Well, just don't spell the kid's name Wolfaryn and it could be a nice lunch date.

I'm in the lull between getting Bobby out the door and having to wake up Brendon. Dog sleeping on on couch, the cat sleeping next to me, DH and son still asleep in their beds. Ah quiet.

More coffee now while I have this 10 minutes to sip in peace.

{{{Kristin}}} I'm so sorry, love. We're here for you.

I just walked Toto. We ran into the beautiful German Shephard that lives down the street. Poor guy was wearing a white cone around his head and had half of his back shaved and in bandages. Poor thing was attacked by a pitbull last week! I just feel so awful for him!

edit: erika, much ~ma for Betsy. Poor thing!

Aimeé, good luck with the apartment hunt.

If I don't move out of the area, I'm hoping to at least move apartments in the next 6 months or so. Some friends live in a small apartment complex, and I'd love to get one of the second floor places there. Two bedrooms, cathedral ceilings, actual storage space--if only they had hardwood floors and decks they'd be perfect.

I know...she eats and drinks and some of her normal things so I'm trying to be hopeful.

Still looking at apartments. Need to stop, but wanting this one: [link]

vw, if it helps you stop with the looking and pining elsewhere, I must reiterate (or possibly iterate; I can't remember if I said it at all when I was actually there) how utterly charming your present apartment is. The pictures you've posted are very pretty, but even so they do no justice at all to its inherent quirky delight or to the excellent facelift you gave it. If I found a place like yours, I wouldn't move out until they carried me out feet first. Even if it didn't come with you and Emily and Toto and Bastet.

Awwww...thanks, JZ. I love our place. I really, really do. I'd stay here for a very long time IF we could afford to live in it with just me and Emily and Toto and Bastet. We're finding that we don't do well with a third roommate...especially a third roommate with a girlfriend who practically lives here. We're just too old and cranky and set in our ways. So, in starting to think about a two-bedroom (or a MUCH cheaper three-bedroom), I'm starting to dream of dishwashers and laundry in the building.

Lots of healthy-dog-ma to Betsy.

{{{Kristin}}} Much ~ma to get you through this difficult time.

Catching up:

{{Cass}} It sounds like you made your grandmother's passing as peaceful and loving as possible. I hope you can feel peace soon.

{{Kristin}} I am so sorry, love.

Health~ma to Betsy. Get well, soon sweet dog.

I am finally feeling better. I was sick 12/29-1/2, went back to work for Tues and Wed of last week then decided I still wasn't well enough to work, so I took off Thursday and Friday. I just now am feeling human again. The snot monster not only took up residence in my body, but invited all its friends and they all reproduced. Damn snot orgy.
