SECOND EDIT: OK, it has since transpired that Eileen DOES have a cat, so that shoots that 'hypothetical' out the window.

This shows two things:

1. Clearly I don't pay attention to friends, my life is TOO much about me

2. I'm never going to ATTEMPT to write a metaphorical thing again, EVER!! Good goodness!!

FIRST EDIT: Yesterday's blog does NOT refer to anybody who reads this blog!!! Please, please, PLEASE don't think for one moment that it is!!

Edit also: It should read from 'A' diseased one, not 'the' diseased one.
