Questions

Where is my pink cashmere sweater?
Where is my Knitting For Dummies book?
Why do I look so stupid today?
Why AM I so stupid today?
Did we really get frost last night? The beans and cucumbers seem to think we did.
Why is it so far from my laundry room to where I keep my clothes?
Why have my hens completely quit laying eggs?
Why can't I just go lay down on the couch like a normal sick person instead of wandering around the house, trying to figure out what I'm doing?
And why, why WHY is everything on every fucking one of the ten thousand channels on the TV such crap?
And finally...
Is tequila with Ibuprofen a reasonable substitution for NyQuil?

  1. Within that last question may lie some of the answers to your other questions...

  2. um...to your last question, I would say yes. Why not? As long as you've got nothing urgent to do...no babies t look after, cars to drive, I should say that that sounds just fine.

    Knitting for Dummies? that exists??? My sister in law came to stay last month and i have ten mintues video of her showing me how to cast on...it's like maths to me, knitting, i JUST DO NOT GET IT

    hope you feel better soonxxx

  4. Answering your questions to the best of my ability...

    Where is my pink cashmere sweater?....On sale at Macy's


    Where is my Knitting For Dummies book? On sale at Borders.


    Why do I look so stupid today? You could never look stupid unless you're looking at me while wearing a mirror.

    Why AM I so stupid today? Stupid is as stupid does or so says Forest Gump. But you are NOT stupid......I know.


    Did we really get frost last night? WE had a frost a couple of weeks ago. And keep getting them. You're in Florida. Relish in the fact that you don't live in Canada (sorry Canada, you guys are a beautiful country but cold)

    The beans and cucumbers seem to think we did.

  5. Stupid me! I hit send wayy too early. I'm easily distracted..

    Why is it so far from my laundry room to where I keep my clothes?
    Why have my hens completely quit laying eggs?
    Why can't I just go lay down on the couch like a normal sick person instead of wandering around the house, trying to figure out what I'm doing? Because you're the sweat it out type of person. Sweat out your cold, feel better faster.


    And why, why WHY is everything on every fucking one of the ten thousand channels on the TV such crap? Because the cable company really wants you to drop cable and save money

    And finally...
    Is tequila with Ibuprofen a reasonable substitution for NyQul....Yes! YES!!

  6. Tequila and ibuprofen sounds good to me; I did the same thing last night and it worked great ~ so great, in fact, that I just may join you tonight!

    As to all the other questions:
    because, just because.

  7. I say go for the Tequila and Ibuprofren instead of the Nyquil. That stuff makes me worse -- pushes all the cold/flu back inside to fester.

  8. Jo- Not yet. Still on tea. Cup after cup of tea.

    Screamish- It's probably just as well that I can't find that book. I suck at knitting when I'm well. And as to the tequila and Ibuprofen- so far I'm just doing the Ibuprofens.

    Lois- I'm thinking...

    Rebecca- I want MY pink cashmere sweater from Goodwill! It's here somewhere, dammit! And I don't have cable- satellite. We don't even HAVE the cable option in Lloyd. No pizza delivery either. No delivery of any kind, in fact. Except for mail if you want it. I go to the P.O.

    Lulumarie- All righty then! Yay!

    Elizabeth- I have no NyQuil. I DO, however have tequila and Ibuprofen.

  9. That is all Nyquil IS. Go for it :)

  10. It certainly goes down smoother. Get better, Ms. Moon.

  11. uhm..i m not sure if...what wa sthe question again?..oh..yes tequilla..always a good friend!!..and tequilla is like black..it goes with everything...

    so the answer is: tequilla is the new black!!!

  12. Sounds like a good combo to me. Last night I was cold so I was drinking hot chocolate with a splash of coconut rum. Mmmmmm!


    I think you loaned the book and Mr. Moon is wearing that pink cashmere sweater right now somewhere in the woods. :)

  13. SJ- I sort of wish I had some Nyquil.

    Nancy C- I think I'm too tired now for tequila. Damn.

    Danielle- And we are always looking for the new black.

    Mel's Way- Hot chocolate and coconut rum sound pretty nice to me. I don't think Mr. Moon could get that sweater on. Maybe he's sleeping with it.

  14. oh gosh you're funny, in that crazy sick wandering place, poor baby. rest your mind with some drugs, esp with no hubby around.

    that was quite a funny list.
    thanks for making me laugh on this Sunday night. I was sick all morning with stomach issues but finally got it under control and met a new friend for coffee for the first time. you know what a big deal that is for me.

    nice to come home to some chat from you, even though you're ill you're still here with us, which is so nice.
    thanks for writing.

  15. PS I hope you're pink sweater finds you and you wake to eggs and all the "stupid" feelings lifted.

    for some reason the way do i look so stupid today question is making me laugh out loud. We all know THAT feeling. but you phrased it just right.

  16. Bethany- I swear, even though I am here completely alone, I had to take my stupid-looking slippers off and replace them with socks because if I, by chance, saw myself in the mirror, I might just die. And my sweater? It shouts Old Woman Who Gets Her Clothes In Trash Cans.

  17. And here I thought, reading all those questions, that you had already been into the cold medicine...sure you didn't drink the Nyquil first? =o) Your next delivery should be hot ginger lemonade with honey and brandy. Wish I was there to make it. Make another cup of tea, fill up a hot water bottle and wrap it in an old sweater (doesn't have to be pink or cashmere) and go lie down.
    Warm hugs, N2

  18. Tequila with anything sounds bad to me. Sorry, but I never developed a taste for that. And I once got really puking drunk on gin so can't go there either. I would be a sorry ass alcoholic.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Funny how they tell you to almost never to take meds with alcohol, yet NyQuil is 20% alcohol.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Bethany- I am so glad you went out for coffee. Was it fun?

    N2- Can I have the tea with rum instead? Maybe tonight I'll do that.

    Syd- Lucky you.

    Nick- I know! Damn!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes, I'm quite sure that would work as a substitution and a good one!

  22. Well, is tequila with Ibuprofen a reasonable substitution for NyQuil?

    ReplyDelete
  23. We get that now as well - for every ten channels they add, less is on TV. We had better TV when we still had three channels only.

    My mother used to take special painkillers with a coctail of crap (and two of them) and combine them with a bottle of Chablis.
