Day Eight - I Don't Wanna

Clara Jane's on the mend, but I'm sick. Tired. Mostly tired. Yesterday was beyond exhausting, and it ended with me being run out of my own bed by a noisy piece of machinary. My pal PKB spent the day with me, which was fun, but talking all day can wear a tired girl out.

But the election results have me happy.

In lieu of real content, as I'm too tired to think of anything worthwhile to write, I'll leave you with this thought that's been kicking around my brain for a few weeks. It seems appropriate, in light of yesterday.

When I was in Ohio a few weeks ago, I received a lovely gift from Kristina's dad: a large button featuring a smiling Dick Cheney with a morphed George W./Charlie McCarthy ventriloquist's dummy on his knee. I stuck it to my travel toiletries bag, and I'm pleased to report that its presence didn't cause any problems when the FAA opted to dig through my checked luggage on the flight home.

Since I got home, the bag with the button has been perched atop a cabinet in my bathroom, and it makes me giggle every time I see it. Not just because I like it, but because I think about the thank-you note I'd love to send to Kristina's dad:

Dear Mr. Humpamonkey,

Thank you so much for the button. I enjoy looking at it when I poop.

Your friend,
Threat to National Security #49,296

Get some rest, friend. You need it. You deserve it. I'll do anything to help you get it.

I am sorry you are not feeling well. I am in North Carolina, and three counties have already closed their schools for the flu. I have never seen that happen. Makes me nervous.

Happy the kidlet is feeling better too.

You get the coolest things! I'm envious of your groovy button!

I'd have given the world to have been there with you and pkb yesterday. Get some rest, sweets.
