George

I am still sick. Can you believe it? I thought stomach bugs were suppose to run their course within a couple of days. It's been 4 days now... I may have to go to the doctor (unfortunately my doctor isn't a smoking hot vampire...). I spent most of the day curled up on the couch with a blanket and pillow watching a HOUSE marathon on tv (love that show... too bad he's not my doctor either). I was really only missing one thing.... George. You may remember from a previous post that George is my cat. I've had him for as long as I can remember, and he is my baby. I love him to death, but I can't have pets in my apartment (and Matthew is allergic). He lives with my mom right now. I can't imagine much of anything that would have made me feel better than to have him curled up beside me just purring away.

While thinking about this, I came across this article on MSN. I have always argued that pets are good for stress relief, and this is just further evidence. I have considered getting a doctors note so that I can have George because I am easily stressed. What do you think? Do you think it will work?? Nice thought, but I don't have the guts to try it. Whatev.
