I didn't expect to make two entries today, but this was worth sharing. My daughter and I went out to Wal-Mart this evening - we were gone no more than an hour. When we got home, hubby says "you missed the excitement". Turns out the cat (the sick one that's quarantined in my room) decided she'd had enough and plotted her escape. She's very smart ( Read more... )

Spent some time tonight going through all my message on LJ. I've caught up on everyone's news, but haven't had a chance to post any individual messages or comments, something I probably wont get to do until I return from Scotland. It was nice to do the catching up part though ( Read more... )

Real life has been so busy these past months, and I've really missed the LJ community. :( I know I have a LOT of catching up to do here, and hopefully over the next little while I'll get that done, but today I'm just going to do a catch-up post ( Read more... )

I keep telling myself I'll find some quiet time to get back on LJ and catch up, but that quiet time never seems to come. Which is why I'm doing this at 4:30 in the morning. LOL. I don't know that I'd say my life is "busier" since my husband retired, but it's definitely not my own as much now. We're doing more things together, which is nice, but ( Read more... )

This is the first day in a very long time that I have the house, and some time, to myself. Thank God. Between having hubby around more and dealing with my daughter's graduate school stuff, I rarely have a moment to think. So, some updates. My daughter now has a flat booked in Dundee, Scotland which looks quite nice, and since they were only ( Read more... )

Hubby's had my laptop lately in order to do our taxes, so I haven't been online much, plus RL has been a lot busier of late. However, just needed to share this news. My daughter has been accepted to her #1 choice for Master of Science in Anatomy and Forensic Anthropology. She received an unconditional offer (pretty rare, from what I've been told ( Read more... )

First the best news; my daughter has been accepted into the Masters of Science program in Forensic Anthropology at a university in England. Woo hoo!!! This is the first university she's heard from so she's very relieved, and very excited. It's actually her #2 choice, so that makes it even more exciting for her. Seems like the schools in the UK ( Read more... )

The past several weeks have just gone by in a blur. Between looking after my sister after her surgery, coping with my husband's loss of his job, and looking after a very ill cat, the time has just whizzed by, with barely a moment to myself. Quick updates: hubby is adjusting to his new status, and is keeping himself busy; my sister is pretty much ( Read more... )

When I checked my previous post, I noticed the words "Debt" and "a college" were highlighted in blue, and when I moused over them, ads for "easyinline" pop up. Is this something new to LJ? I don't want it, and don't like it. It needs to be exterminated!

Edited for typo.

Today, our elder kitty was markedly improved. She was walking around more than she has in the past week and a half, and she went outside and walked around even though it was quite cold today (supervised the whole time). She even tried eating, but she just licked at her food instead of eating properly, so we're still feeding her by syringe. She ( Read more... )
