C got my files off my laptop. Hooray! Not so good --we'll have to replace the hard disk ( Read more... )

Mori caught the upper respiratory disease --he's sneezy and has weepy eyes. He's also moving very slowly and sleeping a lot. Fortunately he still seems to be eating and drinking. I called the vet and the tech said as long as he's eating and drinking, he should be okay ( Read more... )

I want to say it's just not my week. And I mean that in both senses of the word. I'm about the same. It's all other people. Special K is much better. My mom came for 24 hours from Wednesday to Thursday and gave us all a little TLC ( Read more... )

I may have mentioned C has been sick for a long time over 3 weeks. He was just diagnosed with pneumonia.

Ironically there's a possibility my cat Mori may also have the cat equivalent of pneumonia. We must wait and see.

Yesterday was our anniversary and we had a lovely day. Thanks to Parents Helping Parents, we got some free tickets to Disney on Ice:Finding Nemo. Special K loved the show. We thought it was okay. The ice skating especially for the jellyfish section was at times beautiful and for some reason I found myself moved when Nemo was reunited with his ( Read more... )

Thanks to my brother and his SIL, C and I had an evening out on Saturday. We had a lovely time together as always. Unfortunately the food at Amber India was mediocre and the movie we saw Syriana had several flaws.
In critiquing someone's synopsis, Miss Snark blogged "Even when you make stuff up, you have to get all the details just right so we’re ( Read more... )

Sorry for the silence. Christmas was somewhat stressful, but it's over now. We're still all sick. I'm in danger of developing a sinus infection, so I've been getting steamed four times a day at the suggestion of my doctor. You pour boiling water into a bowl, stick your face over the bowl, cover your head with a towel and then breathe in the steam ( Read more... )

C took me out to dinner for my birthday so we actually got to spend a couple hours alone, a rare treat these days. C gave me the new Madonna album "Confessions on The Dance Floor" It goes back to her old 80's dance roots, except as C says "now she can sing". I enjoyed the album, especially "Hung Up". C also gave me some amber ( Read more... )

It's a waning moon and very bad stuff is going down with a friend of C's. C is helping as best he can and he can't take the kids along. So I can't be gone for hours and hours next weekend. My ankle's slowly getting better, but not better enough to navigate the extensive walking needed for public transportation. I can't drive that far. It also turns ( Read more... )

Shadesong blogged about how she and her husband shared an inside joke. My husband C and I share a lot too. A lot of them wouldn't even seem funny to outsiders even if we explained the whole story. It takes a special person and a special situation to laugh in the ER. We make a lot of jokes about death too. I think it stems entirely from the past year. ( Read more... )
