Delta Society

This is such a wonderful thing that I have been doing for the last few days. And Pete and I test out next Sunday. Clik on the title for information about the organization. I'm just to tired to write about it tonight.

Pete is going to school to become a Therapy Dog

Just taking pictures

I took a slew of pictures at a local dog agility show last Saturday and I have been culling out all the ones that are blurry, out of focus, can't see the dog someone walks in front of the camera... ect. A bigger job than I expected. Heres one of my favorite dogs.

Just never know

I posted my old high school class picture a few blogs back because a few other blogger cohorts where doing it. It was fun. I had the picture out because I wanted to show someone how I can make that picture look good as new with the miracle of photoshop. When I get that done (after I feel better) I'll post it. But the best part is my high school sweetheart left me a couple of really nice comments. Who ever would have thunk!

By the way, I didn't feel so hot today but after sleeping for 6 more hours I feel like I am on the mend.

A OK

Its done, I survived. It went very well. I don't even have a black eye or a pig nose.

The Purina Diet

I was in Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina for my dog and was in line to check out. A woman behind me asked if I had a dog........ Duh!

I was feeling a bit crabby so on impulse, I told her no, I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost
50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care unit with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms. Her eyes almost bugged
out of her head.

I went on and on with the bogus diet story and she was totally buying it. I told her that it was an easy, inexpensive diet and that the way it works is to load your pockets or purse with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The package said the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a tall guy behind her.

Horrified, she asked if something in the dog food had poisoned me and was that why I ended up in the hospital.

I said no.....I'd been sitting in the street licking my
butt when a car hit me.

I thought the tall guy was going to have to be carried out the door, he laughed so hard.

Back to school

This is a picture of me just before I dropped out and turned on. I was 16 and a Junior in high school. 1968

Wash my face, Brush my teeth

Labor day

I'm ...... unhappy. It's a holiday and I can't get a refill on my thyroid medication. Who would think the Dr would write a prescription for one month. And the health insurance people have denied my sinus surgery. Can't call them either. Tomorrow is the pre-op for the surgery and of course they are on holiday.

All of this kind of thing I have no tolerance for anymore. My threshold for patience is almost nill. I'm trying to remember the days of yore when I had a more cavalier attitude. It is like a dream of some one else's life. Couldn't have been me. So I am putting on my happy face (that's supposed to work) and am trying to be positive.

Actually I really don't care at this point. I've ranted and raved ad infinitum. And what do ya know. I feel better. Or at least I'm not so attached to the outcome. I always try and remember its not whether I live or die (like I have a choice) but how I live. And if I don't get rid of the bile that is eating me up my life will be useless.
