As above. I saw the New Year in on top of a MOUNTAIN (a really steep hill, anyway) staring in amazement at the multitude of fireworks going off across Stockholm. Still in Sweden with angiescully and splodge04, and the past few days have involved a visit to an actual Swedish IKEA (this was very exciting to me), watching Avatar (AMAZING), a ridiculous amount of sleep ( Read more... )

Apparently I fail at napping during the day. This is worrying as I am doing my first ever night shift for the care home tonight. Cue me dead by 5am. Anyhow, since I am not sleeping, I am instead watching Dollhouse (November and Caroline ftw. Why are you all not watching this yet?

I've tried a number of ways to write that on LJ, and they all sound silly, almost, but it's something I can't not mention, or just drop into conversation, because she was and is such an impact on my life.

Tutsey came through the operation well, had a great night and is eating a light diet, so they've let her go home to my parents. She's pretty much amazed everyone with her recovery and is apparently really cheerful and happy to be home, my brave little bear. :) I so want ( Read more... )

Tutsey, my dog, hasn't been herself for a few days, so my parents took her to the doctors today. She has an infection of the ovaries and womb. They are operating on her now. She's very old, very weak because she hasn't been eating, and she has a heart condition, has done since birth. There's a good chance she won't pull through ( Read more... )
