Well, I managed to get this week off from work. I've been in Kentucky since Monday night, visiting Guðmar and Gígja and family; it was a bit of a last-minute thing, I bought the tickets just a week before and then I wasn't sure that I could even manage it until the day before, when I finally managed to confirm that someone would work for me ( Read more... )

My dog just ate my wallet. She had to jump over the gate out of the kitchen and go into my purse to get it, but that's what she did. Credit cards, license, more than $100 in cash... none of it completely beyond recall (both of the credit cards and the license expire within three months anyway) but it was a nice wallet and I'm kind of annoyed that ( Read more... )

So, my boss is actually being really nice lately, which is good, because it seems like everything else there is going to hell in a handbasket (see previous entry).

So, this has been a fairly stressful week (or so) for me. My job is driving me up the wall, I've not been feeling well (Lyme? the Plague?), and my mother has once again dropped a bombshell on us. I was actually handling all this (maybe not well, but at least managing it). I had the tv on, I listen to the evening news most nights; I happened to ( Read more... )

Today I discovered two good dog toys ( Read more... )

...you should watch the movie "Eight Below" with an Icelandic Sheepdog puppy. Lots of dogs, lots of barking, and those dogs got to chase birds, and they could catch them. It was fascinating.

Hotmail does not appear to be working. MSN Messenger informs me that there are 25 unread messages in my inbox, and I can't access them. Therefore, if you are expecting a response from me and haven't gotten one... hope that Hotmail comes back from vacation soon. (Also, comment here. I'll be able to see that.)

So, today I went to a clinic. It was a fascinating clinic. http://shintofarm.blogspot.comRead more... )
