The real Tuesday

Not much happening anywhere.  Everyone at the University is away on vacation, students have gone home, except for the newly accepted students who have to come see me.  But I get the bulk of those in March and April.  Of course, nobody has sent me their outline, I can see them all coming in the week classes start.

Bought the new Janet Evanovich book today, so I'm all set for reading for a day or 2.  The last two she did were a little boring, so I hope this one is better.  It has good characters, though.

Kayla's swelling has gone down to at least half its size, so she must have strained something.  The vet thought it might have been a huge lipoma and wanted to try the medicine to see if it would do anything.  It did, so we don't have to worry about surgery to remove anything.

Two more days of work, then the weekend.  I think we will be able to do the short walk at the canal this weekend.  Yay.

I think I am doing it this time.  I don't know why quitting smoking has always been such a big deal before.  Maybe I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch, but it is going well.  Must keep it up.  Must keep it up.  Must keep it up.

Have a great rest of the week, my friends.

I agree. You must keep it up, you must keep it up, you must keep it up. Aren't you saving money? you must reward yourself with something special in another couple of months. I'm sure you won't have touched another one. So happy that your baby Kayla is healing well. Keep up the positive thinking it is extra good for your well being.

It has been a strange day, weather wise.  Woke up to pouring rain, then beautiful sunshine, the pouring rain again.  Weird.  I am really missing Mumbushi this week.  Loved that little guy.  FB is getting a little weird.  We had a really nice group, then it grew.  In some ways it is a little better, in some ways, I liked the group we had.  Can you tell I don't like change too much?  I think I am just feeling too sentimental tonight.  Missing all my babies and can't wait to see them.  Mumbushi was only with us a short time, but he touched a lot of lives.  I am so sorry I never got to meet him.  Oh, Lord, the tears are starting. A little upset tonight.  Maybe I am being a little petty, but I don't care.  My son's girlfriend's family want to throw a birthday party for him tomorrow.  This is great.  However, for his birthday, he borrowed my car to go to a wedding, and stayed there overnight.  Just came back this evening, so no time to really do anything for him.  Now t

Ah, another week has gone by.  16 days left before I leave.  I realized today that it is not traveling that I am nervous about.  I think I have this fairy tale opinion of Africa that I had had since I was a kid.  I have dreamed of going for so long.  But with all that's going on, my views have shattered.   I always thought of Africa as deep jungles, lost rivers and exotic locations.  Maybe it was like that when I was a kid, but that was 45 years ago.  A lot changes in that time. Back to work tomorrow.  The weekend was a complete write-off.  Pouring rain, cold, miserable.  But I got a lot done.  Washed all the bedding from the guests last week.  So everything is good. Long weekend next week.  Our Thanksgiving.  I am invited to the "future in-laws??" for dinner.  Am looking forward to it.  Such a great family.  I am so glad Greg met Allie.  She is a wonderful girl (woman). Anyhow, I am all packed.  I think I have my luggage at the good weight.  I had to fix one of my

Monday

Have been doing a lot of thinking tonight.  I realize I can hold a grudge.  In my life, I have been abandoned by 2 mothers and a father.  However both mothers decided to come back into my life around the same time.  And it was a case of "let's forget about what was and there was nothing in the middle".  Everything is normal, we go on as if nothing happened.  Excuse me, but FUCK THAT.  I am not going to forget everything and just act like everything is normal.  I hate swearing, but there are a few times when it is warranted and this is one of them. Sorry for the rant.  It just really ticks me off that they expect me to be available when they decide to show up, like it's a family obligation.  There has never actually been a family situation. O.k. I have gotten it out of my system.  Deep breaths.  Relax.  Done. How are all my friends today?  Hope you are having a great week.  Just took Kayla for her walk.  We had a storm a little earlier this evening and when we we
