Eek! Not a great week healthwise for my family. My mom called tonight to let me know my brother is in the hospital with cellulitis in 3 places on one of his legs. His blood pressure is also up; of course, being sick in the hospital is enough to raise your blood pressure. Anyway, he's on antibiotics and they're watching the blood pressure. My ( Read more... )

We took Zorro back to the vet today for recheck X-rays. He's been on the meds for just over a week, so we were hoping that the fluid in his lungs would have decreased. The X-rays didn't show a big change. Some improvement, but not significantly. The vet also showed us the echocardiogram they did last time. You could clearly see the mass - it's ( Read more... )

Oops! Missed a few days. Quick catch-up ( Read more... )

Yum! I made chili in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. It turned out pretty well and we have enough left over for another meal or 2. Now, I'm just waiting for the snow to get here. :-) I wouldn't mind getting another 5 or 6 inches, but it sounds like we're only going to get 2-3. Guess we'll see in the morning ( Read more... )

Ugh. We had to take Nola and Zorro to the vet today. Just check-ups for both. Nola was not a happy camper. She wasn't really bad - she just hissed and fussed a bit. She especially thought that having things shoved up her butt was rude. Can't say that I blame her. She got her rabies and distemper shots updated. Zorro was really good. They ( Read more... )

Wow! An actual productive Friday! I sent one document off to the sponsor for review and one to internal review. I had a nap. I cleaned a couple of the litter boxes. I watched Sarah Connor and Dollhouse. And I spent way too much time reading a webcomic that I just discovered. Unfortunately, it's been going on since 2001 - I'm into 2002 now, ( Read more... )

Ugh. I had to do a little work this evening to finish up a document for QR. Finally got it done - the network was being SLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW. Possibly because BG was playing WoW and Pandora. Hmmm, video-intensive game plus streaming radio - yeah, that'd probably do it. :-0 I finally just saved the thing to my hard drive so my laptop didn't ( Read more... )

Another quiet day at work. I had to do some budget stuff, which I really hate, but otherwise, not bad. This evening, I watched a little TV and now I think it's bedtime. How exciting!!

Ha! Got ideas for the last 2 charms! Now to actually make them. I've got exactly 4 weeks - the charms are due on March 24. This is going to be fun.

Well, I have ideas for 8 of the 10 charms I need to make for the Ornamentea charm swap. Now I just have to come up with 2 more. I actually have a few more ideas but they're on a different theme. Oh well, I've still got some time. I'm looking forward to making them and swapping them for others. Should be fun.
