because michelle misses me.


i'd like to take this moment and thank my friend, my mucociliary escalator. mucociliary escalator, without you there would be bacteria partay-ing down in my lower airways. you've gotten me through some tough times and i promise to try and keep you well hydrated from this day forward.



in other news:

* thanks to everybody for my get well wishes (and to eb and team leggett for my ice cream fix)
* thanks to e.kile for egypt in a box (and peanut butter cookies.....trying to save some for chrees but it's getting difficult)
* i woke up this morning feeling pretty good, got my little self together and took off for my last lecture ever... to find that it had been cancelled. so, my last lecture ever was monday. yay.
* yesterday, i had the joy of necropsying a fetal puppy that had schistosomus reflexus....that's fancy talk for "internal organs outside the body". and it was missing it's right front leg but it did have a scapula.


* jansen is in the throes of pacifier withdrawal as we speak. it's a sad world when a kid can't get a paci.

i want my momma!

i am officially working the strep throat over here.
you gotta love it when the doc looks in your throat and says "ew". on the plus side, she gave me all free samples of antibiotics, ear fluid cleaner outer (what 3 years of vet school? that's an official medical term) and atuss.

total cost to me: ten dollar. (this is better than the current dentistry bill)


surely not as cute as this sick kid but he has that "been moping on the couch for a couple o days nursing on fluids" look. and i've been known to point too.



ravs trip to mississippi this weekend not looking so good. i need immediate pampering people! my mom has been doing a good job over the phone but i wish she lived closer :(
herschel has not done such a good job over the phone but he is working against "the mama" who has yet to be beaten so don't feel bad for him. i'm sure he's really looking forward to coming home to infectious lethargic me--but i'll be happy. mmmm... selfish little me.

i'm feeling the valentines day fever --low grade that is--, i've got a truck (or large stone) in my throat, and hubs is in st. louis....

pitiful me.
