ohhhh, DM... leetle slow on the uptake here... took me a sec...

you saw pix of my charming gander Gandalf, on my site? or in the Wok-Wok thread?

yes, he totally struts... it was truly pathetic when he lost his top-dog status at our farm (he was all head-hanging and mopey), and thus it was really cool when he staged the coup d'etat, and regained his rulership this morning...



actually, I am feeling a little better, still fuzzy around the edges, blurry vision, and achy all over, but the load is lightening, with the help of Tylenol, and vitamin C... and lots of hot tea.

I hope you're on the mend too, Miss Princess !!

Jane, I do not either stink!

MOM !! Jane said I smell bad, make her STOP it!!



DH turned on the "pipe water" at our front gate today, so had a shower, neener-neener! and so there!

Wiz, that might be it, but in addition... a bug has taken hold... I've been coughing, sneezing, and snuffling all day... and figured out (in retrospect) that most of my body aches, and headache are due to the flu, and a sinus infection.

I took my own (oft-unheeded) advice, and took it real easy today, two naps, fed the birds in the "green room" (and skipped the plucking party), AND sent hubby to the dawn market without me.

I can make it through my regular feeding chores no matter what... (it's only 2 or 3 hours a day) I haven't missed but once in two years now... it's when extras are added to the day that I PAY.

so, this week, no extras for me... I don't want to trigger a REAL nasty flare, so far it's all just pseudo-stuff doing its usual re-run.

oh, and DM? I showed hubby your litter-box pic... he grinned and PROMISED to do better !!
