It’s another painful day here in the CatBox.  I spent another 90 minutes this morning on the throne with Republicitis.  I had a lengthily exchange of message with Becky, my pain specialist.  I’ll be there for an infusion on Friday, and while there, I’ll pick up new patches that will be 100 mg, up from the present 75.  Yesterday I found the Super Bowl very disappointing.  Both teams played very well, but the officiating was so poor and so one sided that they caused a blow-out instead of what should have been a very close game.  It’s a shame that the Chiefs were not allowed to play.  I trust Nameless will agree.  All kidding aside, they are his team, but I was privileged to borrow them.  WWWendy is coming tomorrow, but she won’t be here until late afternoon, so I hope to be in the saddle.  Oh God, it’s Monday!<\/font><\/p>\n
