Puny, punier, puniest

[linaewen]

pu·ny (pyn)  Pronunciation Key  
adj. pu·ni·er, pu·ni·est

1. Of inferior size, strength, or significance; weak: a puny physique; puny excuses.
2. Chiefly Southern U.S. Sickly; ill.

At our house over the two days, we have been vying for the top spot on who feels the puniest.  Hubby has the worst cough and rough-sounding throat, I feel the weakest and most like a limp rag, and have a bad throat as well, and Dear Son sounds like he is trying to play catchup with us, since he got a late start on his feeling puny.  We all three feel small and weak and sickly, and vaguely insignificant -- weird how that goes with being sick!

I'm not doing much of anything except being a layabout, but I guess that's the best thing I can do.  Hopefully I'll get back on track soon -- I miss the energy I had before all this started!

Uh oh. That is what I was afraid of when you were nowhere to be seen yesterday.

Well I guess you are meant to sit it out for awhile and focue on safeguarding your health. I truly hope that all of you feel better very soon!

This one was a particularly virulent bug to have hit all three of you at once! I sure hope that real estate agent didn't have a super-booked schedule while contagious or you aren't the only Family Puny out there.

Rest well my dear! I am thinking athelas thoughts.

Thank you for the athelas thoughts, my dear, and thank you especially for noticing I was missing in action. :-)

Oh no! There definitely seem to be a lot of sore throats where I work... I suspect an end-of-summer bug is going around.

*sends hobbits and tea and soup and blankies*

*sending chicken soup for comfort, cashmere blankets for snuggling, Nyquil for adequate doping up/sleeping, and a can of Popeye's best for renewed energy*

(((loves and hugs))))

*feels loved and thus feels much better*

Thanks especially for the chat, even though it was interrupted by coughing!

*hugs your puny self and your puny family and sends wishes that all three of you get better soon!*

Thanks, love. I can't wait to get better, this is a real drag! :-)

I know you are feeling puny, too, and I'm sorry! Hope you find out something when you go to the doctor on Monday -- something helpful. Take it easy, I'm thinking of you.

Sounds like the perfect weekend to snuggle up on the couch together and watch SERENITY

I wish you would

My son has been steeling himself to watch it, that's what we've been waiting for. It will be soon, I think.

Hope you are having a good weekend, and plenty of alone time for yourself.
