Argh, got my first cold of the season & piss watch

I must have picked up a bug at the TG potluck. I gave it a chance to grow when I stayed up until 3 AM because we had to take Chippy to the kitty ER. Chippy had some blood in his urine. He seems fine now, but he has to be sequestered so we can monitor his pee action. aka piss watch. Yes, very uncouth of me.


My cold sucks big time. I have a foggy head with mega ear and throat pain. Talking and swallowing really hurts.

At least there isn't any coughing. When I get a cough w/ a cold, it lingers for months after the cold. I finally found a good doctor the last time I was battling w/ the cough.

You're probably wondering why I'm posting instead of sleeping. I needed a break from laying around in bed. I'll be back up in my bedroom prison with Chippy soon enough.

I made Julie Hasson's cobbler last week, and it is really good and most importantly very easy to make - just pour in the batter, then put fruit on top, the oven does the rest. I used blueberries as well as blackberries.

I know I've posted about Pizza Pi before, but it's awesome so you'll have to suffer through another post about them. My evil plan is to brainwash you into craving pizza - not exactly that difficult to do. Hey, I'm sick (wah), so my goals have been lowered.

We went the day after TG because cooking was too much effort. We got a cheezeburger pizza and a meatball pizza with green peppers, green olives and onion. We also got a caesar's salad. I'm really taken with the cheezeburger pizza - can you tell? The next vegan meetup is at Pizza Pi, so you know what I'm getting :)

Andy just sent me this link about cafe flora adding cocktails to their menu. Before they only had 1 vegan wine by the glass, but it was white (bleah).

I'm so boring, I will probably still get tea when I go there. They now use Remedy tea. I had a glass of regular black iced tea and it was really gross. Their earl grey was good which is important because that is what I drink for hot tea.

I caused mayhem in the house because I put some baby blankets around the big cat toy thing making a cabana, though I guess it's a catbana. Each level in the big cat toy is only big enough for 1 cat, but those worms managed to stack themselves in anyhow (Chippy, Peepa, The Judge).

I had to take the blankets down because Tubs would go on the level above it and start beating on anybody in the catbana level through through the hole they are supposed to use to move up and down the toy. Nothing new for this toy, but the blankets trapped them in more.
