a new mini

spent almost all day looking for a new mini computer to take on my trip..a new hp mini 310..is my first blog on it mouse is touchy

No espanol...

decided it was too much to take the espanol class while teaching and all the other stuff a director does...and does and does and does...etc...so, tonight it is a relief to be home and not running around trying to "fit" it all in...left work late went grocery shopping and got home late anyway but not the same pressure....the cleaning person is coming tomorrow...yea team! it will be worth the $ not to have to worry about finding time to do that too....little 4 paws is so needy...and so am I! ...what a pair of girls...i think my heater in the living room is not working very well...cold air is coming out! will call them in the am...i think we are going to get to have longer so that will be wonderful...so may not have to rush as much re the bmIII...that will be a relief...could maybe have a mini vacation like real people...

500th blog

omg---that is stunning...500 as of this one...went to a funraiser on Fri with n,a,l and had a blast...basically spent weekend trying to get some rest and catch up with myself. Now doesn't this picture look eye appealing? Well, think of 3 times bigger and lonnnnnnnnnnnng sharp nails times 4 paws...actually it is getting better or I am getting numb....could be both!

Going to the Spirit World

My classmate, EMcC passed away last Thursday and I had a dream about him on Tuesday night...that was odd...he was a great person and was very active in my high school class, of '65...so it is starting..my own classmates are passing away...it will be me sometime. So it is good to celebrate each day you are alive...the leaves are golden outside my window..falling so peacefully...a metahphor for sure...the tree is sheding its golden dress for winter..below is a yellow carpet of soft brown and golden leaves...on the other hand...4 paws is up to her ole treats...new bandages on my hand...sure hard to work at my desk with her jumping all around...she is resting now..getting ready for the next attack...cleaning herself...what a cutie pie...the life cycle.

What a Day
