Ok, so late April, my subscription expires. Seeing as I'm broke as a joke, I opted to not renew. I may blog before my time is done, but in case I don't, here it is.

I like you guys though, and would like to keep in touch with those of you who are willing. There are three places you can find me.

Pop, I changed my name. Isn't it fun when you can just up and change your name with a few keystrokes?

The teenager is off his crutches, thank goodness. I was really tired of him setting them up to 5'9" and swinging back and forth like a monkey.
Today he also turned in his class choices for his first year of high school, which he...

We took Sam to the vet yesterday afternoon. He'd lost half his body weight since he was last there, and the doctor it was certain it was his liver and/or kidneys, with the possibility of a brain tumor. The blood work was extensive, and would have taken a couple of days. He was obviously suffering. I couldn't let him suffer longer just to find out...

I have a sick guinea pig and I have a feeling the vet trip may be his last. He's having trouble walking, can't hold his head straight, and he continues to lose weight no matter how much he eats. He's 4+ years old which is good for a piggie, but, if this is the end, He will be missed.

The kid only has a couple...

So the teenager is doing well. He's back at school, getting around on his crutches just fine. He's on them until March 19th. The doctor said, when we went for post-op, that due to the severity of the slip, if the screw doesn't work and his hip doesn't start to correct, they'll have to do another surgery where they make a cut in his femur...

pfffeeww. Long week.

A year and a half ago my son had a slipped capital femoral epiphysis in his right hip. Basically, if I can translate this correctly, the growth plate at the top of his femur slipped out of place, along with his femur. The doctor put a screw in to stabilize his femur.

Fast forward to last week. Zach is having extreme leg...

I feel old. And my headache won't go away.

Really liked raia's new set.

Cleaning out the kitchen is proving very interesting. We've got, like, a million uni-taskers (and we all know that the only uni-tasker that belongs in the kitchen is a fire extinguisher). Seriously, a tool to remove the leaves from strawberries?
Also, who needs seven can openers when only one is used? Thirteen whisks (even if they make a cool...

If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen, cleaning out the cabinets.

Merry Christmas, y'all.

Ok, well. I've still got gifts to wrap and cookies to bake. Have to shop for Christmas dinner. Other than that, everything is done.

Watched Little Miss Sunshine tonight. The only word I can come up with to describe it is "surprising."

I asked the teenager if he wanted to go see "Black Christmas" with me on Christmas and apparently he has other plans. Doody...

Fuck it all.

I'm sick again. This is like, a month and a half of being sick, feeling better, being sick, feeling better. I really want to sleep all day. I think I might.
