I stayed home sick today. I've caught Mark's cough-sore-throat-headache-fever thing. Actually both of us stayed home sick. I was forced to venture out into the world to visit the grocery store and get necessary supplies. This tapped whatever reserves I had. I come home, pull out my laptop to use in bed, and the cat decides he needs to be in my lap right then. So he jumps on top of my laptop, a little habit he's gotten in severe trouble for in the past. This time, he missed the jump, reached out a claw and removed four of my laptop keys as he slid down the bed!
I almost killed the cat. I'm certain I scared about eight of his nine lives off him when I screamed and then freaked out. He ran and hid, smart cat that he is, while I collected keys and spent the past half hour replacing them on the keyboard. Everything is now as it was, except the "z" key, which sits unlevel now due to the teeny tiny plastic piece that broke off the underside little clip. Due to this entire episode my headache has spiked horribly and I am now shaky as well as weak feeling. I am going to bed. And ignoring the cat, who is currently trying to make his amends with me.
