Plague rat! Plague rat!

...I came to work on Monday, and apparently looked quite ragged and feverish. The Inferno sent me home. You really have to be sick for the Inferno to send you home.

Anyway, I'm feeling much better after a day and a half of sleeping.

Off to see what blew up while I was gone...more later:)

I just finished the illustration I'm getting paid for...

...and I have to say: making crabs look confused and cute is *not* an easy job...but I managed. *bows* Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week, enjoy the buffet... I'll take pictures of it and see if Ben the Neighbor has room on the website. Mmmmm, crabs!

Things are interesting today. Here's a list:

One of my favorite cow-irkers is in the hospital again with pancreitis. I've called him a couple of times to see how he's doing and share various Inferno gossip, as he's very very bored and doped up to kill the pain. He's not allowed to eat *anything* at all, and one of the only shows he gets in the hospital is the Food Channel. Sheer torture...

Another favorite cow-irker is down with the same cold I've just been fighting. She went home early too.

Many cow-irkers and I have decided that the new purse with the bamboo handles I finished when I was sick did indeed look like I'd shaved a muppet. The next one I make gets googaly eyes, for sure. and yes, there will be more...many, many more...

There is a goofily crocheted Mr. Hanky now at my house. Long story. I bet it's gotten into the fridge while I'm gone...

So there you are. I'm gonna go home and nap a little,in my soft sweater. I hope I don't have crab-dreams while I'm asleep...
