hopefully amusing

lavandarlizard2Another short one, I'm afraid. ^.o
And a random bit of useless, but interesting information, 'on the ground' in my area. ^___^
One of our local high schools (frequently known affectionately as "cowpie high" since it was built of the site of a former dairy) has just been closed for two weeks in an effort to disrupt the transmission cycle of the H1N1/2009 flu. I'm starting to think that my city could actually be run by some pragmatists. O.o Wow. I hope it works. Another interesting possibility is that people born before 1957 could possibly have a bit of immunity to the current flu, as it is a variant of an older strain that mutated back in the day. Being a *very* old dragon, this makes me smile. Sounds like a case of 'old age and treachery trumping youth and enthusiasm'.
Seriously; do eat, rest and stay healthy, so that whatever virus you come across is powerless against your immune-fu. ^___^
BTW, more recent tracing of the initial cases of the current flu indicate that it started in California, and was taken to Mexico from whence it spread. ^___^ Y'all be sure and avoid those Californians now; hear?
*giggle*
Zuma showed up at my door about 0900 with his book, a twelve-pack of soda and a pout. It’s not unusual; we’ve done this now and then, just sharing space so that neither of us is alone. He says my room is “cozy” which I think is Elfish code for “messy as hell”, but he seems to be okay with it. It’s all yarn anyway. Once I learned to knit, the yarn just started accumulating… like magic. Ha-ha.
He blinked at me oddly when I opened the door, and it took me a moment to remember that I’d gotten my hair cut – only two days ago! – and hadn’t mentioned it when I talked to him yesterday. He walked around me, looking me up and down thoroughly, before saying, “That looks great. Not so much work now?”
“Not so much work,” I agreed with a grin.
“You know, Wufei will fall over when he notices. He worships your hair.”
It had not even entered my mind that anyone else would notice – or care – what I did with my hair. Q hadn’t said a word, but maybe he hadn’t seen it. I don’t recall turning my back on him during the fire call. Well. That could make for an interesting morning tomorrow.
I snorted. “I don’t think he cares diddly about my hair, just that he isn’t the one canoodling with it.”
“Oh, that too,” he agreed rather wistfully.
It’s been explained to me more than once that every male in the office – including Esteban – has some weird fascination with me. I think it’s bullshit, but I acknowledge the possibility. After all, I didn’t even realize that Wufei and Trowa were hitting on me when I first got here. Clueless, that’s me. As long as it amuses my friends, what the hell, y’know.
