today has been another low key day with two more family members falling victim to whatever virus ails us. when i picked livie up from school, her teacher told me she'd been complaining of a sore throat. late this afternoon, la fu started acting funny. i love my bug very, very much, but i have to admit i am far less worried about her than i am about la fu b/c she can tell me what hurts and i can understand her body temperature and behavior. i cannot do any of this with la fu. i am checking on him periodically and plan to cozy up with him and my nook in a few minutes, but if he's not his rambunctious self by noon tomorrow, i am packing up his furry self for a trip to the vet. la fu did have a pretty tough case of kitty flu when he was rescued by the SPCA, and i was warned by the vet at the SPCA that the stress of moving house could cause him to relapse into the kitty flu, so that may be all that's going on, but again, since la fu can't tell me anything, i just don't know. and i don't want to take any chances.
since we are all contaminated now (i, too, have a touch of this virus), we will mostly be staying home tomorrow after one quick appointment in the morning. we will bake something scrumptious, do some art projects, and play with la fu if he's up to it.
the morning started with la fu being his usual self...here, he's performing a cat scan of the pantry.
since a virus is keeping us confined, we entertained ourselves by dressing up...here, q is sporting one of sissy's butterfly clips. i also painted their nails today. this time, q requested only black paint while livie is sporting a pattern of black, pink, and metallic green.

q passed out cold and looking gigantic on our small couch
q boycotted his nap today, and as a result passed out cold in the taxi on the way home from school. he slept thru my depositing him on the couch, most of a movie, me cuddling up with him, and sissy being her usual talkative self.
at one point, q sat up and looked like he might wake up, but no, he just melted into a puddle on the carpet and went back to sleep.
shortly after we got home from getting sissy from school, i noticed that la fu was acting strange...very subdued. he purrs thunderously every time i approach mansion la fu, but he's not out scampering around, investigating every nook and cranny, and wailing for me to add more food to his bowl. he has me very, very worried. if he's not back to himself by noon tomorrow, i will be taking him to the vet.
right before we left to get sissy from school, la fu curled up next to quinn. i should have realized then that something was amiss ;-p
