Blog

My husband was asked at church when I was going to be updating my blog. Well, I had meant to update it but...I know, if wishes were horses than beggars would ride. So now I'm sitting down and actually writing. Training Teleconferences, etc. Well, I the volunteer training has been rescheduled for October, so hopefully I'll get to participate in it then. I also missed last week's complementary … [Read more...] about Catching Up

OK, I've definitely fallen down in keeping this thing updated. I'll try and do better in the future. Medical Update I've had every sort of appointment you can think of under the sun during the past month and a half. Now I'm caught up on all of my doctors' appointments.

I headed upstairs and took a cold … [Read more...] about Dog Days of Summer

Back Better Than Ever I've finally gotten over that yucky bug that had me feeling so awful. I had a lovely, lingering case of laryngitis, which meant I had to deal with all sorts of interesting attempts at humor. I told everyone I had started chainsmoking, LOL (that's Laughing Out Loud for you non-Internet types). I was told I sounded like Blythe Danner, Brenda Vaccaro, and a very scary woman. … [Read more...] about Back Better Than Ever

Sick Puppy I have been one sick puppy this week. Sore throat, fever, chills - ick. I have to admit, I was relieved when I found out a coworker had the same thing I did. For a little while, I was afraid that I was just having some serious flulike symptoms in response to overdoing it this weekend. It was a relief to know that I was just an ordinary person with a normal illness that would run its … [Read more...] about Sick Puppy
