Even when the day has gone all wrong …
sometimes it ends all right.

Don’t Bank On It.
I got a fair amount of stuff accomplished last night, mostly of the clerical variety. Bills got paid, paperwork got filed, accounts got balanced. Well, one account became balanced anyhow. The other has some problems, apparently not of my making. What is it with banks and me anyhow? Sooner or later I always seem to…
The waning of the year
Dr. Fell called back at 8:10 last night. He and my transplant surgeon have agreed that until we get the results of the staging tests back we should start treating topically. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma starts out like a generic skin rash, and eventually gets a raised, red and angry look to it. I’ve got a…
Because it’s important
This Friday is 11/11, also known as National Corduroy day. It’s been declared National Corduroy day because 11/11 looks like the wales in corduroy fabric. No, I’m not kidding. If you don’t believe me, check out The Corduroy Club Web Site’s Grandest Event Announcement. I found out about this a year ago, when the television…
By the light of cell phones
Pardon the near miss on the vernacular, but I could not fracking believe the seats I had for the Dar Williams concert last night. Ninth row from the front, just off the left aisle of center, and the people who were supposed to sit in front of me never showed up! I have never been…
The Calm Before/The Fallout After
The weather forecast calls for four to six inches of snow in my area this evening. I’m told that the storm’s edge is now at the state capital, putting it about one hundred miles from here. I’m patient. I’m in no rush to be hit with accumulating snow and lows in the single digits (they’re…
RotK – My comment
More pluses than minuses. Enjoyed very much. Kiddie relevant facts: No sex; no gore (lots of fighting and blood but no guts or ghastly wounds); one burned alive; lots of ugly critters, including a spider with attitude; triumph of good over evil; triumph of the little guy over the big guy; 3.5 hours long. If…
Glad to hear of the fleeting nature of your ill feelings. It must have been something in the air. Even the dog next door shut up for the evening news and he can usally be counted on to bark through the night.
I think your employer suffer from mob mentality. Calvin business is like that over United Way. For alot of reasons Calvin won’t contribute and has refused for 17 years now. But each year they ask him to "just donate $1 a pay period so we can be 100%". Of course the $1 wouldn’t be missed by us, but it is the principle.
Arrrgggh,,,thing like that urk me.
Sorry you are having a hard day.
Regardless of what is happening in your life, you remain in generally good spirits. I have a lot of admiration for that.
Thanks for the info on that "Chinese curse"… It’s always been a favorite line of mine… even it isn’t Chinese.
; )
i’m glad you found a way to stick to your principles. hope the "work stuff" clears up and that the headache takes a wrong turn and floats somewhere else (far from you!)
Maybe by the time you arrive home tonight the Socialist will "be over" whatever stranded him. 😉
Great idea mispelling your last name!
You have reminded me, I need to make a dentist appointment for me and an ortho for Brice. I have been putting it off all week. I’m gonna make myself get up and do it right now.
Yeah, you gotta change. I wasn’t too happy about it either (look how long it took to master the idea behind the images editor!), but look at it this way:
Maybe you can go back to your Salamander design, or you can make a whole new one, too. A chance to make a change is at hand.
Yes, we put a sign up for Marvin yesterday at Fred Meyers, besides our store. Marvin is the stray that moved in, KfH’s counterpart (aka KfH2) is Ashley’s kitten, Jinco. He is a sweetie, he is not chewing on bags like Marvin is. He tried it again this afternoon when I uncovered the bags to grab one for a customer, I came back in and he was sniffing around, looking for a place to dig in. Stinker.
The doctor mentioned that Ash needs to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep flushing her kidneys out, which she has been doing. I would gladly let her stay home, but she has tests tomorrow and wants to go. I am a bit concerned it travelled to her kidneys (she only had pain on the right side). I told her she should have said something sooner, but she figured she pulled a muscle and the painful urination would pass. Now she knows.
So, did the Socialist find his way home?
I found the links very interesting. And found another link – from Stephen DeLong again – ‘May you live in Interneting Times’. Hope you are feeling better. I sympathise with you having to sign something you don’t feel happy about. An awkward situation. Regards, Thubten
KfH1 has a look of pure bliss.
She is loved, and she knows it.
🙂
Take a page from our kitty’s book and RELAX!! Life is short, stop to bat some rubber mice.

Sorry you had such an awful day. If it’s any comfort (in the line of misery loving company) I had a horrible day, too. I intend to go to bed and snuggle my Kitten as soon as I write about today’s events.

That is one happy looking kitty. Things can’t be all bad if you have something so cute and cuddly waiting for you at home.
I don’t know what it is with all these cat photos. It seems like further proof they’re slowly taking over the world!
(((hugs))))
Tough day 🙁
I adore the photo!!

Interesting Times is interesting reading. The misspelling of your name–how passive aggressive of you. 🙂 I love it. Sometimes you have to cave, but the small gestures do help.
Day from hell is putting it mildly. Are you sure you’re not a yankee?
ahhh, another advantage to having an unspellable and unpronouncible (are those even words?) name. Before this entry I only thought it was helpful in weeding out sales calls from personal calls and sorting junk mail.
Did you know you can track who has sold your name simply by following the miss-spelling? It’s become quite an interesting sport in our house.
I’m glad you’re feeling better and am quite honored by your compliment about my dishes. Perhaps we’ll have a virtual dinner party and book club.
