Dr Bob in One day at a time

Hello Girls (I can say that because I lost my one and only boy reader in the big move).

A moment of poor me-ed-ness. I have the flu. Well I think it is the flu - High temp, sore throat, sore head, achy and hot and cold. I had to diagnose myself because I couldn't get an appointment with my Doc for four days. Anyway a few days in bed and I am finally starting to feel a bit better. Still no appetite (which gives me a brief insight into those people who eat to live, rather than my usual M.O).

My room-mate has a girlfriend - just like last time, he has dived in at a ridiculous speed. First date was 10 Jan (I only know this because I was away and came home to find he had cleaned the house for the first time EVAH). Since then he has been spending about 4 nights a week at her house (and all weekend). She seems nice enough and I am loving having a bit of space but it is annoying because I never know when he is coming and going. My prediction is he will be leaving her toilet set up, and hogging her remote full time by May. It's going to be a pain in the arse as far as cat care goes when I next travel. BTW last time he met a girl, moved in with her within 6 weeks, discovered she was a meth addict and it was all over in 6 months tops.

Project Richard went well. Darling friend Donna came to the rescue and gave me a cooking class. We made a beef and beer casserole, chicken pot pies and cup cakes. He went into the hospital Tuesday and D and I dropped the food off to his Mother on Tuesday night. It was so good to see her again (it's been years), and she was delighted with the freezer food. R's op was a huge success and he was discharged on Thursday. That's if for me now though. I'm leaving it up, up to him.

Feck, I turn 49 on Saturday. Some ugliness around the birthday too, but I'll come back to that.
Dr me is sending me back to bed now.
