Well, it looks like I get to have a medical doohickey done again.  I've been having abdominal pain recently, and after several tests, the doc's concluded that I have a nasty ovarian cyst on the left ovary.  He's going to go in there laproscopically, and remove the offending organ, and just check out the other one to see what it looks like.  They'll ( Read more... )

Well, I've been horribly remiss in posting, especially since I have my not-so-new-now kitten.  His name is Romeo, because he wants to cuddle and luv so much.  He's had all of his shots now, and is leukemia-negative, so now all he needs is to get fixed, which will happen in December.  When I first got him, he was just under 2 pounds; it's been about ( Read more... )

HOPPY BIRFDAY to Oldewolfe!  Hope you did something fun for your birthday, and not just take apart your computer. :D

Well, I thought having two kitties would work out - but, no.  They seemed to be getting along okay, then Pretty Girl ran out of her post-op pain meds.  Apparently, the getting-along thing was merely a result of the drugs, because now they fight.  Jenny will hiss and growl, then turn to run away.  Then, Pretty Girl chases her and the claws come out ( Read more... )

.....myself, Jon, Jenny Cat....and Pretty Girl Cat.  Yes, we are now a two-cat household.  There are all sorts of stray cats in my neighborhood, most of whom want free food and an occasional catnip leaf, but no petting.  But this beautiful cat, whom I first took for a long-haired Siamese but have been told that she's more of a Birman, only wanted ( Read more... )

Well, I've been told repeatedly that I haven't been updating, which is true. So, here I am!

I'm no longer living alone. After 2 years (wow, where did the time go?) of living on my own, my boyfriend and hopefully future husband Jon has moved in. He doesn't generally believe in living together without being married, but that's the direction we're ( Read more... )

Wow, it's really been a long time since I've been here! I'll have to just touch on one thing, and save the rest of my life for next time ( Read more... )

Well, it looks like my boyfriend will be living with me for at least the next week. There was an electrical fire in the vacant upstairs apartment of the house he lives in, when the owner decided to have the power turned back on for his remodeling crew. Luckily, Jon was at work at the time. I just happened to hear the news on TV mention the ( Read more... )

It's been a long time since I was here. I was working two jobs for a while, and only had time to eat, sleep and work. There's a guy who used to work at the hotel I work at, who moved on to another hotel chain. He called me a coupla months ago, asked if I could help him out - it seems he didn't have a groundskeeper for about two months, and the ( Read more... )

>grunt<.....today was hot and tiring. At work, I had to move 5 yards of dirt - shoveling into a truck, then shoveling it back out of the truck - and then installed 240 square feet of sod. And the temperature today hit 100, and there was no shade where I was. I think I drank my own weight in water (no fair asking how much that is!). Luckily, I ( Read more... )
