I meant to work this into today’s entry somehow. I ran across a marvelous quotation this morning.
I just wanted to note it so I’d remember.
So THAT’S what acute organ rejection feels like. I’m on a ton of drugs, some old and some new. The steroids are doing a freak-out number on me again, but they’ll be tapering down soon now. Thanks to the steroids I’m a newly minted diabetic; with luck that will also taper down along with the…
I’m vaguely ashamed of myself. As this illness, whatever it is, continues to get a little worse each day, I find that I am pulling more and more into myself. My patience is the thing that I miss the most. I used to be one of the most patient people I know. It never before…
This was intended to be an afternoon project. It got out of hand. You may recall that back on October 21st I off-handedly commented that I’d been inspired by Roseanne Cash’s new CD, “The List”. I decided I was going to make my own top 100 list of songs. For those of you who enjoy…
“Coolhand Luke”, said by the Man with No Eyes. I love that movie. I think I know what I’m going to look for next time it’s MY turn to choose at the video rental place.
As regular readers are aware, my LGS, the former Kitten from Hell, has been dealing with some serious medical issues over the last couple of years, the most recent being diabetes. She had been well controlled with twice-daily shots of insulin, although recently her blood sugar numbers have been climbing into the high 200âs to…
Tonight I have rediscovered the joys of peanut butter spread on still warm multi-grain toast. That with a glass of pinot noir made for dinner that will send me to bed happy.
can’t wait to hear what the front office people have to say about this… you GO grass!
~~~
hug’em and kiss’em, i’m doing the same.
Yea, I hear you on the extra cat loving. I feel guilty complaining about them in yesterday’s entry. It’s a shame about Shaka.
Ah, a little "revenge" is good regarding the 3" drop. All from 1/8th inch of rain? Good grief.
Your excursion sounds nice, even better when someelse is driving. I have to admit, I’m abit nervous about driving on my trip next month.
Shoddy workers in more than one sense, it seems.
I would just say to the office: Please make it beautiful. (wait for response) thank you.
I feel for you*
Boston intimidates me also
Three cheers for Mr. Blake.
The drop is pretty plain to see in the first photo. That will be a lot of fun to correct.
Maine has roads?
Huh.

Oh, good grief! Did they put those pavers on marshmallow? Such a small area, and with foot traffic only – they must have made no attempt to prepare the area properly.
Yes, don’t waste a precious moment with those kitties. And get The Socialist to help prepare the place for his friend 🙂
Good quote. I like that. Your ex garden reminds me of my parents’ sidewalk. They had newly paved it about seven or eight years ago because it was cracked and old. It looked great. That winter we had a strong rain, and then it all froze. The sidewalk buckled into horrible shapes and cracked worse than it had before. They were less than pleased…
Yeah, I let the flies out for biology class. We are doing fruit fly experiments, and we need fresh, virgin fruit flies or the experiment will be off. Fruit flies become sexually active 6-8 hours after hatching, so we can’t use them if they have already mated, because they retain the sperm cells and those can show up in later matings.
We have 4 people in our ‘teams’. I, the 8:00am, let them all out because they’ve been in the tube for about 11-12 hours. The 12:30 person goes in and counts the newly hatched flies and sorts them into a male or female tube, depending on sex. The 4:00 person is supposed to do the same, and then the 8:00pm person is supposed to do the same. Then I get up in the morning and let them all out, and we start over.
I bet you understand more now, but if I bet I had just said ‘fruit fly experiment’ I wouldn’t had to have explained anything. lol
I HATE unexpected company like that.
I would have had to say….
"I am sorry, but I am not up to having unexpected company. We will HAVE to make it another time."
That is plain and simple.
They should get the idea.
