I don't know what it is, whether it's a side-effect of all the antibiotics, or my body reacting to the infection, or both, but lately, I've practically been hibernating. I'll take an afternoon nap, AND I'll sleep from the middle of the night til morning. *yawn*
In the middle of today's afternoon nap, my phone rang. I answered, and heard someone asking if my mother was there.
Fluffy: "My mother? I'm sorry, my mother died several years ago." To say the least!
Caller (whose accent hints at ESL origins): "No, Yemada. Is Yemada there?"
Fluffy: "No ma'am, I'm sorry, there's no one here by that name. Have a good weekend."
Add to that, a doozy from auto-correct. I was making a shopping list on my phone, and right up there at the top of the list was Neosporin. I was pecking it in, and auto-correct suggested Mesopotamia. I can just imagine *that* conversastion at checkout:
Cashier: "Did you find everything you were looking for today?"
Fluffy: "Well, I couldn't find Mesopotamia...."
Cashier: "Aisle nine, two shelves down from Knossos and a little to the left of Babylon."
Foot is definitely on the mend. I'm going to have to fight the temptation to Do Too Much. Although I've GOT to return all my overdue library stuff---I took it with me both time I went out with Mb, and didn't make it over there either time. Arrrgh! And laundry. I've got to get things set up so I can do laundry again....
