Protected: I So Don’t Need This Right Now (I)
Only in a Small Town…
I went to town yesterday to get prescriptions renewed and to do a hospital visit before going to the local coffeeshop to read.Â? Apparently, I was so out of it that I left my prescriptions on the counter and walked out of the store without them.Â? About an hour or two later, I ran into my pharmacist at Albertson’s and she told me that she had my prescriptions, offering to meet me back at the pharmacy to go get them after she grabbed a few things.Â? So… I do have my meds and I’m thankful that I don’t have to wait until Monday.
Sadness
I was talking to Mom when she got a message from my uncle in Great Falls (her older brother).Â? They had put their eldest cat Fredd to sleep around New Year’s Eve (he had MASSIVE kidney failure) and apparently, their other cat Loogy decided to join his brother on the Rainbow Bridge.Â? He suffered a recurrence of the thrombosis attack that he had 8 years ago (I can’t remember the exact name but it paralyzes the lower limbs and is excruciating for the cat) and didn’t survive this one.Â? He was in good shape otherwise and so this is a shock and also very sad because Loogy was a great cat.Â? (Loogy and Freya are clones except that Freya has eyeliner and Loogy had a mustache.)
Please keep my aunt and uncle in your prayers, especially my uncle because this is like losing two kids at once.
Minnesota Can’t Count
Updated My 101 in 1001
My last day of this is actually May 12th but I decided to go see how I’d done.
My list is here.Â? I knocked 10 items off this during this last year.Â? Go me!
Resolution Redux from Last Year and New Ones for This Year
So here are my resolutions from last year and how I did with them:
-not eat any blue paint: Kept it
-develop healthier habits now that Iâ????m working and have limited spare time to exercise:Â? Ummm… yes and no.Â? When I wasn’t injured, sick, or pregnant, I did.Â? Otherwise, no dice.
–do what I can to fight injustice, hunger, and poverty in the world: Ran Day of Blogs and blogged in it.Â? I guess that counts.
-work on my relationship with God: This is kind of ongoing.
OK… here are my new ones:
-not to eat any green paint (figuring that I’m doing well enough on the blue stuff)
-to not badmouth my co-workers when they aren’t present (I’ll do parishioners next year if this works)
-to get bills out on time
-to blog more often
-to have a healthy rest of my pregnancy
