I do have some hearing loss in my left ear (driving for years with your window down (no ac) and going in excess of the 70mph speed limit'll do that to you), and for whatever reason I struggle to understand people when they are in front of me, and I often read their lips a lot for cues, but shit people say from my side or behind me? I hear and ( Read more... )

So I once again forgot to send any TF Valentines (though I actually managed to text greetings to people, so if I have your number you should've gotten a message from me) but once again I had a bunch, because you people are lovely. <3 ( Read more... )

Ever since Chihiro's dental work, where all of her molars were removed, she's been having problems with a troublesome canine that the vet opted to leave in despite thinking it might need to go, as she'd already been under for three hours, and he thought it could be saved ( Read more... )

So as Chihiro's vet bill for the dental surgery she needs could top out at $1400, and I don't really have much in the way of finances due to my present state of unemployed (and the job I'm angling for is $5000 less annually than I had been making, so I won't be swimming in fundage then either) I am thinking about making cat jewelry to sell as a " ( Read more... )

Alright, it only took three days, but I'm finally feeling better. I've washed all the sheets off the bed I was sleeping in- my poor sister gave it up 'cause I needed a room I could keep the cat in and she got pre-empted, and then I got sick. I haven't even touched my own laundry yet ( Read more... )

So I didn't have time to carve my pumpkin before Halloween, and finally got to it tonight. Michelle and I love roasting the seeds, and I love carving pumpkins. ^_^ Chihiro, helpful as always, decided the tone of the piece. She supervised the entire process. The following is crazy image heavy.

( Whee sharp pointy things! )

So, my darling Chihiro was boarded while I left town, and I paid for ten days though she was there for more like nine days' worth total, seems how I dropped her off late last Friday and picked her up early yesterday. We packed up more than enough food for her and took her there, and I cried when I handed her over. Chihiro is my baby ( Read more... )

My trip to the family's cabin was a blast. Me, Michelle, my mom and my sister went up, along with Handsome Rob and Baxter, my mom's cocker spaniel. Mom hadn't been planning to take Baxter, but he had to have surgery late last week to remove a growth on his face, and mom knew my stepdad wouldn't take care of it to her liking, so up Baxter went.

I just got a call from Michelle. Her car broke down about 230 miles away, juuust on the Ohio side of West Virginia. The towing guy thinks it was the alternator, but she won't be sure until the repair shop opens in the morning. She's stuck in a Motel 8 with a dead cell phone, and she was obviously trying not to cry when she was talking to me ( Read more... )
