PITY PARTY!!

I have some horrid kind of flu/death inducing virus. I'm pretty sure I won't survive the day. It's 8:00 and I haven't even dragged out to feed the horses yet... and they are all standing at the fence staring at the house, contemplating mutiny. The donkey goes off every 5 minutes like an air raid siren.

Pity?? Sympathy?? Anyone?? Who wants to come tuck me back into bed and shower me with attention and hot soup?? Hubby has gone off to work and left me here to die a slow, agonizing death all alone....

LOLOL I'm SO WHINY when I'm sick...

oh Lori - I'm so sorry
I've been there and I so know what it's like
and all the damn animals - like it isn't bad enough without the guilt
I remember horses too - you have to go outside for them and it involves lugging buckets of stuff
I'm a bit to far away to tuck you in, poor girl, but I would if I could
and I do believe you will survive this thing, even if it doesn't feel that way right now

Thank you Rhea. I'll just pretend you're tucking me in and hovering over me then. LOL I do love those horses but, oh, yeah, some days I really kind of am tired of all the lugging of heavy feed and hay. I guess I'm getting old. I have two volunteers coming tomorrow to brush and clean hooves, tho, so I'm off the hook on that today. :-)

I sooooo wanted to see my little nephew today, but can't now. Snivel. He's growing so fast!! He's 2.

Ok... dragging myself outside... siiiiiiiigh :-)

Sympathy hug for you, Lori. Hope you're all better real soon.

[GartersRock]

Aww... Feel better soon Lori! The equines will live. Poor things are so abused. lol!!

Reptile show today!! YAY! It's a hot show too. Fun.
Mostly picking up non garter stuff, and food. But getting an adult female eastern. WHOOT! And if anyone has any garters for sale (sometimes there are 1 or 2) I will try to get those as well.
Wish me luck. LOL

Lori, if ittiz any consolation... For the past week at work I've been getting ssssoooo hot: sweating, clammy, hot! Then yesterday it hit: the contacted eyes got dry, I was sweating but my skin was burning, then I was freezing so bad I was shaking - even though my skin was still on fire. Yup. The fever hit.

I spent a restless night 1/2 unclad going from periods of blissful coolness to periods of being drenched in sweat.

I'm HOPING it's just a sinus infection/bronchitus that I'm prone to and not some horrid bug. We're scheduled for flu shots at work on like the 10th.

But I am worried... We a temp at work that was working so sick - STUPID BEING - she was falling asleep at work. WE had to make her go to the dr. Her breath was so labored you could hear it. Already one person at work she worked with as been out two days.

A sinus infection/bronchitus can be cured... I am a bit worried.

Pet expo today. Somewhat disappointing. A couple of people selling reptiles. 80% corns, a couple of kingsnakes, a rainbow boa, a boa constrictor, I think I saw a juvenile black ratsnake and the mandatory beardies, leopard geckos and crested geckos. Nothing interesting. At least they had a couple of Pituophis and Corallus last year, but nothing like that this year.

The most interesting thing present was a pen they had set up for ferrets. They had about half a dozen of them running around in it. Fun to watch. I think they actually had more cockroach species present, than interesting individual herps.

Stefan, you need to breed so you can go to the Xpo and sell something interesting!

Ah, wait.

What I mean is you need to breed YOUR SNAKES...

The fingers don't always type what the brain means... I need more coffee.

[Stefan-A]

I don't want to sell, I want to buy.

[Lori P]

Stefan, sorry you were disapointed by the expo. Next time, just come here to ours. :-)

Hey guys, check out these "flying" snakes. You probably know about them, but this was new to me. Tooooooo cool!!!!

I'd like that. Ain't gonna happen, though.

You probably know about them,

Yeah. Have known about them for about 20 years.
