Life and Things

Got the first of two prostheses this month. I will hopefully be getting the second one July 5th. Plans were finalised for a trip to Alaska come July end. I’m looking forward to it. It’ll be about a week long, going through glaciers. Most of all, I’m looking forward to the COLD!

Our sick kitty is getting worse. We are approaching the time when we’ll need to put her to sleep, and that just hurts so much. She’s just a baby. But the quality is diminishing in her life. Thankfully, we’ve a place that will come to the house to do it. I worked at a vet clinic many many moons ago. Assisting in a euthanasia was one of the hardest things I ever did.

 

Blog Stuff

So, I found a geometric assload of reviews I did in 2016(!) and never posted to Port Jericho, even as drafts. Whaaaa?? I posted them everywhere else they were supposed to go. Needless to say, they are being slowly filtered in. I feel so special… not in a good way.
