The Terrible Illness of Doom

Sill sick, ugh. How long can these things possibly last , we ask ourselves???? I finally gave in and called my Doctor who gave me Medicine, and said I would feel better in some few days. He gave my sickness a name too, but I cannot possibly SPELL it , so to keep things simple we shall just refer to it as " The Terrbile Illness of Doom "

The Terrible illness of Doom, Jody and I all went to Madison yesterday to see our friends John and Krissy Scalzi, and despite the fact that John is very funny and every time he said something , I coughed up another bit of lung, we had a great time. He has a mighty fun Blog himself, which you can read at http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/

( someone must teach me how to do that thing where you highlight a name and can click on it, apparently it is not hard and even I should be able to master it, terrible illness of doom and all )

Another of our friends, Maureen, was down at the convention too . Maureen is an artist who made a pair of Doc Martin boots for each of the Endless and donated them to the Fiddlers Green Auction last fall for the CBLDF. I fell head over heels ( HEELS?? I kill myself! )( Might want to start laying off the cough medicine tho... ) in love with the Desire Boots and won them then. In fact the very first letter I ever wrote Malena, way back in December, talked a lot about those boots. Malena really loves those boots too, ( how could one not? Knee hight, red leather , with gold chains??? ) Anyway, Maureen has offered to make Malena a pair too , which made me, and will make her, very happy. You can see pictures of all the Endless boots over at : http://www.stardust-and-alchemy.com/portfolio/fgdmboots/docfun.html

Now today has turned lovely, and it is the last day for getting in the garden, as I am going back to LA on Thursday and need to work inside the rest of the week. Jody is still here and willing and our good friend Chris the Fop is coming to lend a hand, and it is my dearest hope that we can get the thing planted. Evil Racoons have been DIGGING UP my tomatos , I think they like the organic food I have been putting down for them ( for the tomatos, not the racoons) and I am at my wits end. My boss has ordered a couple of Scare Squirts which out to fix the buggers. ( motion activated sprinklers they are )

Love, light, tomaots and cough medicine,
Lorraine and the Terrible Illness of Doom
