To all the Cutie sisters & brothers......may you all have a 2013 full of joy & good health........

Santa brought Jim & I a wonderful case of the flu and even though we like to share, we have stayed secluded to not infect others. We postponed his birthday celebration (he is a New Years Eve baby) until further notice..........the only thing we have really been able to do is keep the cat's fed, litter scooped and him & I hydrated.......pretty good, I'd say! I have missed many of your birthdays and I want to wish you all a Happy Be-Lated Birthday.....I just had a thought.... I could say that "2012 flu by".....LOL! Hugs to all...Vicki

Everyone (mostly) has gotten sick around town.....You're right that we are getting it over with at the same time, but it's terrible to have to wait on yourself when sick...LOL!

So sorry that bug caught up with you two! You have a lot of company however! Coughing, blowing, etc seems to be the thing to be doing! Hope you get better fast! I don't think the cough will leave until spring!!

Oh, Vicki, I'm so sorry. I LOVE your joke though. I hope you and darling hubby are soon well and able to keep the cats up in the custom that they have come to expect. ;)

Oh, so cute!!!! You are so right about the cats expecting all customs to stay the same.......you can just hear them saying "just because your sick, doesn't mean we have to suffer". We, too, hope to be celebrating his birthday really soon........thanks, Jerilyn......hugs.......

That is horrible. We have had the stomach flu that lasted about 3-4 days. The first day the worst. Then we have had the upper respiratory crude. I am still down from it and have had it almost 2 weeks. I was started on antibiotics yesterday. Hope to be feeling better soon - but with all the g-kids coming in and out and them passing it around at school and at home I don't know.
Hope you both are able to get better soon.

We spent alot of time with "sickies" on Christmas Eve & Day, so I guess it was inevitable to get it! It certainly is a gift that keeps on giving...LOL! I hope you are soon well, it is so overwhelming to keep getting something one after another!!

Oh my, not how I would choose to have you spend Christmas. I know all about it though. My husband and I spent one Christmas very much as you have. It was miserable, but we actually ended up with some good stories from it. So rest, stay hydrated and get well soon.

Thanks, Bev........one of the kitties threw up in the kitchen today, and Jim & I both looked at each other, like, who's going to clean it up? Well, I got elected...LOL! I told him this is the last time we both get sick at the same time!!!

Vicky I hope you are feeling better soon. What a pity for your hubby to miss his birthday-party. Maybe your cat should do some training in doing the job of a nurse? :o)

Sorry you both were sick. i understand the flu this year is really bad. I had one friend that was sick the whole month of Dec. The stuff just kept coming back. Every time she got better , she would get sick again. Do you get the flu shot? Kay

basketkase by basketkase 01 Jan 2013

Too cute,Kay, and my head swims like this little mouse's! Jim gets the flu shot, so he is sick with bronchitis......I am allergic to the preservative in the shots, so I can't have it, therefore that is what I got...UGH!
