Another loss of a former pet for me, third one this year. Maybelle, the long-haired calico, AKA The Kitchen Bitch, succumbed over the weekend. She's had two reprieves since I've known her, first when we adopted her as an older cat from the Humane Society, and last year when thyroid medicine turned her health around tremendously. She lived a full, pampered life, at least at the end, and will be missed.
Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts on the loss of these dear ones. They're just dumb animals, yet they're not, you know?
This is a few days late, but...
I'm back! I'm finally back. My trip is over. The last ten months have been exhilarating, and I'm immensely grateful to all of you who took me in and showed me around (and catered to my Buffy addiction--special thanks to Min, who hooked me hard on Firefly in the space of just four days!) when I was passing through. As if I needed further proof of just how hard the Buffistas rock.
Dude. Now I just have to move out, and graduate, and get a job, and write up some articles about the trip, and organize all my pictures, and...
Going dark for a few weeks...see you guys in June.
Hello from London!
I have less than three minutes left on my voucher here, but I wanted to stop in and say hello!
We walked from Westminster Abbey to the Tower Bridge yesterday, and my feet ACHE. Tomorrow we're planning to go to Stonehenge if the weather stays nice (it's been GORGEOUS).
Please send a little more healthma and good vibes to my dad. He had a heart attack night before last and now he's in the hospital. Last night, he was moved from the ICU,so that's good news. They've done a lot of tests and we should get some of the results back today, so keep a good thought.
Exam-ma vibes would be appreciated as the DH is headed to take an actuarial exam. Four hours of mathy goodness.
t shudder
Also needing exam-ma vibes, as I'm leaving to take the AP Art History test i half an hour. Eep.
Hi all,
My niece Tina is having surgery to add titanium to her C-Spine next Wednesday and will be off work 3-4 months. Please send any healthma you can spare. She is a very Buffista-like person who deserves better.
I'll be dimmish for the next week or so. Spouse went on a weekend bike trip this am, and I'm taking the kids to grandma's tomorrow for the week. Have net access but have to fight dad for the computer.
