*Blarg* I r sick.

[starzki]

scribefigaro gave me his lovely cold.  Yuck.  But I made myself a smoothie full of lovely potassium, antioxidant, calcium, and vitamin C powers to make me better, so I think I'll go for a run later.

But the apartment people are re-concreting our landing, so I'm not allowed to leave the apartment for another hour or so.  Grrr.

Anyway, funny story:

Yesterday, I woke up and started doing laundry.  I wanted to get a load in ASAP because I had a vet appointment for the puppy later that morning and wanted things to be mostly done by I had to get out.  Therefore, I just woke up, separated the laundry, and took the first load downstairs to get into the washer.  I hadn't even put on my glasses, yet.

When I got back upstairs, I went to go check my email.  From behind me, I heard the apartment door start to open and the dogs started barking.  I thought I had forgotten to lock the door behind me and someone was coming in!  So it turns out that I have the exact same response to strangers coming in the front door as my dogs.  I charge and bark.  Only, for me, the "barking" was me going, "Hey!  Hey you!  Don't come in here!"  I thought I was going to have to punch someone in the face! (Yes, that was my exact thought at the time.)

Luckily, I noticed my big, mean, guard dog wagging  his tail at the "intruder" before I had to put up my dukes.  It was scribefigaro who had come home from work after discovering a problem with his laptop.  Scared me half-to-death!  He had tried to call me to warn me that he was on his way up, only I was in the laundry room at the time.  Oh well.

But it's nice to know that I'd be willing to fight off an intruder if I had to!
