Yay! I'm phlegmish!
Why the rejoicing that I'm coughing goops again?
Becaus it means that I'm actually sick instead of that sort of halfway "am i coming down with something" that I've had since New years. And this particular form of "actually sick" is easily treatable with my trusty Z-pack!
I called my doc and asked that, since I am seeing her on Saturday anyway, could she just call in "my usual" to the pharmacy so I could get started and then we could check in on Saturday if I was worse or better. so Yaaaay!
I did a focus group tonight - SitterCity.com is thinking about starting a pet-sitting site and were looking for pet owners for some initial brainstorming. I got pizza, $50, and a chance to be heard on behalf of people who have something other than a cat or dog. I'll write more tomorrow - We came to some interesting conclusions about the various types of pet owners, but there was one thing i had to mention right away.
We were discussing various spins, "value" vs "exclusivity", "boutique" etc, because they rightly suspected that lots of pet owners totally spoil their pets. I had to say that I actually had a negative response to "exclusivity", as for me that has connotations of those crazy rich people with the purse puppies, etc. One woman has a roomate who works at the club next door, and she says that some woman actually tried to check a chihuahua at the coat check room last weekend. wow.

We actually had a guy who talked all about how his dog is his kid and how he buys organic this and whole grain that but admits that his dog is spoiled and badly behaved. Um - dude, I'll bet you'd both be a lot happier with a decent vet-formulated diet, some proper obedience training, and some more playtime in the park with you. Dogs aren't people (or accessories) - they are dogs.

As Pa put it, not completely jokingly, "Dogs is dogs."
