Friends and Kitties!
I am alive, and getting better.
Eons ago, the day after I turned 30, I came down with the worst flu I've ever had in my life. I ran a fever for nearly a week, and the coughing was so bad I developed pleurisy around both lungs. From start to finish it took almost two months to recover. As awful as the experience was, I did get a good funny story out of it.
The day before I fell ill was me and Scott's very first and only date. Which went well. Anyway, I'm at Scott's house the next evening, eating the nice dinner he cooked, and feeling worse by the minute. One of my little endearing gastrointestinal peculiarities is that when I get flu, I get gassy. Really gassy. We're talking horrible huge farts here. Sound AND fury. Since Scott and I are "new" I'm trying to be discrete and sink the stink into the sofa cushions...unsuccessfully. Finally, with ill-advised chivalry, Scott says to just let 'em rip. So I did.
He was awed.
And I knew he was a keeper.
I'm not nearly as ill this time, just extremely tired, with some hacking and sniffling. I took the entire week off work, mostly for the sake of my co-workers because this is certainly not good enough to share--even though Hubby ever-so-nicely passed it on to me. And you can be sure I passed something else as well...
Happy Sunday!

You have 13 cats and you have been this sick? Either it was really bad, or they have been slacking off on the healing purrs!
ReplyDelete(Not that we are great healers here - when my human gets sick, we get annoyed at her whining and won't have anything to do with her!)
We are so sorry to hear you've been so sick! That story about the gas has our mom LOL!

ReplyDeleteOh we hope you feel better... Are you getting lots of purrs or are the cats afraid?
ReplyDeleteHaHaMeow! I, Prancer Pie just ripped a big one while Mom was reading this! Mommy says there is more room out in the open than in a tummeh! Let er rip and feel better soon. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh dear. We are sorry you are sick. We are sure the Katnip crew is on hand 24/7.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most romantic fart story I've ever read. Heartwarming. =^*^=
ReplyDeleteMan, that is the best Human romance story I efur heard! I don't think even a kitty could have had a better line than Scott's, ha ha meow!
ReplyDeleteLMAO...that's funny. I remember a guy telling me that when a girl farted in front of her new boyfriend, it was love!
ReplyDeleteApparently, there is some truth to his suggestion.
Glad to hear you're feeling some better!
Oooh, I hope you feel better soon. It suck to be sick. Even if you can offgas now and then
ReplyDeleteA whole new meaning to the phrase "met cute."
ReplyDeletejust wondering if those couch cushions survived back then?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
Are the Katnip Loungers safe? Do they have natural immunity to nasty gases? Do they need extra oxygen sent in ?
ReplyDeletePlease don't light any matches.
We hope you are starting to feel better and the windy pops ease off :)xx
ReplyDeleteI love these little Sunday chats. We are really getting to know the inner Sheebie! As the Barred would say, "Farting is such sweet gasso"
ReplyDeleteTrish, have you stopped to consider that Scott likes your farts and that is why he passed on his illness to you?
ReplyDelete:o)
That man is DEFINITELY a keeper! Hope you feel much better very soon!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Oh Sheebie, you made our mom LOL this morning! We're glad you are starting to feel better.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story. That must be part of the marriage vows - "for better for worse!"
ReplyDeleteGreat story!
ReplyDeleteI sure am glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteTrue love--ain't it grand? :) We're glad to hear you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteMom Trish! You are hilarious! Now I begin to wonder why my Mama always have Degas pills in her purse? purrr.....meow!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair you ought to see if u can find little gas masks for the kitties working hard nursing u back to good health....
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you're feeling better. And, thanks for the "warning" - we'll make sure not to teleport over when you're sick. :)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Yep, that's proof he's a keeper!
ReplyDeleteMum can relate to that and its worse on some shifts more than others (poor work mates ) Glad you are feeling better though and able to joke about it.. You sure found a keeper.. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteoh your story made me giggle!!..just saying the word "fart" around me makes me giggle..and then hearing does too..as long as there is no smell..can't handle the smell..and hubby...well he smells...man you know your man loved you if he told you to let it rip...give him a hug for me..;) glad to hear you are on the mend..and you know laughter is the best medicine..thanks for my dose of laughter today;)
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling much better!!
ReplyDeleteAs somewhat of an expert myself on gaseous matters, I've found that if you take 3 Gas-X pills every 3 hours or so, they do help. I've recently discovered that garlic and I don't get along.
ReplyDeleteKarma, Fate, Destiny. You and Scott were meant to be.
Glad you are feeling better'
ReplyDeletehugs,
Penny
Trish, we're sending purrs until you're shipshape.
ReplyDeleteHa, talk about romantic! That is pretty funny. I hope you continue to feel better and are back to normal soon!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon. Pop is the champ in this house when it comes to gas.
ReplyDeleteOur Daddy is gas powered! Right now Mommy's coughing is disturbing us! Me can't wait for her to feels better
ReplyDeleteKisses

Wow, hacking up lungs and colonscopy farts! You never know what will turn a man on!
ReplyDeleteWow, now that's a heck of a second date! He must have decided that YOU were a keeper! though I am surprised that the kitties arent demanding gas masks.. MOL
ReplyDeleteImpressive date :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you were getting better yesterday (I'm late reading, it's Monday already)

ReplyDeleteThat is a great fart story you told! Yes, he certainly was a keeper if he could put up with that, LOL. We hope you continue to get better. Sicks are no fun.
