Just a quickie

First, thank you all very much for the comments! It's about 2:30 am here, and I've just gotten home from the vet. Gracie passed away, with the assistance of the vet, about 45 minutes ago. Mom and dad talked about it, and came to the decision that it would be best for the dog to let her go, instead... Sign in to see full entry.

A Serious Turn for the Worse

Early this morning, my mom and dad left for Saskatchewan. They're driving down for the weekend to have a quick visit with my grandmother, and to spread my late uncles ashes. Uncle Jon was born and raised in a small town in Saskatchewan, and he loved everything about the place. Having his ashes... Sign in to see full entry.

My soap smells like oranges!

It really does. Not that fake fruit smell either--real, fresh oranges. This all started several months ago, when I was visiting my mother and found myself in need of a toilet. When I went to wash my hands, as recommended by all major Health Advisory persons, I was confronted with 2 bottles.... Sign in to see full entry.

Me and My Cat

Every morning I wake up nose to nose with my best friend, Echo. We say hello, talk for a minute. She's very chatty in the morning. Sometimes we play the "Blanket Monster" game. I hide my arm under the blankets and move it all around. She pounces with typical kitten ferocity, lunging and clawing and... Sign in to see full entry.

Death By Oral Hygiene

This morning, I very nearly killed myself with a toothbrush. Oh sure, oral hygiene might seem like a fairly safe activity. But when you take an electric toothbrush, a husband in a hurry and a very distracted Sira, you get a near disaster. My personal tooth care routine is quite simple: rinse with...

Clever Girl...

I wrote out an entire blog, and then realized I had something else to take care of before posting. So, I copied the contents of the post and navigated away from the page. Less than 2 minutes later, having quickly forgotten that I'd already copied my post, I copied a video code from Youtube.... Sign in to see full entry.

Choices

I'm taking the "easy" route today, as my time is limited. My mother and I are going shopping, so I can't do a proper post just now. This is an email that I received a while ago, from a dear friend of mine. The story touched me, and I kept it saved so I could read it when I felt the need for a... Sign in to see full entry.

TAPs distracted me!

I had a post all worked out, but I've sense been knocked off track by TAPs, and her post on gift giving. It was delightful, and got me thinking about all the nutty self-gifters in my own life. She's a walking distraction, that TAPs! First on my list of self-gifters, there's my father. His heart is... Sign in to see full entry.

Accidental Booze Hound

I accidently got drunk yesterday. It's the first time in many years I've had anything to drink, never mind enough to get me hammered. The last time I was good and wasted, it was the night of my 22nd birthday. And I was in so much pain the next day, I haven't touched a drop of booze since. It all... Sign in to see full entry.

A Poodle, with a bladder infection

Well, the house is clean and the cat is bald. I didn't get much cleaning done yesterday. It's my own fault. As my father delights in reminding me, I have the attention span of a poodle with a bladder infection. That's not a very nice comparison, but it's pretty darn accurate. I got distracted part...
