I’m less sick!

Still achey, but way less. I’m definitely on the mend. So I’m going to try to have a normal working day, which means writing and or/researching.

By the way, that song playing on the video below of the rescue dog is from a new Glen Campbell album from last year called Meet Glen Campbell. I loved the song so I went to itunes to listen to snippets from the rest of it and it’s great! Who knew?? But it’s really great.

This right near Rockefeller Center. I call it Cacophony.

This will make you feel good!

Someone I know rescued two dogs that had been hit by a car (one of the dogs didn’t make it). The other was touch and go for a long time, I couldn’t read all the posts about it, it was so horribly upsetting. I’d ask people to just tell me the barest details.

But Percy made it and Catherine made this video about the year of helping him and it’s just so uplifting. Along the way she rescued some feral cats (keeping two I believe) and just try not to tear up when you see Percy and the kittens!

Still sick!

I’m sorry I’ve been absent and I have lots of email to answer, but I’m still sick. My head hurts like hell! The doctor on call from my doctor’s office didn’t advise going to the ER, he said I should ride it out instead. He also suggested trying different pain killers and that helped a lot. The one I was using wasn’t doing anything, but others make it almost go away as long as I keep taking them.

But I am so sick of being sick, and I am going so stir crazy I am almost out of my mind!! I am tempted to go to a movie or something, but I don’t feel quite up to it, I’m afraid I will make myself worse, or I’ll infect others with this horror.

So that’s my story. I’m mostly lying on the couch moaning. Here is a picture from happier days. This was at the end of my choir’s holiday performance, when the orchestra stood and John turned to face the audience to acknowledge the thunderous applause.

I’m Sick as a Dog!

I think there’s a possibility it might be swine flu! But a mild case, at least so far. I’m going to go curl up now. And try to sleep.

I am SO glad I went out yesterday and went food shopping. Often I don’t have food in the house, I just go out when I get hungry. So I’m all set for staying inside and resting.

This is Buddy in the window, just minutes ago, practically live.

Happy Christmas Eve!!

Dude!

You are pretty freaking gorgeous. I pulled out some Christmas books. The Dickens of course, and an old Mary Higgins Clarke Christmas story (every single one of her books is the exact same book written over and over and over and over again, someone will ignore someone else, someone else won’t remember some key thing, but have a vague sense that they are forgetting something, there’s two guys, the bad guy and the good guy who the heroine will get together with by the end).
