I just got off the treadmill after walking for around 35-40 minutes. And then I got terribly nauseous and dizzy and frustrated and started to cry, half in anger (to tell the truth). Geez. No matter how hard I try to be more healthy, my own body is fighting me every step of the way ( Read more... )

Children seem to always speak inherently about peace, if ( Read more... )

This was both a good and bad day, with happy and sad moments. I suppose many days are like that, when we think about it. In my world, I try to dwell on the positive, so I'd always count such a day as good, overall ( Read more... )

Had to use the cat icon, because Henry has been so horny today! (heh) Howling and playing with either his rope or a hair tie -- and it's totally sexual, believe me. I actually like seeing it, because he struggles so with his health in the Fall, so the fact that he can stay healthy enough to want a little something is a good sign. Aside from his ( Read more... )

Marilyn just told me that she found out our friend Lee Ann passed away this afternoon ( Read more... )
