Well, that was fun.

I haven't run in three weeks. What with the concussion and neck injury, I was feeling pretty slow and fuzzy, and took a little time off to let it settle down.

The fog lifted a bit this weekend, so tonight I decided to go out and get moving again with an hour long walk. I mean, it's cold and all, but I can take it.

( Oscar best pictures I've seen )

Today is my lovely daughter Arwen's 19th birthday.

My miracle baby grew into a wonderful child who has grown into an amazing young woman.

But in amongst all the drama of Tuesday, I forgot completely. I've never forgotten to take my car in before. Now I can't get the car in until next week. Here's hoping the problem with the brakes is ( Read more... )

So Duchess, my Shepherd / Rottweiler cross dog, didn't stop with throwing up her supper on Tuesday. She was throwing up off and on yesterday, so I gave her only 1/3 of her usual supper last night, and she threw that up as well. Then she threw up all night long - I stopped trying to clean it up, and just threw more paper towel over it. Luckily she ( Read more... )
