Viruses VS Paranoia

As I sit in my bed for the 5th straight day, with headache, fever, tinnitis and cough.  I decided to see if there was anything on TV.  Like most caregivers I am a bad patient.  Morosely I scan the channels to see if there is anything, anything at all to entertain me is the vast wasteland called day time TV.  While I was wondering why I still could not swallow without pain  I chance to see a "Frasier" rerun is on.  "Well what the heck,"  I said, I always got a kick out of Frasier and I missed most episodes being a working mom.  This show was a hoot but also made me think.  Frasier was in bed with a bad flu, fever, and Ear Nose Throat involvement.  His high fever causes him to hallucinate and fear for his job.  He had his brother Niles taking over his spot and he was doing a great job at the radio-psychology thing.  Frasier, in great fear, wrote  prescriptions for heavy pharmaceuticals had Daphne pick them up.  Frasier charged in ready to save his job, fever, doped up and promptly made a fool of himself on the radio.  "They had to carry me out in a butterfly net, said Frasier.  I am going to work tomorrow to "save" my job.  Any words of wisdom and no I am not completely well yet but I can pass.  Will I need to be carried away in a butterfly net?

www.scrapbookpal.com

I don't usually endorse a scrapbook site other then my own but I just love www.scrapbookpal.com.  They absolutely have the best prices for "Cricut" cartridges and I buy all my adhesive needs there.  The best part is the speed of delivery.  Once I was scheduled for a scrapbook beach retreat.  I love these retreats because I get my best work done at them.  Three days before I decided I better check my adhesive supplies and I was totally O-U-T out.  I use the 1/4inch 3M gun and the size is difficult to find.  I ordered from Scrapbook Pal and hoped.  I didn't have to worry they delivered the next working day.  Wow -way to go Scrapbook Pal you saved the day.www.scrapbookpal.com
