After I posted my little kitty tale yesterday, I kind of laughed as I walked away from my computer thinking, "How pathetic was my life today that getting mauled by the cat was thought provoking enough to actually sit down and type it all out!" I guess there are just days like that so I refuse to be too hard on myself. Besides, I have made the blog rounds today and discover I am not the only one with A)nothing really earth shattering to report or B) not making any new posts at all.
I think I should fight the urge to type something when I don't have that much to say. It certainly presents a skewed glimpse into one's life.
On a somewhat related note, but rather unrelated, I spent a little time on Facebook today and had an interesting exchange about the swine flu. I cannot help but become enthralled when the media gets ahold of something and won't let go. Like a dog shaking a stuffed doll until the stuffing flys out. So my parting paragraph this evening is my observation during Governor Culver's news conference today that I also shared on Facebook (yes I am still thinking about it, and since I have beat it to death on FB, I am going to say it here too):
IF the swine flu has the potential to be the pandemic they are claiming it to be, why not scroll it along the bottom of the television, create an informational website, offer a hotline and appoint specific people at appropriate places (hospitals, clinics) that can act as spokespeople to answer random questions, create a television channel for the specific purpose of talking about swine flu and finally, allow people to sign up for a free flu-shot coupon ....oh wait - I have this confused with the Digital TV switch over...
And that's all I am going to say about thayat..... ;-)

After a bout with bronchitis, if one more person asks me if I have swine flu, I'll go into orbit! I can just see the struggle (to say it mildly) with the cat. Any time I have to do something invasive with our cat, I wish for a pair of Kevlar gloves. And she makes the most god-awful "yowling" noise (I don't even know if that's a word). Honest Kitty, it's just a little wormer, I'm not trying to pull out all of your teeth! Anyway, I'm sorry I didn't get to talk with you more at the visitation, but I didn't want to expose anyone to my cold more than necessary and you were busy with guests. Talk to you soon.
Glad your swine flu is on the mend - er H1N1 - er, darnit...BRONCHITIS! I used oh a gallon or so of hand sanitizer the night of visitation. Not because of you...LOL BUt, the number of hands I shook was mind boggling. The worst part was watching some people cough and hack into their hand and then reach for yours. Makes the skin crawl I tell ya. If it wasn't so bad for your skin I would have showered in it! ;-)
