I hope that everyone had a festive holiday, be it the celebration of Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, etc... Mine was great. The only problem is that my 16 year old cat Elvis is having difficulty breathing. He is currently at the vet but at the moment we have no idea what may be wrong with him.

The sore throat of yesterday has progressed into an acute form of viral meningitis with symptoms of bird flu and hypochondria. I feel miserable and unfortunately I have much to do before I may sleep tonight. I hope everyone has a merry christmas and that they receive many great gifts but more importantly I'd just like everyone to know that I am ( Read more... )

Two more days till Christmas and all I have to show for it is a sore throat and severe depression. Thank you baby Jesus.

The kitchen is a mess and all I can do is sit and prepare for the upcoming holiday. Spending time with great people, how brief it may be, can only make me look forward to future holidays down the road ( Read more... )

Last night I am driving home and I am lost in the triangle. (That is the area of Chapel Hill, Raleigh, and Durham, NC.) I am sitting at a stoplight when I notice two people walking along the side of the road. One is a tall guy with a Dickie's jacket on. He has short, shaggy, black hair and he is moving with a slow shuffle because the person he is ( Read more... )

The past few weeks have been spent in an uncomfortable limbo.Sometimes it is very hard to just leave your three dollars on the table for when someone else has the use. People come and go in life as slow as the passing of the seasons or for as little time as a spring shower. I guess the ( Read more... )
