If It's Not One Thing It's Everything Else

Since my return from the Cape and my high school class 30th reunion my time has been occupied with first, a sinus infection that made me physically dizzy for many days; secondly, my Grandmother landing in the hospital - she is now in rehab for 2-3 weeks and is doing well; thirdly, a muscle spasm in my upper back that has had me occupied with trying to get the pain under control and the spot healed up so I can get out of the house (I've been indoors for the past four days)and into the sunshine that is just pouring out of the sky this afternoon, but I am still a bit woozy from the muscle relaxant and will have to forgo any driving for the afternoon which means I have to call my sister and help my nephew with his paper via the telephone and email. (SIGH!!) But then, so my life seems to progress during times of stress or when I am taking classes, which is just a more interesting sort of stress.

Taking drugs for muscle pain does have its advantages. Last night my boyfriend and I got into a minor "pun off," which we enjoy doing now and again. It started when I told him that the amount of catnip he had put onto the local scratchy box had turned the area into a den of in'nip'uity, and ended with my telling him that our (very sweet) old (former) Tom kitty, Bootsie, goes a little wild whenever he gets his paws on too much of the "green stuff" and it usually ends up in his trying to tempt our youngest kitty, Mottle, into his den of innipuity to look at his retchings (stealth barfs). We called it a draw, agreeing our thinking was a little too fuzzy when we introduced the "one good gag after another" aspect. Anyone with multiple cats will know exactly what we are talking about and the uninitiated will just have to figure it out on their own.

It did not seem like a full two weeks since I had last posted on my blog, but then, I have been busy. The paper I have due this weekend should be a very interesting one to read for and to write, I only hope it is legible and coherant enough to pass muster.

I have several more poems I am hoping to post here within the next few days so, if you have enjoyed reading any of my stuff, there is now a little something to look forward to over the weekend.

I hope all is going well for any reading these words.
