Alaska Chronicle - May 2008

Today, when finally awakened by the ache in my back and a stiff, uh neck, I was planning to write an expose on the underground and highly Illegal Cuckolding industry so prevalent in the lower US state of California, but the parameters for legal cuckolding were way to vague so, after the muse and a third cup of coffee wore off, I abandoned the idea for now.

It was hard to concentrate on such a mentally demanding task as that had become and at the same time deal with a very sick wife, who needed attention and catering service from her only available source; me, the husband who’d benefited from many, many, many hours of her catering to me. It would have been unconscionable to even consider refusing to assist her, well for more than a few moments anyway.


Well, oddly enough, while I was emptying the various trash bins scattered about our abode, I simultaneously heard a strange kakking n yakking noise and was hit by the creativity muse. The muse won out and I tried to focus on a story line: Did I Miss Something Organic? And pondered the hordes of newly labeled organic items in stores; organic veggies, milk, bread, cheeses, fish, canned and frozen products galore. Somewhere between thoughts of organic canned stuff and what constitutes inorganic veggies, milk, bread, cheese, fish and frozen stuffs ~ that damned noise assaulted my ears, again.

Medford Buried Himself in Vitamin C

Gathering up my calm and courage I went to find the source of the retching and kakking; the source disappeared in a flurry of grey fur and the resultant lay on the floor; Medford was ill, and fearful for his life abandoned all hope of mercy when I approached. Wow, now the cat and Tisha were ill-phew, this didn’t bode well.




Cleaning the cat deposits of furballs and chunkies, I located him making biscuits on Tisha’s tummy and they both looked delighted with each others company, and my heart melted at the sight of the two nurturing one another. So, putting out clean trash bins, extra tissues, snacks, drinks and cold remedies, I felt safe to begin blogging again.


A happy thought, had an uneasy feeling not started creeping upon this hapless soul, bingo ~ whoops there it was. Raven the ever staunch warrior was being laid low by a lowly, vile demonic micro beasty, and I was forcibly thrown among the ranks of the ill. I prepared to join Medford and Tisha in bed rest, and will make up another set of cold remedies for my side of the bunk, then retire for the night. What a today.

Sigh. So my fellow Orbler’s, please cough towards China today, I don’t need a prolonged anything, I’ve got serious blog . . gin. . g 2 do. Bye.

Thank you Amy, I hope we all get well soon, this is so strange to have everyone in the house ill. But it's also cute to see the cat trying to comfort Tisha, very moving.

Cats have a 6th sense when their owners are unwell or in a bad mood - they certainly are very affectionate sometimes!

Cat's have special relationships and a variety of roles to fulfill world wide; they're amazing creatures Kleo, as you would well know.

Hmmm

Given the influence and far reaching tenticles (tenticles) of 'one Raven and wonder cat Medford'' I quite expect news shortly of an entire continent coming down with influenza thanks to The Butterfly Effect - no doubt.

Nutmeg all round I suggest - it won't cure you but it does apparently have mind altering qualities - in large amounts so I'm told.

On second thoughts - perhaps bedrest and sympathy.

Mend you.

Raven,

I've taken something really strong myself today and feel well enough to respond ... must drink...more... water... it is hard in the cooler months, but dehydration is so quick to jump on one after 45.

Still laughing at that old lady....as Louie says, nothing like multi-tasking *hahahaha*

All get better soon .and .protection for you.

Hugs

Lilla ...

Hello MNG, that darn butterfly affect can strike down the healthiest of individuals to the equalizing effect of illness, and render them to a bed stricken blob of retching, sneezing and hacking flesh under the right circumstances; unless they self medicate on nutmeg and whiskey hot toddies, then it’s all issues out the window, where’s the TV tuner, I need a nap and some chips. And then they nod out on the sofa rather than on the bed.

I may have to try that.

Kleo, the cat purring is really great for sore bodies too, I had a cat named Troy, that used to stomp up and down the length of my back, and could occasionally help things shuffle about, but his temperament was an issue occasionally, he’d stomp on my back, then when I was relaxed with my guard down he’d lay into me with all claws n paws and then take off running . . . cat laughing the whole way. It was a great way to forget my ailment.

Curative herbs and spaghetti, you’ve got my attention now, *drool* what's the rest of the recipe?

Hey Louie, some folks can multi-task and others can’t; does flatulence while blogging count as multi-tasking, if so most guys could qualify.

Hello Lilla, the dehydration is a problem for me; water plain and simple makes me gag. Oddly enough, when I am up in the Arctic Circle, working outside in sub zero temperatures dehydration is a real issue, but the same is true for anyone working or living there.

I love that old lady, she cracked me up, because I can see the old man in me multi-tasking in a similar but enhanced manner and the mental visual beat the stuffing out of me it's so funny.

Feel free to grab a copy of her, it’ll be interesting to see how she is presented again some day.

Thank you for the well wishes, the protective intentions and hugs. We’re working on getting well.
