Eh, husbands can often be overrated in this regard. Mr. A is pretty decent until you ask for something unreasonable, like buying you tampons while you have a cold. THEN IT IS JUST TOO MUCH. He will, however, buy tampons when you are healthy. Go figure. .-= slynnro´s last blog ..NoImYoSeMo: The List. =-.

I was trying to work from home on Monday to catch up on all the work I’ve missed being out for knee surgery. I was making so many stupid mistakes (calling people by the wrong name, asking about the status of things that were already completed — and I’d already sent a thank you to them for sending it!) that someone joked I should stop working while on painkillers. Uh, I wasn’t on painkillers. Just in a sick fog.

I’m sorry you’re SIIIIICCCCKKK!!!! It’s not fair to be sick and have no one to take care of you. Stupid cats. Get them to earn their freakin keep and get you some soup for crisssakes.

I read, “What if I faint on the wall?” instead of “What if I faint on the way?” I was trying to imagine a scenario where you’d faint on the wall instead of the floor. I was mightily perplexed for a good 15 seconds before I re-read it.

Feel better!

Kyle has been sick for what feels like forever (with a really awful stomach virus) but EVERYONE has asked, “Is it swine flu? It’s swine flu, isn’t it? You should make sure it’s not swine flu.” As if his pediatrician would need us to SUGGEST testing for swine flu before she comes up with the idea herself.

Feel better soon! I've been in your archives for days now, laughing my head off. Ask the cats to knead your sinuses, it might loosen them up. .-= Andrea´s last blog ..School, Dreams, and Hedgehog Poop =-.

Whining is perfectly acceptable when you are sick, even just a little sick. Feel better soon! .-= paperdiva´s last blog ..end game =-.

Oh man, I'm the asshole who got WORSE once she had a victim living with her! I wasn't anywhere near as pathetic and whiny when I lived by myself because there was no one there to hear me (not even a cat *wink*). Once The Man-Thing moved in, there was this instantaneous role reversal in which he suffers silently and stoically while I moan and groan and bitch and whine all over myself. *I'M* the man-cold asshole!

You should totally get a Neti pot.

I whine to my husband that I am sick and he just says “sorry” and goes back to his Internet, so it’s not like having someone around makes it any better being sick. Now my Mommy, she would make it better.
