not a good way to spend the days leading up to xmas. \u00a0i had a little sore throat saturday night, then all of a sudden i had the full-blown flu on sunday.<\/p>\n

dreadful. \u00a0i can’t remember that last time i got the flu.<\/p>\n

i got a flu shot for the first time last year and kept meaning to get one this year, but then instantly kept forgetting again.<\/p>\n

i just got up, at 10, after going to bed last night at 8:00. \u00a0xmas things just aren’t gonna get done.<\/p>\n

and oh yeah, my show on new year’s eve…it’s troubling. \u00a0every day i feel like i don’t have enough time to get ready, but every day i have no energy to do anything at all. \u00a0plus i have a very bad cough.<\/p>\n

luckily, yesterday i called the doctor and they managed to get me in, and he gave me tamiflu, which is some flu drug that i take for five days. \u00a0plus codeine cough syrup, which i will hoard til well past its expiration date.<\/p>\n

last night i took the tamiflu, and a teaspoon of cough medicine, and wasn’t gonna take any kind of other sleep aids, but then realized that sleep was never gonna happen even though i was exhausted, so i staggered out of bed and took all the sleep aids. \u00a0and then, this morning at seven, i was coughing a lot again so kevin gave me another spoonful of cough medicine.<\/p>\n

i’m hoping that that might somewhat explain my feeling of intense grogginess. \u00a0maybe when the cough syrup wears off, i’ll feel much, much better.<\/p>\n

cause i gotta get some stuff done.<\/p>\n

and look, PICTURES OF THE KITTIES!<\/p>\n

this is kinda dark, but HOW CUTE IS THAT??? as les tenderly cleans the top of kevin’s head!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

we’d been putting the cats’ leftover dishes high up on the fridge because if we put them on the counter, chester would jump up and eat them.<\/p>\n

so he decided to just climb all the way to the top of the fridge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

just a regular, les is the cutest kitty ever, \u00a0photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

ditto.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

kevin sent me this icture, one of those rare times when chester and winnie were near each other without fighting<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

this is just a bit grainy – it’s bev, at her christmas cantata. \u00a0we had a perfect view of her through the big crowd of singers, and she looked very cute in her freshly-ironed white blouse; most of the other people wore red.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

here’s santa at the mall. \u00a0i was fascinated, because there was a huge line waiting, but most of the time, santa was just sitting there by himself. \u00a0the whole setup seemed poor – apparently, after they took a picture, everybody then had to wait around til the picture was developed? \u00a0i mean, i’m just guessing that this was the problem, but it seemed like a lame way to do it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

do you see santa’s big red sack over there on the left? \u00a0that was a HUGE BAG OF HERSHEY’S KISSES and i toyed with the idea of diving right down into it.<\/p>\n

unfortunately, diving is one of the many physical feats i was never able to master.<\/p>\n

finally, here’s garrick and janice’s darling new dog, a rescue beagle. \u00a0they had to put their beloved lemon beagle max to sleep a few weeks ago, which was so sad, but i’m happy for them that they have this new cute puppy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

yeah, this christmas is a really sad one, with dad and mollie gone.<\/p>\n

ok then,<\/p>\n
