After reading that it’s been scientifically shown that swearing is good for you, I began to realize that I have overused all my best swear words so that they’ve lost a lot of their effectiveness. Now, I use a variety of them and combine/recombine them fairly creatively, so you’d think it would take quite a […]
In this case, that means the temperature matches the humidity.
Yesterday: 100 and 95%.
Today: 95 and 95%.

Grandma’s back home, perfectly fine, and more worried about the dog than herself.
Blue is miserable and clinging like a sick two-year-old, which is appropriate, given the circumstances. The only thing that seems to soothe her is lying across my lap while I sit on the floor, so I am spending a lot of time on […]
:holds hands out, palms up:
Dog, mother… mother, dog… birthday…? Birthday?!? Wait, there’s not a hand for birthday!
I woke up at 4 a.m. and couldn’t get back to sleep; took Blue in about 8 and got home about 10 (long wait to talk to the vet about what they’re doing and what I’ll need to dress […]
This afternoon, Blue’s lung films looked good (what looked like spots to me the vet says were just “old-dog lungs”) and her lymph nodes palpated clean. Brita the vet will send the x-rays to the pathologist just to be sure. And I had her show me how to palpate the lymph nodes so I can […]
