Back to Work Monday

Yep, I'm still Sick. I'm so tired of being sick.
Because I am on Cipro and not getting a helluva lot better I called an ENT for an appointment. I see them on Wednesday.  My sinus's are still burning. 
I know, you didn't even ask and I shared. 
I just love spending $$$ on this stuff when I am knee deep in stress of Xmas.
I hate the holiday season with a passion. The stress and the money are a royal pain.

While I was lying on my sofa in my pj's, blowing my nose, coughing, wheezing, sneezing, feeling congested and all over awful I saw a few of items I am going to share.

1. I was watching a marathon of I LOVE LUCY. I adore that show. I have seen everyone of them millions of times each. But that doesn't stop me from watching them - ever. 
Lucy and Ethel were in the kitchen making butter and bread to show the men they could survive the "olden" days where the boys said they could do it better. While Lucy was making bread  she was transferring the dough as it would rise from one bowl to another larger bowl. These bowls were so nice. I have seen them at Williams Sonoma. They are so very expensive. I bet Lucy didn't know that she was holding what would one day would be considered a very high end bowl. My grandmother had a set of those bowls too. I so wish I had them today.

2. I read someone on facebook looking to her friends and readers to tell what they want to read on her blog. She had a survey for all to take to tell her what to write.  I used to read her blog before she stopped. I don't understand this survey. 
You see, I love ya'll but its my blog. I will write what I want to write about so while I'll miss you if you aren't interested so be it. Its my blog. I started to take the survey but found it too limited. I had to choose what topic I wanted to read. How about all of the above? I found this whole thing very odd. She shouldn't be limiting her imagination or her life to fit someone else's choices. 

3. Rick was on his tablet while I lay dripping from all holes in my head when he yelled, "OMG I THINK AMANDA IS PREGNANT. WHY WOULDN'T SHE TELL ME?"
(Amanda is his daughter)  I said, "What the hell are you talking about?" 
He tells me he is looking at her Amazon wish list trying to see what she'd like for Christmas. He says, "I saw a changing table on her list."
I sat up and said, "Let me see this."  Then I burst into uncontrollable laughter.
It read, "charging table" for your ipod, ipads, iphones, etc.  
OMG my husband makes fun of my hearing but honestly the dumb shit can't see now. 
No wonder he thinks I'm still cute.  Poor old man.

4. Lastly, while lying on the sofa I read a lot of blogs on my phone.
I don't have a tablet you see and I can't reach my PC in the office from my comfy spot on the sofa.   I used Rick's tablet last week and deleted his whole tablet and thankfully he had backup and spent 2 days putting that all back together. So I am no longer allowed to touch it. I don't think I blame him.  Anyway, while reading this I said out loud, "holy shit this is some sick shit"  Of course that makes my husband want to know all about what I am reading. I made him look at it because seriously this is sick shit.  The blog I read had a post about this story as well as the link, which I gladly share with you so you too can be grossed out.  This was by a so called artist from Melbourne Australia. How does one define art?
I don't think this is it. At least it isn't in my little world.

5. I got these new treats for Izzy. They are made in the USA and they are chicken jerky. The last ones were recalled due to dogs dying and they were made in China. Big deal that was all over the news. So when I saw these I grabbed them. They have smoked paprika in them and the smell is pretty strong. But I think Izzy had too many. I gave her one. Then Rick did and I didn't know it. Then I gave her another. Poor Izzy had smelly farts and then she got diarrhea. Oh my goodness she was running to the door constantly for a few hours. We had some left over diarrhea medication for her and immediately put it in some cheese to get it down her. Finally at 10pm she was settled down. This morning she was a bit slow moving. Rick was downstairs first and said, "She's not even eating this morning" 
I walked over to the island to make my coffee and I see Izzy's bowl on the island full of food. 
I say to Rick, "How do you expect her to eat her food  if you leave her bowl on the kitchen island?"
He begins to laugh. "OMG what the hell is wrong with me lately? I noticed she didn't go to her bowl and figured she wasn't feeling well."
So we started this morning off with a good laugh.
Rick has been dealing with his gout as I mentioned last week. 
Because of his gout he hasn't been drinking. 
I think his goofiness all week is due to the lack of alcohol. His poor body is all confused.
