My grandfathers blood pressure got very low today. He ended up falling and broke his shoulder. At the hospital they also discovered that his aorta is enlarged. In the morning they will run more tests to find out about the infection that he has.

Last weekend I went to a competition for the drill teams that I am on. Its similar to military drills except we use swords instead of rifles. One team has seven people on it and came in first place in that division. The other team has fifteen people and came in third for that division.

While there we went to the zoo. The wife and I got to feed crackers to the giraffes, and one of the elephants would hold her trunk up begging for them until you threw her one.

I forgot my camera, so no pictures.

Time for an update i guess.

My kitty never returned, I hope she just moved on to someone else's house. She just showed up one day, but she was a sweet cat hope she is still out there somewhere.

Life is somewhat boring still so nothing new.

I have not seen my cat thats pregnant for about a week, hopefully she is hidden somewhere with her kittens.

I saw this great sandstorm on Saturday.


Here are pictures of animals I saw on my vacation last year.

My father-in-law got a hip joint replacement today, and is doing very well.

More cold weather here and I hate it.

Hello dearhearts,

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day!

Nothing new or exciting going on around here, because I live a boring life.

One of my cats, which I got because someone dumped her at my house. I think she is pregnant.

I can't wait for this cold weather to be over, I am getting tired of freezing my ass off.

On a better note, my back and rib are not hurting anymore, thank you all for your comments.

A friend told me she wakes up with bad hair, bet its not as bad as this.

Hope everyone has had a nice new year.

Mine got off to a not so great start. The night of the 1st I had a water leak and went under the house to fix it. I fixed the leak and everything was good until I got stuck coming back out. In the process of getting loose I pulled something in my back and ended up with a bruised rib.

One of my cats sleeps on my chest when I go to bed, last night she came running into the room and jumped onto the bed and hit me right on the bruised rib. It hurt so bad I had to get up and set it a chair for a while. The back is okay now, but the rib is killing me. I had a slight cold today, and all the coughing has made it sore. I have heard that a bruised rib can be painful for a long time, I am not looking forward to that.

I picked up a family photo album today.

Graceland 1982



When I was a kid my parents told me Elvis died from taking drugs and drinking alcohol. At the time I thought they meant the alcohol we had in the medicine cabinet, and I couldn't understand why someone would drink it since it had the poison skull and crossbones on it.
