Feeling Poorly ...

Feeling 'poorly' is simply an awful use of the adverb. One of my grad school mentors made me rip every 'LY' adverb out of my thesis. When you write, write so that you don't need a modifier and the sentences will read much better, instead of poorly. LOL

I am sick. WAIT! Hold the comments until you understand that I am talking about a physical and viral malady. This is NOT about my mind.

Last weekend I thought my allergies were kicking me because of the falling moldy damned leaves, but it turned out to be my sinus infection, which visits almost every autumn. I am in the fifth day of severe congestion and ague.

The cats are fine. Sparky (post op) is the happiest cat I know. Amazing.

I titled this 'NAP TIME AT THE SNOOZE PAD.'

Rex had Tootsie Pops, I don't know what I will give him for his birthday.

Ed had a sinus infection -- they're insidious because you feel lousy and don't know why. But the doc gave him antibiotics and that helped him a lot. Hope you feel better soon.

Great kitty photo.

Sorry to hear of your sinus infection. I get other things but not those. Had to buy those furnace filters that cost 5 times as much as the regular ones, for my coughing -- and they do help a lot.

I have to use the Filtreete extra fine filters. New one each month.

I'm sorry you're feeling poorly. I have a funny greeting card: "When I'm poorly, I lie under the front porch with the dogs until the feeling passes." Sessie - what a piece of work she is: teenage mother, won't let you take her to be spayed, but she naps with the rest of them.

Yesterday (Halloween) was Quincy's 4th or 5th birthday - I can't remember how old he is - and Sessie's 2nd or so we think. We had tuna cake with anchovie paste.
