Again??

 

I woke up this morning with a gawd-awful head cold.  No, I have no idea where it came from - somebody must have breathed on me.  And I was together with my music guys yesterday, and I, no doubt, breathed on somebody.  But, I felt fine yesterday.  This came on fast. 

 

While Joan ran to the store this morning (she drove, she didn't run - we don't run), I went back to bed.  About 5 minutes in, little Stella jumped up on the bed and walked on me, moving up from my legs to my back.  She weighs about the same as... air.  I barely felt her.  I poked my nose out from under the covers, and she came up and touched her nose against mine.  I love that.  And this was all her doing it.  No, Murphy does not do that - he likes being petted and will lay right next to you, but not on you, and no face-touching-face stuff.  I also loved it when Rufus would headbutt me me... although at times it was like getting punched in the jaw.  I digressed again.

Murphy apparently heard me tell Stella how sweet she is; came running and hopped up on the bed.  Murphy laying beside me, Stella laying on me... it was nice.  For almost 17 seconds.  When it once again turned into Thursday Morning Smackdown.

While trying to get them to break it up, my phone rang.  And I think we all know that cell phone ringing is the number one killer of cats.  Apparently, they thought so, and took off running.  It was my buddy Ron - he had some questions about band stuff.  I tried to have some answers... I went to my music room to pull some charts off the iPad and forward them to him.  Did my best to answer a few more questions.

So... I'm up now.  That's OK, it's time for some more cold meds - over the counter, so they probably don't do anything except make you feel like you are doing something.  Hopefully, this one won't hang on like that last crud from a month or so ago.
