I've got eleven minutes to post. So I'll keep it brief.

Feel better.
ReplyDeleteGot any George Michael in there?
Oh, see, when I read videos, naturally I thought...
ReplyDeleteThis must be that New Math I keep hearing about. Because in my day, this equation would have had a simple answer: 20 straight hours in bed.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No partride-in-a-pear-tree?
ReplyDelete-J.
P.S. If this is my flu you caught...sorry.
But where's the dozen cookies I asked for?
ReplyDeleteblackbird: No George Michael. When I want to watch a music video, I just watch that one of my husband dancing. Over and over.
ReplyDeleteBadge: It would have, except for the effect of pseudoephedrine. As far as my metabolism is concerned, it might as well be crack.
Joke: It is not. Symptoms are rigorously confined to the upper respiratory tract and brain. Nothing whatsoever to do with my plumbing.
Ree: You'll have to get in line behind the seventh grade advisory and my husband, who got into the stash this morning. But I sampled a couple last night myself, and they are SO GOOD. Like fudge. These are the Pied Piper of cookies; all I need to do is bake them and people will follow me around and do whatever I want.
I don't get it. This must be trigonometry or something. I quit math after geometry and no one wept.
ReplyDeleteAnd, yeah, maybe you could just lie still for a bit. Obviously, you're not ingesting enough cough medicine. Or martinis.
