Glad to hear Don is in good spirits! I hope you enjoy your ride tomorrow.
gargling with warm salt water seems to be helping! (Thanks for reminding me)
woke up today feeling better.
Today is day 2 of a warming trend here, so I am glad we didn't schedule the ride for tomorrow!
Glad you're feeling better! Hope the ride goes well.

Our 100k rides usually include 2-6 people. Suddenly 15 people have signed up for this ride! We think it's probably a show of support for Raleighdon. I'll let you guys know.
I would only quibble to the extent that I think it's "love for Raleighdon". :) Yup, I think a bunch of folks will be there, including Chris. Have a good ride! Nice day for it.
WOW! Great news Deena!!
Dear Eddy,
Thank you for sitting and looking at the door until we finally realized Twiggy escaped. If it wasn't for you, we might not have noticed for a lot longer, and she might have gotten outside when a neighbor came in. We might have lost her for good. Good job.
Dear Twiggy,
I hope you like the collar with the bell, because you're wearing it from now on. I can't trust you, you sneak. Sorry if you got scared that we didn't look for you right away. Thank your brother. He's your hero.
Glad Twiggy was ok!
Thanks. She's hating the collar, but the bell sounds so cute. Serves her right. :D
I'm such a sucker. It's off. What was that, half an hour?
She got her back claw caught in it, and was stuck with her leg over her head. I hate it when that happens. :rolleyes:
Dear YMCA,
Please explain to me why the swim team needs the pool for 5 hours Monday - Friday afternoons and evenings. When are normal people with jobs supposed to swim? :(
Signed,
Disappointed
Dear self,
amazing, you lasted all of 48 hours after your parents returned home before the anxiety, dread, stress and crying started. Also, you resisted the urge to hurl the stupid constantly ringing phone out of your window.
Dear people who care,
I made the choice long ago that once I have enough money to do so, I'd move away from my parents' house and stop having a relationship with them. Now I do have enough money but only JUST ENOUGH. Yes, I could be putting 800 bucks a month towards grad school instead. Yes, I realize in the context of the culture we live in, to not have a relationship with one's parents and to choose to live away from them is considered immoral, bad and I don't know what else. No I don't care because this was a hard decision I finally made after too many bad things happening with my family and realizing I don't have the skills yet to negotiate a relationship with them. Its the right decision for now, because I need to learn how to relate to people without freaking out and my parents need to understand what these things called 'boundaries' are. You have not lived in my shoes for long enough to understand what issues are at play in the decisions I make. So while your concerns are very valid and I appreciate having someone finally be concerned with my life, please, please, please withhold judgment of what I want to do and just be supportive. Living with my parents and trying to have a relationship with them isn't right for any of us right now. Maybe in a few years time, it will be. But now, what I really need is to find a place, start transitioning to living on my own and just keep on being happy, stable and calm instead of starting the slide to becoming dark and angry all the time.
Dear potential landlord,
I'm calling you on your crap. Your room was available for rental until you heard that I'm local and suddenly, your 'relative' wants to come live with you and its not for rent any more? This isn't the first time I've had this kind of nonsense pulled on me and I knew what was about to go down the second your agent asked me "Why aren't you living with your family if you're local?" Please go sod yourselves. I hope that one day, when you're experiencing the same dire need to find a place to live in as I am now, that the same thing will happen to you.
The salt water gargling must have worked Mimi because you were looking fine and Don well what can I say he was looking great!!!! Full of energy, happy, enthusiastic, he's truly amazing! I had a super great fun time and ride yesterday! Let me know when you and Don do your October P12! Hopefully less detours and a bit cooler though! :p
I guess i had a 24 hour sore throat virus. Throat was red, tonsils nasty, and I felt rotten too. Go figure. And Saturday I just laid around! But yes, that salt gargle worked.
I am extremely glad to be done with super hot rides for the year (and I hear all you non-northwesterns snorking) it was in the 80's!! full sun ALL DAY!!
