Jeepers, Dan.
Sail, we actually have a break in the storms. You can even see some moon. It's clean and cold.
I went out and fed Ruby - she was waiting for me. So was the owl, who came out and checked me out rather too closely for comfort, but he did a few pretty aerial moves and I stood my ground, and he circled and went back up to the canopy. Ruby was totally unconcerned - she just wanted her dinner.
Nice to be back indoors, where it's warm. But it's been so damned wet, even our front gate door is swollen to sticking point. It can be spring now.
Hey Dan, got a login for that site? I want to read the second page, but I'd like to avoid registering, if possible.
It let me in with out registering ... I clicked on the 2 instead of the more if that helps. a good story.
Timelies. Dan, I saw that, too. Poor guy. At least it's got a good ending.
Death is the lowliest thief, taking away that which is most precious, and no matter how much time we have with those we love, it can't approach enough time. But don't feel bad for feeling guilty, either.
Oh, I don't feel guilty. Just cheated, so to speak. It's true, any time would have been too soon, but I knew her time was short, and I was prepared for that. But I wanted just one more opportunity to really spend some time with her. I was denied that when I came through Canberra at the start of the month, and this trip was to be it.
{{{BT}} I wish I could give you a hug, or take you out for ice cream, or something.
Bil, you're not on the edge. You just don't have as much time as once you did to make merry with us all.
What Plei said. I'm sorry Bil.
Timelies all. The bedrooms are all clean. Today is the living room and dining room's turn. I sat in my rocking chair in my bedroom last night and practiced my knitting and watched my Buffy tapes Elena sent me. It was like being with Elena and Anne, except for the part where they weren't actually there. I also had, in a 3" by 10" section of knitting, a section about 3" by 6" that actually looked good, even stitches, all smooth. It made me very happy. Then I dropped a stitch and unraveled it. Today I'm going to try to actually get somewhere with it. Kara is demanding a scarf.
sj, the boy sounds smitten. Go you!

I am so, so sorry. It is a horrible cheat. How are your father and siblings?
So sorry, billytea! It's always sudden.
Thanks, Daniel. It was nice to be able to read...the rest of the story. I'm glad the poor guy was able to get home! What a bummer to end up so far from where you planned and under such conditions. Thank heavens for the Salvation Army and the people who wanted to help instead of punish.
