this cold has a good hold on me. I actually woke up today feeling worse than over the last few days. Fortunately, Lil’ Jan came for a short visit and brought me some cold meds. They are really helping. I usually don’t take anything for colds – I figure I’m already on enough meds, so don’t take extra unless I’m really desperate.
My little mother helped wrangle up three of the four kitties, who needed a bath. Here is an unhappy albeit clean Pinky:

And an equally unhappy Abby:

Boo also got a bath but I forgot to snap a pic. She was too busy screaming anyway. Mya only needs a few baths a year, as she doesn’t get as oily as the others. I asked Mya to give me the cutest face she could muster up, and if it was good enough, I wouldn’t give her a bath this time. This is what she threw my way:

Yup, nailed the cute look!
Anyway, had a nice visit with the Janski, and since she left, I’ve been laying on my couch like a blob. Looking forward to sleeping tonight (have hardly slept the last few nights) and feeling MUCH better tomorrow.
I had a really nice surprise come my way yesterday. Apparently, I’ve been awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal. This is what came in the mail:


I phoned the manager at work to find out what it was all about. She said I was nominated and selected for the work I’ve done with fund-raising for the MS Society. I’m still in shock!
Today’s symptoms: Still feeling yuck-o-la from this cold. Having some MS aches and pains in my forearms though – quite bad today.
