Miss Bella had her eye surgery this morning, in our kitchen :) Our vet, Dr. Anne, came with her assistant and they numbed her eye and snipped off the third eyelid that was hanging from the inner corner of her eye. She didn't feel it at all. She seemed quite grateful to have it removed, dancing around after Dr. Anne put her back down! Now for the ( Read more... )

I really should be painting -- I WANT to be painting -- but I also wanted to write a post. Time is slipping away ( Read more... )

I am going to try it again, posting a photo for each day. I did it last year when I saw that curiouswombat had started one. I made it from March to August, and then life happened. I'm going to try again, and sometimes the photos will be daily and sometimes there will be several in one post to make up for days missed ( Read more... )

I decided I am going to try to paint as frequently as possible. This is all very new to me and I'm on steep learning curve.

First thing that happened? Soon as I finished my after-breakfast coffee, I fell asleep at the table. Several times. MANY times. So I moved to the computer, thinking ( Read more... )

I had an appointment with the ENT (ear, nose, throat) doctor yesterday to check on my ear (including cleaning and powdering the inside), discuss my upcoming surgery now set for July 6, the Monday following the Fourth of July (holiday here for those who are not American's), and see the audiologist about my hearing aide. They let me play with the ( Read more... )

I think I know what has been making me so depressed! Now mind you, a "normal" person would be depressed over my medical situation, which is quite grim, actually, considering that I am more than morbidly obese and I have all these really bad diagnoses. However, that just isn't my nature. I've been through some of the worst situations imaginable and ( Read more... )
