Too Sick to Sign

I just bowed out of Saturday's signing.  What I thought was a cold on its way out has morphed into something involving chills, fever and the mother of sore throats.
But none of this means you should stay home if you were thinking of going.  The Annapolis Borders signing still boast six great authors--D. Renee Bagby, Dana Marie Bell, Stephanie Burke, Monica Bell, Margaret L. Carter and Melissa Schroeder, lots of books and fun for all.
Except me.  :-(  Eat a piece of chocolate cheesecake for me, guys!

add alcohol to the tea and cuddle up on the couch for a marathon of some hunky guys. That should have you feeling better in no time, or at least not care that you don't feel good. Plus you can always blame the drool on being sick . . .

Alas, the booze will only make me feel worse. The Hunk-a-thon, on the other hand, has real possibilities. Plus, I'm home, which is the best incentive I know to recovery. Speaking of which, how is SJ doing? I've been wanting to call, but my throat hasn't been up to much conversation.
Concerned hugs,
Jean Marie

No, no! You're supposed to be on the mend! I second Tree220's suggestions. Hunks galore. Always a way to spark the immune system into action.

I'm working on it. Had to make the first part of a nonfiction deadline first. Have I mentioned lately how very glad I am I don't have to do this stuff in an office anymore?
Hugs an smiles,
Jean Marie

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon!
We're having a chocolate festival near here. I'll think of you when we go. :)♥

Thanks {{{{klgrem}}}}. Hope you have lots of fun--and good munchies--at the chocolate fest. I wish I was there too. :-)
Big hugs,
Jean Marie

I am sorry to hear you are sick and that it blew your signing for Saturday. Curl up on the couch, drink tea and stay under a blanket.

That's pretty much the plan now that I've finished my allotted portion of paid work for the day. Having the world's finest kitty hot water bottle is a good thing too. :-) Big hugs to you and realthog, Jean Marie

Stay home, wrap up warm, drink plenty of fluids, and take care. Big hugs.

Trying to do all three {{{{hutch0}}}}. :D Big hugs and smiles, Jean Marie

There really does seem to be a lot of this going around. Half of our office either have it or have had it. Take care.

Clearly you need more cat on your lap.

Thanks {{{{{quietselkie}}}}}. I'll be moving to the sofa to give Duzie better access in a minute. But what's a limoncello? Big hugs, Jean Marie

Italian lemon liqueur, thick as cough syrup and six times as sweet. I figure there MUST be vitamin C in it.

Ooooh, that sounds fabulous! Thanks again! Big hugs, Jean Marie
