Meh! ... the cold has caught me. I'm thankful it's not in my chest nor in my head. It's one I get ever so often. It sits right in the base of my throat, wrapping around my larynx, rasping and deepening my voice. When I used to work in the corporate world (primarily with men), my guys would tease me when I got this type of cold, calling it my 1-800-norajean voice.
Frank is fussing and doting on me .... bringing me tea and toast in bed this morning. I'm not really all that sick but he insists so I let him because that's how he loves me ...
All in all, I'm blogging this because it's a good excuse to share this caption I saw online this morning. Besides describing how I feel, it's a whole new take on those couple of words I love to hate .... ;>))
... doing it Doggie Style
Hi Nora Jean, sorry you are down with a cold. Lovely that Frank is fussing over you, I would let him too! lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the caption, definitely brings a new meaning, I could definitely go for some of that lol

Nora Jean,
ReplyDeleteYou have me laughing from the beginning. We are still nursing coughs so I know how you feel. Ugh!

Sounds like a lovely way to spend the day. I used to get a cold and lose my voice at least once a winter. NOT a good thing for a teacher. I found out the kids would usually behave for a day if I had no voice, but one day was all they would give me. If it lasted longer I had to take a sick day even though I felt fine. Hope you're all well soon.
ReplyDeleteOh sorry to hear you are suffering with a cold NoraJean. Chicken soup and pineapple juice are good remedies. Hope you feel better soon, in the mean time let Frank pamper you.
ReplyDeleteHugs Lindy xx
Hi Nora Jean, hope you feel better soon. Right now I know how you feel :(
ReplyDeletelove Jan, xx
Hope you are feeling better soon. We all need a 'dog day' every now and then....hugs abby
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better - colds are an awful thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks every one for the get well wishes. It is 'just a cold' but like everyone I am sure, a cold just makes me feel miserable but not sick enough that I feel I can go to bed and pull the covers over my head. I have 'office' type work to do this week so will be at the computer again today - nothing too strenuous.
ReplyDeleteYes, Meredith, I was LMAO when I saw the Doggie Style caption on FB and my first thought was how could I share this with my blogland friends .. well blog of course. Second ... I am a long time fan of Lily Tomlin and especially her character Ernestine. I have a fondness for her because I did, once upon a very long time ago, actually do that job ... and for a short time, with a 'board' that looked very much like the one in the picture (how's that for an instant 'you are so old' fact :>)) ... I didn't say 'one ringy, dingy' tho' :>))) ... have a good Friday, everyone! ... nj ... xx
Well, this is quite late, but I am sure you will understand seeing as you are sick yourself. Awful few weeks! Hope you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteI really laughed at this post. Sam always says he wants to be reincarnated as a suburban dog. Sleep in the sun, bark at the mailman, and gnaw on a bone.
Hugs From Ella
Just glad to have you back, Ella!
DeletePeople often tell us, they'd like to come back as one of our dogs, the spoiled pooches that they are :))

Hope you feel better soon. Sickness is everywhere here, and I finally got it last week. Not quite what I thought when I read doggie style, ;) but very cute. :)
