The No Rhyme Rap - Kinne


No Posts Yesterday

Missed posting in this blog yesterday and missed posting or doing much else online, either. I did manage to post the trivia from my calendar Saturday without falling over. 

It started late Thursday, a scratchy throat, low-grade fever, some dry coughing and the last couple of days there's also been dizziness and I felt like I had been pummeled by a heavyweight boxer.  So, I stayed in bed all weekend (and most of yesterday) and watched seasons 2 & 3 of Dexter.

There was a point when I felt so bad I wouldn't have minded if ol' Dex paid me a visit.

"Herd of giraffes?"
"Why sure, I've herd of giraffes!"

frigorific



frigorific\ frig-uh-RIF-ik \ adjective

1. causing or producing cold.


I never had heard this word used or seen it in print, but it sounds almost obscene.

Then again, I consider the cold to be obscene.
