swingchickie1. i ran out to CVS to restock my cough drops, cold medicine, and tissues w/lotion... as i took my bag o' sick stuff off the counter to leave, the pharmacy tech called out "hey, i hope you feel better". i guess it was obvious that all of those items were for me... but it was nice to hear.
2. when i came home, i pulled into my driveway and came face-to-face with a young deer. s/he moseyed off to the side a bit, i slowly got out of my car, and we both stood there for a while checking each other out. i love deer, they are so incredibly beautiful... and i'm glad i finally saw one in my yard. jack has seen deer poopies in my yard, i'm guessing they're eating the fallen crabapples from one of my trees... but this was my first sighting in my yard. awww.
3. jack joined the game site i go on sometimes to play scrabble and gin and stuff. it's so dorky, but logging in to play a game and seeing a message from him saying "i love you" got me all stupid and schmoopy. har.
*where did that expression come from, anyway? is it a rabies thing?

So sorry you're sick!
Date: 2008-11-17 06:30 pm (UTC)A quick google on "sick as a dog" got me two facts:
1. It's pretty old - at least back to the 1700s.
2. No one agrees on the origins.
For point #2, I learned that maybe it's because we see dogs vomit more than other animals because (a) they're around and (b) they'll eat anything, so they have occasion to puke. Someone else speculated that we use dogs 'cause they're frequently associated with unpleasant things, linguistically speaking (dog in the manger, dog's breath, etc).
So nobody else knows either.
