Because I am an Eeyore today

Recent good things:

• Delaware beat Hofstra on Saturday for their first win in three games.  Oh, and our starting and back-up quarterbacks were out with injuries, so a tight end and a wide receiver shared the duties.
• We hosted the third annual Penn State football get-together with a handful of camp friends.  Mm, chili.
• Ted was the darling of the party, and one of our friends even admitted that a smaller dog might not be annoying to own.
• Penn State beat Ohio State to remain undefeated and pave the way toward a big bowl game berth.
• Whether it was from all of his socializing during the football game or two days of sick-day snuggling, Ted slept like a log on Sunday.  On my lap.  The cuteness was almost too much.
• My cold dwindled to a nagging, infrequent cough.
• I took advantage of the free flu shot at work today.
• Best of all, after the nurse put a circus-themed bandage over the injection site, she pointed to a box and said, “Help yourself to a lollipop!”  Ooh, Dum Dums!  I tried not to appear too eager as I rummaged for my coveted root beer flavor, but I totally scored.
