Dear Doll-face,
Today I had thought about making a post about how the people I work with have become a second family.. however someone cornered me and asked me to swap shifts with them part of the way through my day, so I worked for 13 hours when I was only meant for 6.
I'm really tired... because I haven't had a day off in 7. I mostly want to cry because my feet are burning from being so busy.
It has been a long day.
Love you.

Teh Flu
Dear Doll-face
I have had the flu. It has been terrible. I ended up getting kicked out of work Friday and calling into work today because I have been so sick. I think by tomorrow morning I will be strong enough to work my short shifts though. I'm still coughing and blowing my nose, but the chills are gone, and I am so sick of laying in bed.
Your big brother ended up having to try and force feed me soup yesterday, I was too weak to hold the bowl up. I maybe at half of it before I just gave up and fell back asleep. After I called in sick at about 5am and puked up all the medicine I tried to take, I slept until around 11 and for the first time I felt a little bit refreshed. I still feel sick, but I don't feel like I'm going to die, so this is a major bonus.
I just hate that I had to miss work... but my manager wasn't mad at me, and I think it's because I've been picking up so many extra hours that she understood. Not to mention we've had sick individuals at the house, so sick that she caught it from them too. She probably just assumes that I caught the same thing from being around them so much.
That's probably true.
For the most part, the cats have kept me company for hours at a time. Sometimes I'll only have one of them, other times I'll have all three in bed with me. It's been comforting to have them around and listening to them purr.
Your brother has been a saint, at 2am I got lonely and upset so I went into the blue bedroom and fell asleep while he played video games. I woke up to him curled up asleep on the foot of that bed with me hours later. He's still asleep there now, but I left him when I called in sick. He doesn't need these germs, and he needs the rest so he doesn't come down with this next.
Okay, so I'm still not well, and I can tell because I am getting really tired and all I've done is type this and click a few links on reddit.. so I am going to go back to bed for a while.
Take care of yourself. We miss you.

Poor Bella
Dear Doll-face,
This past weekend Michael and I went to visit Ryan and Kayla in their new house. The good news is they got the toilet working before we got there. The bad news is we only had one sink and no shower that weekend.
We were both glad to get home and shower last night.
My mom took Bella for the weekend.. she was so sad when we left her and so happy when we came back to get her. Evidently she started looking for us at about 10pm each night we were gone.
Here are a couple pictures of Bella torture:
Evidently she was not completely amused by being all dressed up and having no where to go... but now she is home with her cats so she is happy again.
Speaking of home with her cats.. mom also randomly entered a silent action to support a kids group back home. One of the things she entered the raffle for was a kitty starter kit. It came with a food dish, treats, kitty litter, and plenty of toys with catnip. We have had three very happy and stoned kitties in the house since we brought that home.
Well, Michael is about done making dinner, and then I need to head to bed shortly so I can be super peppy for work tomorrow morning at 6am. I hope you're doing alright, we miss you to pieces...

Pentacorn
Dear Doll-face,
I guess I got busy this weekend and didn't have time to write.. or at least that is the excuse I am going with.
Today I had my first day as a glorified babysitter. It was frustrating and nice all at the same time. Funnily enough I ended up hearing and half watching a couple episodes of the Gilmore Girls. The show reminded me that the actor that played Dean, Rori's first love.. also plays Sam in Supernatural. Now I remember why I didn't like same.. it was because I was always more into Jess and Rori than Dean and Rori... maybe it's because when I was a teenager I ended up with the Jess instead of the Dean too.
I'm not as tired as I need to be to be asleep and up at 5am tomorrow. Tomorrow is my longer day, but I don't really mind it.
Operation L and Bella is... happening. Today he growled less, and she mostly listened to my commands. I think next week we will start putting him in his kennel and taking him downstairs into her territory since he's starting to get used to her coming into his.
So... perhaps you have noticed that the title of this entry is "Pentacorn"
That's because Bo Burnham came to our local state university this past weekend, and I went. It was AMAZING. HILARIOUS... I have no photos or video because that was banned. He made fun of our Union Board's logo... and at the part of "Oh Bo" where the guys are supposed to call back... all of the jackasses yelled louder than the ladies.
As this point he told the leathernecks that they didn't disappoint... and then asked our university to please change the logo.. because it looked like a rejected Sunny D logo... (earlier he said it looked like a mash up of every 90's nickelodeon cartoon logo ever made) Mere seconds after he said that the light guys changed the color of the logo spotlight being projected on the wall from white to yellow... Bo actually forgot where he was in the song because he was laughing so hard. It was a good show, heard some of the classic stuff, heard some stuff I hadn't heard.. but mostly you're just jealous right now because I went and you didn't.
Anyway, I'm going to head off to bed.. <3 you!
