Thank you all for the kind words and good wishes! Gooby JUST showed up...here she was inside the house the whole time...it appears she somehow injured her leg and decided to hole up somewhere, as cats are wont to do when they're injured. So the good news is, she's back! Bad news is, she's injured...but this is definitely better news!!

Gooby has disappeared. She got outside and nobody realized she hadn't returned all day until late tonight. Of course, it's very cold out and we got a teensy bit of snow. I did find cat tracks outside just now, but no sign of Gooby... I hope she found someplace warm to stay, but I'm quite worried. :-(

Well, it looks like the missing message is not going to make an appearance, so I'll try again. This year has been pretty darned uneventful for so far, although maybe that's not a bad thing. I haven't had much to say recently because, well, nothing has been happening, and I've been kind of in emotional neutral or something and thus lacking the ( Read more... )

Well, I wrote a nice, long entry to my journal, which it claimed was successfully updated but gave me a blank screen...however, when I attempted to read it, no entry appears...which means the whole thing vanished into the aether (sigh)...:-( Well, I'm not typing the whole thing up again...who knows, maybe it will magically appear from nowhere or ( Read more... )

It appears the illness from the other night was indeed a brief one and I successfully fought it off (thank goodness!). It's nice to have my brain functioning again. :-) Although I'm still getting headaches...strange... Anyway, thanks to all my friends for the good wishes, I really appreciate it!

I've been wondering as today's gone on why I've been getting progressively less and less mentally coherent and why my mood's been getting kind of weird...and then why I started to get sleepy much earlier than usual... Now my throat is burning and my nose is getting runny, and I fear I have my answer. D'oh! I hate being sick... Here's hoping I' ( Read more... )

Well, the new year is here at last...it rang in kind of badly, with tons of rain on Wednesday. I hate rain, particularly in the winter when it (a) could be snow, which I LOVE, and (b)it melts whatever snow IS there. Kind of depressing, but I held onto my hopes that this will be a (gasp!) good year and didn't let myself get too down. Now today it ( Read more... )

It's still snowing...yikes! I've really enjoyed today...and it's a good thing, because this may never happen again! To be able to sit there with the family, opening gifts...and to glance outside the window and not only see snow, not only see PLENTY of snow still decorating all the trees, but to see it actually snowing even as I watched...my ( Read more... )

Yay! After all these years I finally got the only thing I ever say I want for Christmas...snow!! We have at least eight inches and it's still coming down, even though it quit snowing a few hours ago just west of here...the storm kind of came to a halt while it re-intensifies. Lucky us ( Read more... )

Christmas Eve...no snow, but a Nor'easter predicted for overnight into tomorrow...which the Weather Channel says could drop two FEET of snow in some areas. Yow! Well...I guess if we do get snow, I can't complain about travel problems...not after all these years of telling people all I want for Christmas is snow ( Read more... )
