There isn't anything I can think of. Of course, until all of this started up, I would have blithely said I didn't have any allergies at all.

It's possible you're developing new ones because of all that your body has been through. I'm sorry you're still dealing with health issues.

PSA for makeup fans: Aromaleigh (v.2) is having a sale! The discount code is DAYLIGHT20, and gets you 20% off your (minimum $20) order.

Aw, dang it. I just bought BE mineral foundation, but that was b/c I forgot Aromaleigh was back. Maybe I should just take advantage and stock up.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words on my weight loss. I still have very far to go, but I am determined to shed as much weight as I can without it being onerous.

ChiKat, I sympathize with you so much right now. I haven't posted about it before, because I just haven't been in a posting mood for months. My Tucker passed away two weeks ago and it was really hard to speak about it. When I talked to my daughter yesterday, she hadn't gotten the e-mail I'd sent after it happened and she asked me why I didn't call. And I was honest, I told her I was tired of always being the one to tell someone a loved one had died. I was the one who called everyone when my brother and my mother died. There was just no way I would have been able to get a single sound out of my mouth if I'd tried calling her. So I posted about it in LJ, but kept quiet pretty much anywhere else. But I'm trying to post more on the board, so I figure I need to bring that honesty to the board if I want to be a part of it.

Awww, Sail. I'm sorry.

Thanks, Hec. I have my moments, but fortunately I still have Elliot, who seems to be going out of his way to be more attentive (possibly because he misses his snuggle buddy, so he expects me to snuggle more.)

I'm so sorry, Sail.

Oh, Sail. I am so sorry. There should be a law that pets can't die and they need to stay healthy and happy forever.

Forever would be nice. Tucker was just one of the sweetest cats ever. He didn't like laps, but he was perfectly happy to sit next to you on whichever piece of furniture you inhabited. He didn't like to drink from the water bowl, so he would wait on the bathmat next to the tub until I was finished showering and then he'd hop right in and start licking all the water off the bottom of the tub. He did toilets too, anything with running water. Now Elliot has started waiting while I shower and while he doesn't hop into the tub, he hops up on the edge until I'm done toweling off. It's like he thinks he has to fill in for Tucker. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it just makes me want to cry.

Sail, I am very sorry. It's really hard to lose something beloved.
