Insanity
So it's Super Bowl Sunday and, like any other year, I really couldn't care less. In the past it meant that Scott and I could go to the Red Apple Cafe and it would be empty, but today it just meant that the grocery store was packed when I went to go buy some fish.
Tried to muster up some interest in it, but I have none, and probably partly due to a cold that is definitely getting the better of me, although Airborne has so far stopped it from going further. At the moment. I'm not averse to a Super Bowl party, well mostly, and if there were someone here who cared I'd cheer along. But there's not, so I'm not. Ok, I'm secretly cheering for the Saints because Erin told me to, but... meh. But Erin is home watching the game and doing her work, and I'm here fighting a cold and reading (TV is off)...
Which makes me happy because I'm re-reading The Penelopiad and remembering what an AWESOME book this is. It's one of those books that is so great you just feel like you're in love with it. And I am, I am in love with this book. Margaret Atwood can write some crap sometimes, but Handmaid's Tale and The Penelopiad will forever make her The Greatest as far as I'm concerned.
I'm supposed to be reading Flatland, by Edwin Abbott, but I printed it out from the computer and left it on the couch and THE DAMN CAT PEED ON IT, AGAIN. So instead of printing another copy, I'm taking some literary medicine in the form of The Penelopiad.
I realize this entry is all about "I'm sick," "I hate/am apathetic towards the SuperBowl," and "F***ing cat!" but still, all in all, I'm pretty happy, so that's the category this entry is listed under. On Friday I went to dinner with Erin, and we didn't have that much to drink, but somehow the combination of types of drinks we had was pretty deadly. Well, not deadly enough to prevent a couple hours of fun before we crashed in bed, but I felt very lucky to not feel any worse than slightly tired and cranky the next day. Then she made me a lovely dinner Saturday evening and we had a nice quiet time at home. Today, I am sick. We must pay for our happiness sometimes, I guess.
So drinking tea, reading my book, listening to the cat snore, and just hoping that I'm not really sick tomorrow. That is my update, that's all there is for now.

Your cat has clearly given an opinion about your literary choices.
