It’s Sunday Night

and we’re all broken-hearted.

We just scattered Tiger’s ashes in the back yard underneath the oak tree where our two Siamese kitties rest. I was shocked and surprised to see bones in her ashes. I don’t know, I just wasn’t expecting them…

It was a quiet day around here. We’ve been busy here and there and everywhere and today we just decided to stay home. Daniel played next door and had dinner with the neighbors, too.

Now the house is quiet except for the tv (Daniel) and the dishwasher and the clothes dryer.

I think I’ll go to bed early tonight.

Sunday again?

It’s Sunday again? I haven’t posted all week…it’s been busy!

OK, update on my husband: we saw his oncologist on Wednesday and received EXCELLENT news! His bone scan was negative! and the cancer in his lungs hasn’t increased NOR has it spread to any other parts of his body! The oncologist said, “It doesn’t get any better than this!” and we agree. Thank You, God, for hearing our prayers!

OK, sad news. Our chocolate lab died this weekend. We think she got bit by a poisonous snake…her right leg was swollen and she had a fever of 105.5* when we took her to the vet Friday night around 7:30. He gave her an antibiotic shot and kept her overnight. She died some time during the night, poor girl. We are all heartbroken. She was seven years old, not an old dog, she still acted puppy-like. We have already discussed the future and probably this spring we’ll get another dog. We are animal people, there are two cats in our family that allow us to share their living quarters and having pets is vital to our lives. We just have to mourn our Tiger and wait until spring…every time I looked out my kitchen window, my eyes went to her doghouse and I looked for her smiling brown face, but it wasn’t there. I miss her so much! Rest in Peace, sweet girl! The vet is going to cremate her for us and I’ll pick up the ashes when he’s done. We’ll bury her under the oak tree with our two Siamese kitties. We’ve invited our next-door neighbors to join us for the ceremony.

Life has good moments, and then it has sad moments. The important thing is to remember that no matter what, GOD is with us.

Tuesday Evening

Day Two of Liquid Diet.

My mom called first thing this morning to ask me a stupid question. She asked, “ARE YOU HUNGRY?”

What?

She claims to be supportive of me and my having surgery but then she calls me with a stupid question. OF COURSE, I am feeling hungry. I’ve barely eaten in the last 12+ hours.

Hubby says to ignore her. So if she calls tomorrow, I’ll let the machine pick it up LOL

Went to the pool today for a few hours and got browner. Me and Daniel were born with a head-start on our tans LOL

Got some sad news today while at the pool…one of the moms with children in our school has Stage Three breast cancer. Her youngest (a boy) will be in 3rd grade this coming year and she has twin daughters who will be in 6th grade and her oldest daughter will be in 8th grade. I am broken-hearted for them. I hate cancer. I will call her and offer support and see if there’s anything we can do to help out; one of the other moms at school is calling around and collecting money for gas and phone cards, since the oncologist and treatments will be in Springfield (one hour away from home). We are so broke right now and having to pay for our own travel to and from Columbia (four hours away) but we can offer to help out with the children. And of course, we will pray for her.

Went out for lunch today and had broth – yummy! And then for supper to the Chinese restaurant and had won ton soup…..cheated and had three soupy won tons…..oh well. For some reason, I feel FULLER after having broth than I do drinking my protein drinks. Go figure. Maybe it’s “in my head” or something. Probably…..

Hubby is mowing, Daniel is planting a tree and I’m off to see what else is going on in the world.

We leave tomorrow around 4:00 for Columbia, will spend the night and come home late Thursday so I probably won’t post again until Friday!

Hasta luego!
