13th Day of Thanksgiving (T-Minus 15 and counting)
And you thought I was going to forget! (Again.) Today I’m grateful that my little Bidula is doing much, much better. We have one more appointment for sub-q fluids, on Saturday, which will be her seventh appointment in thirteen days, and every penny I’ve billed this month will just about cover her vet bills, but […]
Oops
Uh, so for the 12th Day of Thanksgiving (yesterday)… Okay, I forgot. I even looked at this stupid blog a few times and it just never registered I needed to mention something I’m thankful for. So now…. For yesterday, I’ll say that I’m thankful for all the good people in the world. In particular, the […]
11th Day of Thanksgiving, plus baked ziti
Today I’m thankful that my late mother was such a good cook. I know that’s the reason I became a good cook, too, and that’s something I’ve really enjoyed. Truth be told, I believe I care way more about it than she did. I think she found it gratifying to cook good food, especially for […]
Tenth day of Thanksgiving
…or T-minus 18 and counting. Today I’m grateful for the freedoms we take for granted here in the U.S. of A. I’m free to spout whatever nonsense I please, including the harshest criticism of any elected officials, and to try and persuade everybody else to agree with me, as long as I don’t place anyone […]
9th Day of Thanksgiving
…or T-minus 19 and counting. Tee-hee. Today I’m thankful that I became a sports fan. I came to love sports relatively late in life. I was in my early forties when I got involved in a new ministry at my church. At the time (in the late 90s) I lived in northwest San Antonio, and […]
8th Day of Thanksgiving
(Okay, so I guess I’ve decided to stick to that format, at least for the moment.) Today I’m grateful for the peaceful, safe community in which I live. Southlake is a small town (27,706 people) in a very large Metroplex (6.6 million people). When I first moved here, I often remarked that it had all […]
I’m glad I know her
It’s the 7th Day of Thanksgiving, and my mother-in-law’s birthday! I’m thankful that I’ve had the chance to know her. We didn’t start out all that smoothly. Rich was recently divorced when we met, and his whole family thought he was re-marrying too soon. (We’re married 27 years now. Ha, and nyeh!) I have to […]
6th Day of Thanksgiving
First of all, Biddy is feeling much better, thank you for asking. Unfortunately, though, the x-rays they took last night show a couple of things that could be very bad news, indeed. They’re going to repeat the x-rays tomorrow, so hopefully we’ll find out more. (Please, if you would, say another prayer or two for […]
And speaking of cats…
Does anybody else have a cat who loves plants? I mean, “loves” as in to eat? Rocky, who started out as about the saddest of all our hard luck cases, can’t get enough plant matter. If I don’t feed him some kind of greenery fairly regularly, he chews on the house plants. Every now and […]
T-minus 23
…or, the 5th Day of Thanksgiving. (I warned you. I like them both, so I’ll use them both!) Today I’m thankful for a (relatively) good report on Biddy. In fact, I guess that, relatively speaking, it’s a great report. Her heart, liver, thyroid and pancreas are all okay. She has renal pyelonephritis, a bad kidney […]
