The Life & Times Of The Shaffer Family
The Fun Never Ends…
Sorry it’s been so long since I last posted here, but it’s been one thing after another here lately… and another, and another, and another, and another, and another.
My 38th birthday was on February 18th… I don’t mind getting older, as I equate age with life experience, but it is kind of freaky to be 2 years away from being 40. I’m sure I’ll get over it though. *lol*
We got Christopher’s ashes back, and I still need to make up a memorial web page for him. His death also hit me a lot harder than I thought it would, as I’ve been feeling a little low lately, and finally traced it back to my feelings over his death. Hopefully when we get around to adopting a new cat from KittiCo it will help raise my spirits. I know Gus will be happy to have a brother, who is not elderly & too frail, to play with.
The whole household was laid low with the flu two weeks ago… It was the kind of flu where you’re either vomiting, or running to the bathroom because you have the trots from hell, but thankfully it was never both at the same time. Thank the Gods! Morgan, of course had it first, since he was the one to bring it home from school. I came down with it next, then Pookey. Morgan was home from school for almost the entire week, which sucked because it was the week before his spring vacation. (Doesn’t that figure?) Pookey was home from work for the entire week, and his employers were extremely lucky that he can work from home because there was no way he could have made it into work. The fun highlights of this illness include having to change Morgan’s bed 3 times for various reasons that I am sure you can imagine for yourself, including the night where we thought he was asking to be tucked into bed, but he had actually thrown up all over it. *sigh* Plus, it was one of those flus that totally wipes you out, and it takes you weeks to fully recover from it. I’m still tired.
As I mentioned above Morgan had his spring vacation last week, and finally went back to school today. Yaaaaaaay!!!!! Unfortunately he got used to staying up way too late, so he didn’t get to sleep until late last night, so he’ll be dragging his ass when he comes home from school. With any luck he’ll end up going to bed early tonight.

Happy belated birthday. Mine came and went with a wimper rather than a bang too. I was sick as a dog for my b-day. Not that it really matters at 42, birthdays just don’t hold the magic any more. Also I know how you feel about Morgan being sick. Ellen caught flu twice in one week then quickly followed it with Strep throat, all of which she lovingly passed on to me.
Wo we did a lot of bed changing too, the fun just never ends. Now she has the cough from hell and life just gets better and better. Anyway, hope your energy returns soon and things get back to normal.
Love ya Sis,
Martin
