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....

*hugs* I suspect the sleepiness is dure to the infections, especially if you're running a bit of a fever. Although we usually associate fevers with colds and respiratory ailments, any kind of infection can produce a fever. Even if it's not, take it as your body's way of telling you to take it easy. When you get sleepy, stop & take a nap, if it's at all possible. (Obviously, grabbing a pillow and sacking out beside Babylon could be a mite perturbing to the manager.) ;P

Not to mention getting run over by all those chariots, er, shopping carts!

Isn't auto-correct hilarious? If you type in that the cat is barfing, it'll correct it to "barking." It's kind of like having an idiot cousin in convenient hand-held form. :D

Do not over-do, hon. *hugs* And at least wear socks out in the garage while you're hooking up the washing machine.

Every time *I* go looking for Mesopotamia, they're fresh out of it!

;-)

Instant aphasia, just add technology.

The Catch-22 is, I won't have socks until I do laundry. Woe iz toe!

.

I know, it's so hard to get fresh Mesopotamia, it always tends to be old and dusty!

ROFL! This is the best way I have EVER heard the autocorrect being described. They should market it like that!

I thought that after hearing my husband cursing vociferously while trying to get a simple text message right. :D

Hmm, that makes me happy of never getting a smartphone...
