Happy 7th anniversary, sdavido!

(And we're still not tired of each other. Amazing...)

I usually take a Fluffernutter to work for lunch. (This will not surprise anyone who's known me more than a few hours.) They're easy to make, don't need to be refrigerated, and (at least on my part) don't require much thought. And I like them.

Most often I'll make my lunch the night before. A couple times over the past few weeks sdavido has started putting lunch together for me when I was running late, or otherwise pressed for time.

Tonight I got home from work around 10 pm, and I need to get up early tomorrow to be downtown at 7:30 am. Came in thinking, "OK, have to make lunch..." and reached the kitchen to find that SD- had already made me a sandwich, and it was wrapped and waiting on the counter for me.

So, yes, love is a Fluffernutter. To me, at least.

Add to the previously-mentioned gifts from sdavido: a multicolored watch set, a bottle of perfume... and a pan of homebaked seven-layer bars from Baking Illustrated. Yummmmm. I told him I think he's discovered vettecat catnip...

In the meantime I got some unpacking done. Not as much as I'd hoped, but I can see a difference. It's progress at least.

sdavido just gave me a couple-days-early birthday present: a DVD recording of Torvill & Dean's "Bolero" performance at the '84 Olympics (complete with judges' marks). That's always been one of my favorites, and I have it on a VCR tape somewhere, but as he points out the tape is probably degrading. So now I have a copy that won't wear out. It's so nice that he knows what I like...

"If there is someone on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal."

Well, considering that sdavido and I met online... :-)

Good
sdavido surprised me tonight with something he sneakily ordered before I even knew it was out. The first season of MacGyver. Wheeee! I was a bit annoyed that they list his first name on the case, since that was always a Deep Dark Secret (I only remember it being mentioned in two episodes), but nevertheless I'm looking forward to watching it again. Hmmm, maybe if we can tame the Clutter Demon, I'll have a MacGyver party sometime...

Bad
sdavido's cold has gotten much worse. He's been running a fever since yesterday (102.7 as of a few hours ago), and has a really deep nasty cough which gets worse if he tries to talk. He didn't go to work today, and he's not going tomorrow. But I called our doctor tonight, and he prescribed some antibiotics over the phone, so hopefully we'll see some improvement soon. (His reaction to my asking if we should come to the office: "Don't take him out in this cold weather! He'll get worse!" I like having a practical doctor.) Both my parents have colds of varying severity, too. Thank G-d I have a good immune system, so as long as I don't let myself get depleted, I should be OK.

Fuzzy
So, can cats catch a human virus? I always thought those couldn't cross the species boundary, but sdavido has been trying not to breathe on her, just in case. Anyone know for sure?
