Mrs. V. is sick. Toby is sick. I am well. Are the Fates/Gods/Karma
Edited on Tue Mar-22-05 09:22 AM by Bertha Venation
trying to tell me something?

Other than being able to take care of them, I don't understand why I should be well and them sick. I'd rather be sick.

Toby's a cat. It's a lot harder to take care of a sick cat than a sick person. But it doesn't break my heart as much as Mrs. V. being sick does.

Mrs. V. planting tomatoes last year, and laughing


Toby


Toby (right) examining Cocoa


(I'm worried and when I worry I ruminate. Thank you for looking at this little public bit of rumination.)

Edited because I am a hopeless perfectionist.

3. I'll sit and worry with you for a spell, BV....
I'm so sorry they are not well. MrsV has got a glorious smile and I hope that she is soon bestowing it upon you again.

Hugs,Laura

4. You're sweet....
I made her laugh last night. Bad idea. It kills her to cough. :(

Thanks, Laura. :hug:

5. I'm sorry
That Mrs. V is still under the weather. And I can imagine how difficult it is to care for a sick kitty. Something like caring for a baby. They can't tell you what's wrong. All they can do is look at you with those big, pitiful eyes that break your heart.

It is a small favor that you're not sick too. It would be that much more difficult to care for Mrs. V and Toby.

Sending lots of get well vibes your way. :hug:

6. Thanks a bunch, SpaceMom.
I am VERY lucky/blessed that I'm not sick. I don't mean to be throwing it out there that I wish I were. I just don't want my baby to be sick anymore. She's Miz Rabble.

10. LOL testament to my big heart?!
Thank you, Millie. You're sweet to put it that way. I think rather it's a testament to my genes. I was born to worry.

:hug: thank you for your good thoughts. I'm thinking of you, too, re your "trouble" post. :loveya: Talk about big hearted women....

11. Oh, as soon as it actually warms up and we can open the windows,
it'll be a whole new world. That's a sure cure -- as long as the Robitussin/codeine and Zithromax do their magic, too.

Thanks, Jessica

9. I'd rather you were all well!
The Godz or Goddessez aren't saying a thing, it's just the random nature of life's bullshit.

I am hoping the very kindly-looking Mrs. V. is in the pink of health soon.
