A friend of mine died last night. Vanessa was a 27 year old nurse that worked the night shift at the jail. She was at the bowling alley, as Thursdays were ALWAYS league bowling night for her. She just dropped dead. No warning signs, no nothing. An EMT happened to be bowling and immediately started to work on her. No response. The paramedics ( Read more... )

With the holidays there are expectations of the bruhaha that can pop up and usually I am fairly well prepared for it. As of right now, I have four major things going on in my world, with three being very positive and one being the cause of my occasional homicidal thinking. Elaboration? I thought you would never ask ( Read more... )

We are going on day six of having our new kitty Lulu in the house. She's spent most of her time in her "safe room" as the dog is far too excited to meet her and my older cat Sabrina hasn't shown signs of being too keen on meeting her yet. When Sabrina does get a chance to interact with Lulu, there is some hissing and she attempted to bat at her ( Read more... )

I am typing this entry on my brand spankin' new notebook computer. Sean, being the overly generous soul that he is, decided I needed a new one since my old Dell was a POS after my using it for so many years. This current notebook is AMAZING. By far the best thing is the 17" wide screen. Hotcha!!! I've never owned a Gateway, but from what I ( Read more... )

Can I just extoll the virtues of having XM Radio. Sean has a subscription for his car, which means we also get the Internet version. I have become addicted to a station called "On The Rocks". All the loungy 50-60's music you can stand, 24/7. I feel like renovating the apartment so I could extend an invitation to all my friends to recline in my ( Read more... )

I had to say goodbye to my Hunny Bunny Boo this week. Last Thursday she started having seizures again. She had one bad one about a year and a half ago, but none since. As I was about to leave work, Sean called me and told me Hunny was on the ground seizing. She seemed out of it when I got home, but any 17 year old cat would be. She had another ( Read more... )

I know I haven't updated in FOREVAH, m'kay. Not that anyone other than two people actually read these silly missives. Been a bit preoccupied with a...boyfriend :::gasp!::: I have spent much of my free time after work with Sean and the kitties look at me funny when I actually return to my apartment, which is usually just to pick up some things ( Read more... )

The sicky that has traveled several times over in the jail and probably mutated more times than I care to know has finally struck me down. Not too bad, thanks to the miracle known as Airborne. I'm tellin' ya, that stuff is wonderful. Take it as the indication you are about to head into head cold land, then every three hours and it keeps the junk ( Read more... )

So this has been an interesting week to say the very least. I think now I have a clearer picture of how the co-worker that I went out with last week feels about me. Allow me to elaborate ( Read more... )

Went clothes shopping yesterday. Lo and behold I am a size 8. What the...??? I guess all that walking around at the jail is doing me some good, cause I haven't changed my diet at all really. Oh yeah, and I am drinking more water, so that's probably helping things along ( Read more... )
