Today I got around to filling the tires on my bicycle that I bought last summer. I rode it once across the yard in August and I was terrified. It got put away properly in September when I went to witness Linden’s birth. Finally, it was accessible, not a long walk through deep snow any … Continue reading
This morning, while I was feeding the doggy guests (I refer to them as “inmates”, to Cinder), the iPod started playing Steppenwolf’s ‘Magic Carpet Ride”. I turned up the volume and danced down the length of the kennel building and back, a couple of times. All those darling faces were lined up at their gates … Continue reading
It was another wonderful day to be alive. I cleaned the hot tub yesterday afternoon, so the first order of business after it heated itself overnight, was to dump in the salt. It’s a salt water spa. I haven’t taken it for a test run, because the last time I used it, i got a … Continue reading
When I woke up this morning, that feeling of frustration and agitation had left. Sorry if I worried you. Despite the physiological issues that have become evident in the last three weeks (yes, just since March 5th), “things” could be worse. The stroke was a minor one, and the damage from some heart attack, perhaps … Continue reading
You might know that, though I’m not particularly renowned for my swearing and blasphemy, at times I find these skills useful. My vocabulary is not a delicate flower. This afternoon, although I have not said much out loud, I feel like weeping and wailing, railing and swearing. Rationally, there is no cause for panic, but … Continue reading
I’m talking about the “big” picture, not just my presence in my blog. I got a voicemail from Dr. Tejada yesterday that I should book an appointment to discuss my high cholesterol, as indicated by blood tests that I had last week. This morning, I woke up as usual (thank goodness … that’s the first … Continue reading
Technically dinner is “Wor Wonton”. “Wor” means “everything”, so once you have made or purchased wontons and broth, you can hardly go wrong. Earlier today, I had thawed the last half-package of wonton wrappers, which always seems like hundreds, and a pound of bulk garlic pork sausage from Shelly’s pigs. It was already 4:30 (after … Continue reading
It has been another stellar day, though I have pushed myself a little, or have been pushed a little. I had the option of not taking this sweet bonafide “fox” (jk) who was a walk-in of sorts. I was starting to groom Snowy when a vehicle appeared in the yard. I often ask myself who … Continue reading
… as Uncle John would say. He averred this after he had a bout of the flu, but it fits. I know I’ve said it before. Almost all of the numbness has left. Only a couple of loonie-sized spots of tingly feeling (like Novocain has left the area) remain. Otherwise, there is what I will … Continue reading
… as Joe Cocker would sing. I woke up this morning feeling like a million dollars! No headache, barely any numbness. I was thinking “it” had been a dream. How can I be so lucky? Gary confessed that he had checked me during the nights this week to ascertain that I was still breathing. Really, … Continue reading
