I like to believe there's an afterlife. Some people believe that spirits walk among the living, some don't. I'm not trying to start a religious argument. The simple fact is that some people believe and others don't, I respect their right to do so. Monday morning I jolted awake from a dead sleep; it was pouring outside. So, I came out of the bedroom to get a drink. I wasn't feeling well and had been coughing, so I figured a drink and/or cough drop would help ease things so I could sleep. My nose twitched as something familiar hit it. Yup, the smell of wet dog. I'd like to put it down to that carpet near the front door, but the scent faded as quickly as it had caught my attention.

My son has been experiencing similar things. The other half, nope. Call us nuts, but if it's our imagination, it gives us comfort. If it's not and the place is now haunted, that's not really a bad thing for us. At least we know who it is, right?

Actress Beatrice Arthur, best known for her roles as Maude in Maude and Dorothy in Golden Girls, has passed away. She was 86. According to news articles, she passed away quietly with her family present. She had some form of cancer, but no details were disclosed.

Watched Australia and am reading Curious Customs by Tad Tuleja.

Plans for today:
Scrub down Tom's bathroom.
Not sure what dinner will be ... yet. Probably burgers or meatloaf to use up the hamburger in the fridge. Want to have dinner done and cleaned up before 7.
Have more laundry put away.
And RP in the evening.

Time to sleep.

Media Madness!
Finally finished the hard cover of Resolution. Good book, if you like westerns and/or Robert B. Parker's writing, you'll probably like it. It's the sequel to Appaloosa which was made into a film not so long ago. Tried listening to the audiobook of The Young Carthaginian, but the reader was one of those that has a sleeping time voice. Might try again. Current movie is The Trip to Bountiful. Still have 3 DVDs in the library bag to watch. Have a couple of books left, too; one on customs and superstitions, the other is by George Burns. Have a bunch due back on 28 April.

This horoscope is filed under Hmm Things:
The day doesn't begin until you clear your head and take stock of some pending personal issues, CATHY. You might be making mountains out of molehills. Realize that there is a path for everybody. Put your stinger away today. It will be powerful, but won't do any good. Keep your power under wraps. Concentrate more on the more mundane tasks that need to be done. Why not make a list?

Mini-city
Several friends are doing the dragon scroll thing. This is what I'm doing, a mini-city. If you have a sec to go and click, please do. http://mo-chroi.myminicity.com/ind. That will add factories to my city.

I'm finally answering the comments that were left on the 14th and 15th. Once again, I thank all of you.

It's Monday morning 2 AM. Can't sleep. I slept a good part of Saturday and that's probably why. I stuck "Paint Your Wagon" (with a young Clint Eastwood in it) into the DVD RW and am watching while I do a few other things. Today, I need to pick up the house, do laundry, get the trash out, and get all but the shower curtain, bath mat, and essentials for one shower from the bathroom. Going make a meat pie for dinner, something quick and easy. Need to get the heavy quilt cleaned and put away for the summer. Want to have everything cleaned up and done before House is over as I have some plans for the evening.

Between now and the end of May I want to get Tom's bathroom and the linen closet cleaned out. Hopefully, his closet as well.

I have some ideas for stories rumbling. A wedding, a funeral, a chat between husband and wife (that one is part of a larger story), and a few others. Now, if I could just get them to settle in my head so I can get them into a tangible form.

The cat has been very attentive of late. She's been sleeping under my feet when I'm at my desk. She's usually not this sociable, but I must admit it is nice. She won't sit on my lap like she will with Kevin, but sometimes climbs up in the chair and tries to squeeze behind my back and the back of the chair. Go figure.

Earlier, I was trying to figure out why my eye hurt. seems I have a sty developing.

Not much else to say.

For the first time in about week, maybe two, I slept well.. maybe well isn't the right way to put it. I slept hard, out cold, dead to the world. I went to bed about 4:30AM. I woke up to the somewhat harsh music of a hail and thunderstorm about 7:30. I remember shutting down all the computers and unplugging the modem, etc. I went back to bed. I don't remember dreaming. I do remember rolling over to find that it was about 3:30PM.

I have a bunch of comments to reply to. For now, I want to send out a general message of thanks to you lovely people (especially

mirrored_owl and

rachaelwynter ) that took the time to offer comforting messages and virtual hugs. They mean a lot. :)

I talked to Liz last night. Tuesday, I had called and let her say whatever it was she needed to say to Shottie. I told her it might sound silly, but it was something I needed to do. She said it wasn't silly at all. Liz called Wednesday, but I had been napping. She told me something last night that took a bit of the sting out of this loss. Shottie outlived all of his littermates (5 or 6 in that litter) by years. She actually said brothers and sisters, so that would mean the pups from his mother's first litter as well.

The kitchen is filled with these wonderful smells, Tom is cooking.

7:11 PM

Tom made salmon for dinner. It was good. I'm not much of a fish person and I liked it.

Thursday, we went up to Heights. Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well as Target were on our list. We bought new towels, shower curtain, and a carpet for Tom's bathroom. We went with dark blue for the towels and carpet. The counter is a light blue, this stuff will work. I got white plastic trays to reduce the clutter on the counter.

I think it's about time to clear out that bathroom and the linen closet. My daughters have some of their twin sized sheets, but there are still some in there that have flowers and what not for girls on them. Need to see what they want to hang onto and clear out the rest. I think my old towels are going to be going to the vet's office or something.

Target has a selection of Archer Foods and their store brand, Market Pantry. It's decent stuff.

Not much else to say right now.

This morning was rough on all of us. I slept on the couch for about two hours, maybe three. I stayed in the living room to be next to Shottie. I remember being awake when the other half came out to go to work. I heard him say goodbye to the dog. I remember Tom coming out to be with with Shottie when his alarm went off. I don't know if he went to class this morning or not. I told him to wake me about 9, which is after he gets back, so he might have. Wasn't expecting Himself to come back until lunch, but he came home from work about 10. Said he couldn't stay there.

The staff of the vet hospital came out to the car and took Shottie in on a stretcher. I think he knew... I think he was ready. The vet didn't give us much hope and it was his opinion that the possibility of cancer that he'd mentioned was now a reality. People often forget that doctors or all kinds are human and not miracle workers; they don't always know what's wrong. He told us that we had other options for treatment, but didn't offer us much hope for recovery.

What hurts so much right now is that Shottie was awake, he was aware, he was his wonderful sweet self and yet we still let him go. The family decision was that none of us wanted him to be in pain. He didn't complain and the fight had gone out of him. So it was clear that if he wasn't in pain and was practically dragging himself about instead of walking, that he was heading toward or was already at a paralysis stage.

We stayed with our dog until he had passed on. It was sad and somehow moving. I got to thinking that he could easily have ended up in a shelter as a puppy and not have found a home, but ended up with us. The hands on him when he left us were those that had cared for him the better part of his life. He just slipped away. It was just quiet.

This has been hard on all of us, but hardest on Tom. Shottie has been with him about half of his life. Saddest thing I have heard from him is ... "I wanted another dog, but not like this." He wanted to have two dogs, but we told him no.

( Pictures behind the cut )

This is not the best of days. I'm going through the motions of laundry, picking up, and what have you despite the fact that I'm indifferent to what the house looks like right now as well as a few other things. I feel quite numb and sad.

The hardest part, I think, will be over tonight. I'll call my daughter after supper, if any of us can eat, and tell her what is probably going to happen tomorrow morning. Silly as it might seem to some, I want to give her one more chance to share a moment with what was once her dog.

Shottie is not doing well. The medicine they gave him helped and yet it didn't. He seemed to be getting better until today. He hasn't eaten much in the last week or so and has been drinking a lot of water. The latter is normal this time of year, but it's like he's trying to flush his system. He seemed to be getting along better, was even bouncing about.

I let him out today to go do his thing, waited a bit and couldn't see him. My first thought was hopeful ... that he had made his way over to the side of the house where he likes resting, but when I went out to look, there was no dog. Had Tom look on the other side where I have trouble walking. The dog was out behind the game building. He was alert and seemed alright. BUT ... when he came inside, he was dragging one of his back legs. The joint isn't working like it should be. At best, this is an injury that needs attention, at worst, his body is giving up and it's time to say our goodbyes.

I made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The odds are we will be coming home without him.

This post will become public after Liz is told. I don't want someone to tell her "I saw it on the net," before she hears it from us.

Current Mood: numb

Sunday was somewhat of a goof off and vegetate day. I hope to write something but I'm enjoying the quiet.

Today's Trivia: Jennifer Ehle, who starred in the mini series of Pride and Prejudice is the daughter of Rosemary Harris.

For the first time in years, I bought a new purse. I figured... plenty of room and I need one because the zipper on my belt pack has gone pffft. So, I got this nifty bag. I was all excited, lots of room, etc. I got it home, got it unpacked.. and when looked the front flap over, there was a problem. Yup... The binding had already parted from the purse. So, it goes back tomorrow while I'm running errands.

Monday's List
Drop off bills to the post office.
Return purse. See about another one.
Look at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for a pet net. I hope can find one there, I'd rather not have to order via the net. I can try Big Lots and see what they have got.
Get the garage side wall of the MBR ready to be cleaned.
Laundry
If I get back early enough, wash the dog.

Write - ZOMG... almost 5 AM and now something begins to perc in the writing area!!!

12:09 PM

Thirty minutes goes too quickly most of the time and others, it drags by. Having lunch then getting things done about the house. General pick up. Yard pick up. Bathroom ceilings and walls. And I want to have it all done by 5 PM! Hopefully, Ill be able to get enough done today that I feel like I accomplished something. I think I'm dreaming. ::nodnod:: Or maybe it's delusions of grandeur. I dunno.

4:47 PM

Eh... could have done more, but at least I feel like I accomplished something. I did laundry. Picked up trash in the yard. Cleaned up inside. Brushed and bathed the dog. The last is an experience in itself!

By 9:45 PM I had run a clean broom over the bathroom ceiling to knock down cobwebs, etc. I scrubbed and scraped half of the shower cabinet. There's a big difference in how it looks. I used lemon juice and water, so it smells pretty nice, too. Don't know of anything else green to use that would do the job well enough.

Anyway, my goal for Monday is to finish the back wall of the shower cabinet and do the medicine cabinet. I can only stay bent in a certain way for so long, so I have a back up plan.

I need to get to the post office before 3 PM to get an Express mail out to Himself. Also have some plastic bags to drop off for recycling and clothes to drop off for donation. Want to have dinner done and cleaned up by 7.

My scent for today is Rainkissed Leaves from Bath and Body Works.

Bagged and tagged May 2006.

I should have gone to bed, but sleep is not coming, yet.

Monday was busy as was predicted and expensive. We did get the dog to the vet. He got his allergy shot, special shampoo and pills to help prevent fleas and ticks from aggravating his problem. ($180) The college bookstore bill was to the tune of $380. Oh, yes, pricey, but that's about right for college text books. The book for Tom's last English class is to be used for the current one as well. And last stop was the grocery store.

By the time we got all that done and got home, it was time get dinner started. I made a meat pie. It left enough for the other half to have lunch at work today.

My house looks like a tornado went through and at the moment, I just don't care. That's probably bad.

Saturday, we made a trip to Austin. (We go, maybe, twice a year anymore.) Dragon's Lair and Half Price Books were the main stops for the day. We came home with a shameless haul. My birthday isn't until next month, but I already got my gift from my husband. I've had my eye on the Chronicles of Narnia unabridged audio CDs for some time now, but they list at about 75.00. Half Price Books had them for 35.

Sunday is likely to be busy. The dog needs a bath as he's going to the vet on Monday. Nothing serious, an allergy shot. He does apparently have a touch of arthritis. In a nine year old dog, that's not all that rare. Monday, we also need to get Tom's school books squared away. His online classes begin at the end of the month.

Normally, I do my cleaning on Monday, but with the appointment scheduled, I might crank up Sims 2 in the afternoon and do the pick work during my loading times. Just basic stuff like laundry and dishes. Since we went out today, the yard was put on hold again. So, I might get that done after we get the dog home on Monday. Might have time for some of it after I get done inside. Have to wait until 4 PM or so when the sun is lower and the heat isn't so much.

Seems funny to be discussing heat when much of the US is getting colder and preparing for snow or, in at least one place, has already had it! I'm very much looking forward to the delivery and installation of our new back door. I think it will be nice to be able to sit out on that little cement slab that's supposed to be a patio and have natural light for reading and maybe needlework as well. I have a small folding table that can be hauled around easily. I've been discussing an awning or some other type of overhead cover for the patio with the other half. He wants one of those porch swings. I can deal with that! I still want overhead cover because the back of the house is in direct sunlight most of the day; in summer it gets very hot. This IS Texas after all.

So, I spent Sunday sleeping, except an hour, I think. Late Saturday night was not pleasant. I think I won't be going to that Mexican place again anytime soon. Kevin didn't get sick, so we aren't 100% certain it was the food, but better to not take the chance again.

If you find stray replies to old entries, bear with me, I'm catching up.

I often wonder what happens to people when they just up and disappear from view. I mean ... recently an LJ friend nuked his LJ and I'm wondering... alive, ok, not ok?? What's up? Am I the only one that wonders these things?

I think I forgot to mention that we saw the Dark Knight a while back. I liked it. Unlike Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker, which was a bit on the comedic side, Heath Ledger's interpretation is dark, that of a man gone mad. This ain't Adam West's campy Batman, kids, it's hard hitting and action packed!

Today, I think I'm finally back from that bout of sickness. My body is back to its version of normal. ::knocks wood:: I cleaned up the master suite and living room, did a pile of laundry still working on that, one in the dryer and one that needs to get there), cleaned out one car, and put the recyclables that I have ready to the curb for pick up. I should put a load of dishes in to run before midnight. I say midnight instead of bed because who knows what time that will be tonight. 9:43 PM, dishes loaded and running.)

Got Subway for dinner. The nice thing about getting a footlong for dinner is that we generally have the other half for lunch.

Tuesday, I need to attend to:
More laundry
Kitchen detail
Dinner (Pork in wine and garlic butter)

I think I'll save the office clean up, yardwork, and dog bathing for tomorrow or later.

When I went to pick up Subway, I took Kevin's car and the dog. Shottie has trouble getting in and out of the truck, but since the car is lower, he can ride in there. I took both sets of keys, left the AC running, and locked up. He was fine for the five minutes I took to run in and out. Seems to think he's the driver, but otherwise it was all good.

Around sunset, we had a lovely show out front. Those of you that appreciate nature would like this. Dragonflies, a dozen or so, were flitting about from yard to yard. They are much too fast for me to catch on camera, but it's things like that that make me stand in awe.

An other natural wonder, I have no idea where the bees are hiding out around here, but we have some! Every time I put a bag of soda cans out for recycling, they come poking about.

Not much else today, other than to say that as much as my son drives me bonkers over his cleaning techniques or lack there of, it seems I have been lucky in the offspring dept.

Mother's Day was rather peaceful and for that I'm grateful. My husband managed to annoy me only twice this year, meaning Mother's Day this year. This is ... scary, but good.

I wasn't feeing up to par, so I lazed about in bed. I heard barking in the distance and keep telling myself, "No, that's not Shottie, it's too far away." I got up and wandered the house, no dog in the living room, no dog in Tomsbad Cavern and the Man Cave was shut. Then I heard.. thump... near the front door. Apparently, my male pooch is smarter than than his human counterparts because when I opened the door, he gave me that, "Oh, Hi, I've been waiting on you" look. So, that was the first minor annoyance. The husband gets the blame because he sent his group through the gate and, once again, failed at supervising because it was left open. Um ... I could have sworn that's why he was tossing things out of there like a mad fool on Saturday morning. (Failure to supervise clean up.) However, I digress, but not much because it leads to the next case of lunacy of the day!

When letting the dog in, I spotted the AC filter, that was changed on Saturday, under Himself's car. The son and I don't put the trash can to the curb until Monday night. There's a reason for this, HIGH winds happen a lot in TX. You guessed it ... trash can lid (one of those automated thingamabobs) was open. That means that the loose papers that were in it were blowing out. Not a good thing at all. So, I went out, trash bags in hand and cleaned up and bagged what he tossed. I dug out what he shouldn't have tossed. (This is where I muttered about boneheads.) I found some pennies in there and just eyed them.

Not too long ago, Himself was going about about respecting money and how he always does. So, when he trundled into the house to eat, I told him what happened with the trash can and dropped the pennies in his hand. I told him that the next time he wants to lecture me about me not respecting money that he needed to remember the money that he literally threw away. His retort ... "I didn't do it on purpose." Um.. yeah, and that's why I check after him. Because he doesn't think about what he tosses out!

My oldest sends flowers for Mother's Day. She knows that I'm fond of roses and tries to send a bouquet twice a year. She called Saturday to find out if they arrived safely because she was not at home for me to call her. When I was done talking to her, I told my husband that while I appreciate the thought and symbolism of the flowers that the call means so much more.

Liz called and filled me in on how things are going for her and her family. We talked for twenty minutes or so. It's always good to hear her voice and the kids carrying on in the background. Usually they are laughing, it's a lovely sound. She got her gift and it was a hit.

Tom got me a tennis bracelet. It's quite pretty.

I called Mom. She also got her gift. Dad said she cried when she listened to the CD I sent her. It was the Platters. She said liked the Alfred Hitchcock DVD set, but didn't comment on the Bath and Body Works minis.

We went out for ice cream after the gamers went home. All in all, it was a good day!

If Monday was an example of coming attractions, I think I'm going to really like my husband's new work schedule. More important than that, he seems very happy with his new job! They have presently promised a minimum eight hours a week in OT. We had dinner before 7 PM. If I want to do crock pot meals they will have to go in earlier, but I think that will be a good thing.

I got not much done on yesterday's to do list. I did get the recycling stuff and bulk trash to the curb. Still need to take care of the dog. While I'm watching Sherlock Holmes and cooling my brain down, I'm going to finishing sorting the bead mess and bag and tag a bit. After sleep, I will take care of issues with the IRS and County Tax office. Both owe us money, YAY! I also have a pile of laundry to fold, a couple of loads of wash to do and clean up a few things around here. Car needs to be cleaned out. Need to check food supplies for extra ketchup, spaghetti sauce and a few other things. Thankfully, it's just the UHBS and nothing disastrous that needs to be done at present.

I'm editing a log for a story. I have a few ideas for a follow up piece. Something that was not played, but should fit.

2:33 PM

Laundry rolling, attending to kitchen.

8:20 PM

Got the laundry caught up save the load still in the dryer. Got the UHBS done. Got the one set of tax papers done, need the Spousal Unit to sign the others.

Got the dog shaved. Poor guy looks a mess, but at least he won't be chewing on himself and he smells better! He has allergies and when he starts to shed, he chews the fur, which irritates the skin, the combination of the allergies AND the shed/chew process is awful! If I could lift this 70 lb dog onto the the old table we have in the garage, the job would be easier. However, I can't, he balks at anyone else even trying. What can I say, he's my dog and spoiled!

I indulged in a hot shower after we shaved the pooch and have a lovely bottle of Mudslide.

The fan in my computer case has gone stewpid. It's not essential to the machine, it's more of an extra precaution. However, should I disappear from the internet for a while, you'll know why. There's a shop in the next town where I can buy the part and replace it, but not until Tom has the day off. It's a matter of replacing four screws and plugging it in. Oh, yes, as friend said, gotta wear shoes. It's an inside joke.

( The Daily Babble and boy do I ever! )

There are still 3 quotes on the movie quote meme that were not correctly identified.

Friday morning, the father-in-law called. Kevin answered. I must have heard him say, "Yes, I'm home, I don't leave for work for another hour," at least a half dozen times. He said he got the impression that the FIL wanted to talk to me, but never asked. He said something about Christmas presents being on the way. Now, I feel silly because they told us not to send presents last year and the only thing I'll be sending to them is the pictures from Liz's wedding. Ah well. Must think of something.

( The Daily Babble )

So, I here I was all ready to rant rabidly about the Sunday cluster that goes on here every week and something in

toadgirl's LJ caused me to smile and reflect on the more positive aspect of some things.

Every Sunday we have gamers over. It's a small group and my beefs aren't about the company, they are about the resident menfolk. How hard is.. "Tom, make sure the bathroom is clean before your company gets here" to grasp? It's not a huge big deal, but it is frustrating. On the good side, it gives the youngins something to look forward to every week and the parents involved know that these young men are out of trouble.

Kevin started on his project with the sand under the walkway to the game room. He also got rid of a nest of wasps on the side of the house.

I got all the parts cut for my latest craft project. Since there are a bunch of small pieces involved to create a three dimensional effect, it was a bit tedious. The pattern calls for white yarn and gold thread, but I'm wondering if a splash of color would look nice. Will post pictures when it's finished.

Had to bathe the dog, poor thing was a mess. Ick, fuzzy sick dog = messy back end.

On the last disc of Coffin Dancer. Listened to part of The Monsters of Morley Manor.

( Celtic Heroine Quiz and silliness behind the cut )

I've got two characters out of my head for the moment and can move on to the others, sort of. Some changes need to be made to pieces that I had already started, but I think it would be better to clear it all out of my head at one time. That will cover two of them. That leaves two still poking at my head and one trying to make up her mind. Don't ask, if you don't RP or don't write, I can't explain it.

Finished chapter 11 of Bright Orange for the Shroud by John D. MacDonald.
On disc 8 of Everything's Eventual by Stephen King.

I got everything done away from home that I planned to. Shopping done, bills dropped off and uniform retrieved from the cleaners. I have the ingredients for the taco thingies. I think I'll fix them tomorrow. Tonight, however, it's Hamburger Helper Chili Mac and some of that yummy Pilsbury French Loaf. Something quick, but it's a group favorite.

I had plans of getting a few things done in the yard, but noooooooo.... it started raining about five minutes after I got my haul from the store into the house and dropped the bag of potting soil in the yard near the "flower bed." In fact, the drizzle started while I was unloading the soil. Makes me glad I had the sense to drive the car around back, unload the groceries through the patio door, and haul ass out of there!

So, Friday, we wash the dog and get some yardwork done... if it's not soggy out there. If nothing else we should be able to get the better part of that mess of wood out of the yard.

10 PM
Sunday, Kevin is bringing the stones in for the sidewalk to go from the patio out to the game room. I just want the new patio door before one of the youngins slides this one too hard and I am wondering who gets to clean the glass.

I finished this needlework project and am pretty pleased with the final product! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to add anything else to the package besides this. At any rate, those a part of the poll items. Mailing 5 of 10. They will be on their way to their new home in Michigan in the near future.

I woke up in a good mood. This is very good. ::nodnod:: I started to roll down the covers to let the bed air out and found two black paws and a pair of golden eyes peeking out at me. The cat was snuggled up in there. I can never get to the camera fast enough to get those antics preserved on film or my memory card.

Came out of the bedroom to find the dog waggling away with one of those goofy happy doggy grins on his face. That's another good sign. I let him out and was greeted by the sight of my Nancy Reagan rosebush covered in orangish buds. When they open, they are apricot. Next to it, the Sundance has a yellow bud. It's November in Texas and it looks like it will be a glorious day out there.

I probably should be writing and adding to my story, but I feel tapped for the moment.

2:34 PM

I took a nap, I feel good again. Maybe it's snake syndrome. I eat, I get tired.

4:53 PM

I have a pile of pattern books to look through. Christmas and other holidays are coming. It's ornament and things time!! Trying to see what cool stuff I can come up with.

Current Mood: content

I had a disturbing if not frightening dream that seems to combine both of my daughters into one person. Jolted me awake and I just laid there staring at the ceiling. I hate when that happens. :(

I starting doing a bag and tag on Dec 2002 entries.

Worked in the yard today. Finally finished remulching, etc. the white rosebush out front. Got a lot of the wood scrap pile rerouted. By that, I mean I'm using some of it to cover the grass between rosebushes to make those easier to mulch when the weather cools. Still have some scrap wood to get rid of, but we did get a bag of mess into the trash for pick up tomorrow. Need to pick up the small pieces of wood that are still out there.

And something occurred to me.. why do people say the creation of the Catholic church instead of the division of it. Technically speaking, it's the other Christian sects that broke from Catholicism. Remember that the first Pope was "seated" in Rome.

I need to make dental appointments, an eye appointment, and call the vet's office to remind them that Shottie had his shots and the reminder cards aren't needed for this year as well and to see if they have the Frontline flea collars.

I have writing to do... two personal letters are still dangling and three bills need to be paid. Also there's at least one story chomping at the bit to be told.
