Nice?

The missed chiropractic appointment has caught up to me. It's back to vicious neck pain and searing headaches every day until Monday (this is just background whining, I swear).

Alpha cornered me in the kitchen and grabbed the back of my head, giving me the distinct impression that his greatest desire in the moment was to yank my head back and take a bite out of my jugular.
He proceeded to glare at me and say, "How come the times I really want to be 'nice' to you are when you're annoyingly incapacitated?"

Umm...
"It's not my fault that I'm cranky when my head hurts! You could be 'nice' when it doesn't hurt..."

He growled and wandered off in search of smaller and, (as far as I'm concerned) more deserving prey.

That's all I've got. Except that the little guy and I somehow now magically have the head and chest cold the big kid had.
And now I'm off to make lemon cake at six AM because it's my mom's birthday and she likes to ask for lemon meringue cake, which is the only cake I know that has to be made the day you eat it.
On the bright side, we won't get her sick! lol. She's already sick.

January is not nice.
Though I did hear a rumor that temperatures were supposed to rise above freezing this week! Oh wait...That was last week. Next week maybe?
Not a nice month at all lol.

    1. tori,
      we're both doing much better, thank you!

      Well, it was for her 60th birthday, and the cake just isn't as good the second day. Though, cooking before coffee is really a hard limit...

    Hope you're feeling better soon so Alpha can be "nice"

      what we need is a way to email cake. Then everything in the world would be as it should!

  6. Do you think he wants to be "nice" to you then because your defenses are down? Half the work is done and the D in him recognizes it?

    Plus you are likely very sexy.

    1. Kitty,
      Hmmm, kind of like softening up a piece of jerky before you consume it completely?

      rofl, oh yes--I know I'm sexy with my hoody, snot and trails of toilet paper. I'm a walking Victoria's Secret commercial.

  7. I agree January is not a nice month. If I could figure out how I swear I would sleep through the whole thing. Feel better soon :)
