World, I've tried to come back to blogging but it just isn't in me anymore. Am hereby quitting, although I'll be in touch via FB.

THanks for the love, and know that it is returned, Bridg

Beautiful Day (?)

Thanks Peter T....

If you walk out the door tomorrow morning and see this in the sky......

.....just go back inside, have another cup of coffee, and stay home.

It's NOT going to be a good day.

Hello Yah It's Been A While

Hi folks and very sorry for the prolonged absence.

A fair bit's been going on here lately....hmmm how to describe it.

First, a relative I'm not allowed to blog about was very very ill. In the hospital for more than three weeks. At one point five TEAMS of doctors were involved, no one knew what the heck to treat first and no one could (or can even now) know what the heck was wrong. There was a day when I didn't think the person would live. 40 pounds lost. No solid foods for days. Man it was awful. But they're on the mend, so now things are better.

I also lost something that could have gotten a lot of folks in trouble. Well, actually I didn't lose it as much as I forgot where I'd put it. It was a very hairy week. Suddenly something hit the press, and my boss remembered that she'd borrowed the thing I'd lost.

Yee gadzooks.

The Most Spoiled Cat In The Universe has kidney failure, but no one knows how bad it is. Might be just starting. The vet noticed that she'd lost a kilogram in a year. For a cat the size of a raccoon, that isn't great but not a whole lot. The problem is that with kidneys, by the time that symptoms show up, things are pretty far gone. I did get her teeth cleaned/pulled, and now she's even happier. So she doesn't look, eat or act sick. Hopefully she'll live a lot longer. She's 15 (I think) now.

And me? Still ummm round, oldish and sassy. Work's fine as I said before, not much new there except that if you see something nasty on TV, I"m studying it. Dirty Harriet, that's me.

Will be round to visit you all asap. Have seen some of you on FB (my addiction).

The Campbells Are Coming

Thanks Peter M!

A bloke walks into a Glasgow library and says to the prim librarian,

'Excuse me Miss, dey ye hiv ony books on suicide?'

To which she stops doing her tasks, looks at him over the top of her glasses and says,

'Fook off, ye'll no bring it back!'

Thanks Phlegmfatale!

Rough Throat (Boy)

Hey world, just can't stop playing that ZZ Top song. Must be driving my neighbors a little nuts.

Have had bronchitis since Feb. 14. This is getting ridiculous! Am back at work. Not much coughing except for when the Tylenols wear off. Didn't ask for more antibiotics--the side effects are worse than bronchitis. Anyway it's slowly going. Slowly.

Not much news to relate, except that there has been a fair bit of partying going on here despite the cough. I turned 57 (UGH!) last Sunday, and as of yesterday was still going out with pals to celebrate. Honestly you guys are the very best.

The family party was great too. No one was ticked with anyone else, and we celebrated not only me but nephew and niece as well (March 4 and Feb 28, respectively). It was a truly good time. So next week's gonna seem a bit dull.

Except that boss-man will be on vacation *grin* and pal Peggy will be in town that weekend (21-23). AND except that it is pal Aggie's birthday on Tuesday!!! Not just St. Patty's day!

It's slowly turning to spring here, folks. There's actually sun and today it was 40 outside (Farenheight). It's been damn cold this week but OK today. Not that I'd know, since I'm not even dressed yet and it's 5:11 (am taking it easy, obviously). The snow's going away (lots left tho) and the cardinals sound like they're pretty busy.

Don't know how Mom's doing since I haven't been over there since I got sick. Sis has taken up the slack. If I'm feeling good tomorrow will go. She has a tendency towards pneumonia so am being cautious.

And what season is it chez you, world?

Barbie Girl

Thanks Vic! Two of us in blogland of whom I'm aware have birthdays this month!

Centerfield (OK it's the wrong sport)

Thanks Peter M, would not have missed seeing this for the world!

Calling America

Hi world! Sorry for the long absence, I had and still have bronchitis. An old un-fave illness.
Friend Tina said that daytime TV is good motivation to have a job. Guess what, she's right!

The doc cleared me to go back to work tomorrow. My boss was astonished but since a lot of the other staff are sick, I think he'll be glad for the company. And guess what, my office-mate, the new guy, actually sent me 'how are you' notes while I was home sick. Isn't that nice? And pal/colleague S called me too.

Those guys are terrific.

Sis might wind up working in my org. She had an interview, and although I'm not sure about the level of enthusiasm she displayed (low in my view), they're checking out her references. Kewl. And a pal who slaved in the hellhole with me, is going to wind up working in my group. Yahoo, she is just what the boss needed too.

So that's all great news, isn't it?

Mom's doing fine, I think. Have not been to see her in two weeks because she's prone to lung illness and I don't want her to get this bug that I have.

The Most Spoiled Cat In The Universe is quite happy. The more I"m home,the more she gets petted and brushed and the more TV she gets to watch. Plus she has a nice warm body to sleep on. When I go back to work she'll be heartbroken.

Will be visiting you all this week, world.

Hang in there, and steer clear of coughing people!
