I\u2019m writing for tomorrow, day 32.  It\u2019s official.  My annual winter flu has hit.  My COPD is severe, and I\u2019m running a fever.  The cartoon describes how I feel, so this is the only article.  Yesterday Providence Home Services stood me up.  Apparently they forgot to put my order on the delivery truck  They finally delivered it this afternoon, after three fights with their Customer Disservice department.  When they told me they didn\u2019t know why it hadn\u2019t occurred to them to call me, when they discovered my order, I suggested that they have all the competence of the US Congress.  This is the only article.  Tomorrow is a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  My Broncos are worshiping with the Bills, but it won\u2019t be televised locally.  Our local CBS affiliate thinks we\u2019d rather have paid programming, because the damn Seachickens are on the other network at the same time.  ARGH! \ud83d\ude41<\/font><\/p>\n
