Fifteen years ago this month I was still living with Mr. S and Pearl the dog, in the big house on the same property I live on now. I had never been a cat person until I moved in with Mr. S a few years before that and met his cat Mouser. Up until then I'd never had the chance to know a nice cat that who had been raised by a loving person. I'd only ( Read more... )

Friends.

Friends make this life livable.  Sometimes due to physical distance, or changes in life like relationships and kids and things, individual friends grow closer or more distant. That's just natural, and it doesn't mean we value them any more or less, or vice-versa.

I've had friends who have done some truly amazing things for me in my life.   ( Read more... )

So something sort of big actually has changed, but I didn't notice it until this week.  I mentioned recently that I felt change approaching, but then it didn't seem to materialize.  I think that's because I was expecting something to come from the outside, not the inside.  Silly me.

I think a lot of things are at work here, and here's a sort of a ( Read more... )

I may have told you some or all of this story before, but I was thinking about it last night so I'm sharing it (again?).

Thanks once again to my dear friend unrulynarrator for helping me identify what is going on in my head.  Knowing is half the battle, after all.

As most (all?) of you know, I have some anxiety issues.  I've been going through a fairly long period of having little to no anxiety, but just recently, things have gotten kicked off a bit again.  I didn't realize it at ( Read more... )

I just wanted to let y'all know I'm still here.  I just haven't had a lot of personal stuff to post about.  I had a pretty good Friday and Saturday, despite the fact that my shower broke on Friday (or the issue became noticeable to me at that point, anyway) and had to be fixed ( Read more... )

I've been pondering the positive influence some of my friends have been having on me, lately, and I sort of want to get the thoughts out of my head so I can get some work done instead. :)

As I  mentioned on the 22nd, in the wee hours,unrulynarrator  seems to have fixed me.   He's pretty much my hero right now, for that.  I've felt so darned much better since our ( Read more... )

I have a friend who has gone through a rough patch recently and tends to be under-communicative anyway.  But  now I've noticed that his FB account is disabled, or I've been unfriended.  It would surprise me if it were the later, though ( Read more... )

That is all.
