The Good, The Bad, and The Furry

The Good
-Our stay in the Cities from Sunday night to Tuesday night was wonderful.
-The Ministerial Health Assessment was very painless and actually really affirming.
-I got sushi for dinner on Monday night.
-I walked miles and miles around the U of M campus.
-I got to binge on $tarbucks.

The Bad
-I got pulled over by the Highway Patrol outside of Hutchinson for being all over the road. (Thankfully, the cop believed that I was just really tired and dizzy from low blood sugar and let me off without a ticket provided I let Jon drive the rest of the way.)
-Some church pain got dumped in our lap minutes after finishing the ministerial health stuff.
-I have WICKED hayfever that’s causing me to be headachy, congested, and nauseous.
-We’re having to borrow to cover our taxes and I have to get all the paperwork done tonight.

The Furry
-My panther has been a love since we got back. She’s beating me with her (very long) tail, putting her paws on my lap, and snuggling with me whenever I’m curled up in a ball in bed.
-Loki came by today and is looking OK.

JP II

The Pope died an hour ago.

Lift up prayers for the Roman Catholic Church and for any practicing Catholics you know. This will be a hard time for them.

A New Addition to the Family

Jon and I have decided that we want to get a puppy. I know this is totally going to shock most of you who know I’m a cat person, but I really love Jack Russell terriers and there’s a parishioner who raises them.

We’re going to call him Eddie and we’re going to pick him up from them next weekend.

The kitties will have someone new to play with!

APRIL FOOLS!

It Is Finished

CNN.Com: Terri Schiavo dies.

I’m with Rick on this: there are no winners here. I’ve been quiet on this situation because I’ve watched families having to make the decision to cease life support and I know it’s a tough one. Her case is definitely a reminder that if you don’t want to “remain in a persistent vegetative state” that you need to have a living will detailing what you want done and when you want it done.

I’ve been praying for a peaceful release for Terri and it looks like she got it. She is in God’s hands now…
