Today my parents had to put down the 'last' dog which I could consider as 'mine'. I helped her be delivered since she was a puppy of my other dog, Muza. She seemed to be the weakest of the lot and that's why we decided to keep her with us and her mom. We called her Jana. She turned out to be quite a rebel and stubborn little dog, who didn't know ( Read more... )

It's not that I need to talk all the time, but I am rather fond of talking. Moreover, I have the hardest time stopping myself from asking a question if it forms in my mind. If I cannot, for this or that reason, I'll just mull it in my head over and over, trying to find possible answers to it all on my own, coming up with various theories, creating ( Read more... )

Am a bit worried about my mom. She still refuses to change her lifestyle drastically or accept help. Like me and my brother offered to get her a cleaning lady, but she thinks it's pointless since she's convinced she'd be redoing everything this woman would do anyway, since it wouldn't meet her standards... She's been having lots of problems with ( Read more... )

My parents were planning on coming over in two weeks - to visit me and my brother. This Wednesday they came up with an idea to pack in a car with them (and my dog) also my grandfather (mom's dad), his wife and my grandmother (dad's mom), travel slower this time (spend the night at the German border) and then spend 3,5 days at our places. All of ( Read more... )

I had a difficult night. Muza, my dog, died yesterday evening. She got an epilepsy attack and they just had to put her to sleep in the end. Even though I was expecting it, it still hit me quite hard. I got her for my 11 birthday, which means she was there for more than half of my life. She went with us on holidays abroad, skiing. I helped her to ( Read more... )

Muza - my oldest dog - wasn't doing well last week. She's almost 17 years old now so I guess it's pretty normal that her heart is weaker and various organs shut down on her with time. She was getting a series of meds as of Monday last week to strengthen her heart, pump out liquids from her lungs, animate her liver, etc. On Wednesday she stopped ( Read more... )

Recently, my mom has been mentioning the need for stability in woman's life (read: getting married and having children) more and more often to me. Ok, clarification beforehand: I'm _not_ convinced I'm not gonna get married or not gonna want it at some point, but I don't intend to give my mom hopes and increase the pressure on myself thus. Better to ( Read more... )

My mom sends me spam. "If you don't send this email within 6 hours to 6 people, you'll have 6 years of bad luck", "Forward this email to all your friends or your sex life will vanquish", "If you send this this email to 10 people you'll find love"... You get the picture, right? I told her, it's nothing to be taken seriously, but she says "what if ( Read more... )

If anyone wonders, I'm in Poland for Christmas. My agenda is as usual overloaded with meetings with family and friends, shopping and arranging 101 stuff. But it's good ( Read more... )
