Sports This Saturday

Posted on by

Not even going to think about the carnage wreaked in the OSU-Michigan game.Â? *shudders* It was thankfully over by the time I woke up to watch TV today.

I was watching the Bobcat-Grizzly game (the Montana equivalent of OSU-Michigan) with my very wonderful tabbykins Cullen.Â? He’s been my couch buddy for the last couple days.Â? He’ll come purr at me while I eat and sleep on top of the couch within petting distance when I’m napping.

Griz were up 14-3 at halftime.Â? I’m not expecting the Bobcats to catch up though anything could theoretically happen.

And OMG… what is up with the retro uniforms on the Griz?Â? I was wondering if I watching the correct game or if it was today’s match-up!!!Â? I guess they’re the 1980’s ones???Â? And the colors are a little weird???Â? Copper and gold and silver???Â? So NOT that nice-looking!!!!

I Am Truly A Geek

I didn’t have anything together for a costume this year so I just donned my black cat ears and tail from last year.Â? On my way to work, I realized that I needed something else so that I didn’t look like I did a halfway job.Â? Then… it hit me!Â? I needed a mouse!

When I got to work, I “borrowed” a mouse from a co-worker’s computer, duct-taped the cord into a manageable loop and dangled it from my pocket.Â? All day, I’d hold it up when someone walked by and say, “Look!Â? I caught a mouse!”

Yes… I am a geek.

Improvements

So my fever is gone and I can actually move around a bit without hacking up a lung.Â? Go me.Â? I stayed home Friday because I had no energy and decided that it would probably be better if I didn’t try and go to work and pass out on my drive there.

I got errands done today (with breaks of sitting and reading) and saw this on the blog of Daisy, one of Edda’s friends.Â? It made me all teary-eyed as I was sitting in the library to read it.Â? So… pray for Daisy and her mommy and her daddy as they mourn for Pixie.

Other than that, I’m pretty much ready for tomorrow.Â? I’m hoping I don’t have coughing fits tonight because I’m going to have to take something to help me sleep — it’s First Communion for a bunch of my church kids tomorrow and I don’t want to miss it.Â? I also have to be at the dinner/auction tomorrow night and do the kids’ table for it.Â? It’s not exactly the amount of activity I want tomorrow but oh well.Â? I can skip the coffee after church or something.

Melange Goodness

A melange of stuff because I need to empty my brain.

[+] L’shanah tovah to all who are celebrating at the moment.

[+] Our trip to Lethbridge this past weekend was awesome.Â? We stayed at the Lethbridge Lodge, took advantage of their fitness room, ate good food, got to swim, got to chill in the lounge and listen to an awesome guitarist on Friday and Saturday night, attend an AWESOME church, and just enjoy getting away from the U.S. for a couple days.

[+] My neuro appointment went well today.Â? I wish all doctor’s appointments were comparable to sitting at $tarbux and drinking coffee.Â? I seriously heart my neuro ARNP.Â? We’re upping my beta blocker and she gave me some samples of triptans to try because Imitrex isn’t doing it for me.Â? We also talked about some other health things and some things in my life.Â? I wish I wasn’t her patient so she and I could have $tarbux dates.

[+] If reincarnation were to exist, I’d want to come back as this cat.Â? Sue, you definitely take the cake for cat-spoiling.Â? *MY* cats don’t have their own water bottle and fleece cover.Â? 😛

Pray

My in-laws’ white cat hasn’t been seen since Tuesday.Â? They think he got eaten by coyotes.

It’s probably past the point of return for him but… pray that he shows up.

One Upside of the Current Pope

NY Times: Cat Lovers Appreciate Soul Mate in Vatican

According to the article…

Pope Paul II, in the 15th century, had his cats treated by his personal physician. Leo XII, in the 1820s, raised his grayish-red cat, Micetto, in the pleat of his cassock. And according to The Times of London, Paul VI, pope from 1963 to 1978, is said to have once dressed his cat in cardinalâ????s robes.

Jon’s comment upon reading the bolded part: “Cats already think they’re gods.Â? Why would they want to be demoted?”
