I just got an IM from my husband, who's off traveling.
"I have seen her."
"Seen who?" I replied.
"Beijing's only cyclist wearing a helmet."
Well, ladies, we knew the wisest cyclist in Beijing had to be a woman, didn't we?

What a droll sense of humor he has!

Just saw this, haven't been drifting. She is doing well. The vet wanted to keep pulling blood work every three weeks to catch problems early. Unfortunately, due to money we cannot keep doing this all the time. The test is $48-70 depending on the number of values checked (they don't check all everytime) and her bills were well over $1,000 plus the subcu is about $40/week and her food is about $35 a case (12 cans, she eats a can a day), her pills are $44/month.Quote:

It was a tough thing to come out and say but we did right both times we know that and look it is March! He was adamant about not backing down the subcu levels when we looked at the blood numbers 3 weeks ago so we are just plugging along and she was being a brat this morning, always a nice sign.
He is in China again?! I thought he was going to Khazakstan or some such place next? I know Wales can't quite compete in exoticness but I was hoping for a visit here too....Quote:

China and North Korea this trip. He figures these are places that are in for big changes soon, so he wants a "before" impression in case he can also get there "after". Kyrgizistan in the Fall. Scotland and Wales in between.Quote:

Amanda, I'm glad Maggie is holding her own. Subcu can really keep animals happy and relatively well for a long time.
And Biciclista, Nina is really doing pretty well right now, considering that: she is 17 1/2 years old; has diabetes, IBS, and herpes in her R eye (not currently active, the animal eye doc said today). She is sweet and happy and purring. We really love her. We still really miss the Beeper.
I would like it to warm up just a little, soon. I've been freezing my butt all winter, seems like.
I cannot believe I have taken to running around Greenlake. Who would ever have thought I would do such a thing?
The forsythia that spills down the bank behind our house is starting to bloom. Spring!
We had a chance of snow overnight, so when I woke up, I peeked out the bedroom window and had a shock! It was all white out there! but hmmmm what's that little bit of pink mixed in?
OOOOH! It's the plum tree right outside the window, all bloomed out! lol. Not a flake of snow anywhere. I'm glad. :)

I despair that i will ever ride my bike again. It's either below freezing or it's raining/snowing.
Oh, I have the cure for you! Buy a trainer. You won't even have to ride it. As soon as you set it up, winter will end.Quote:

My Society Garlic almost looks to have perked up into song. Maybe it is just my imagination. :)
Congratulations on the rain, AA. I remember that feeling when I lived in AZ, where rain was so infrequent. One of the weirdest videos we have is when my husband actually taped a monsoon downpour one summer. Like rain was something so unusual, we had to video tape it.
I *think* I might actually ride outside Saturday. Predicted temp. of 46 and sun. I have a ride to lead in a month and I have to get my butt in gear. Not that I haven't been active, but still. It's the first winter i haven't ridden outside at all. At least the snow shoeing and skiing was good.
FINALLY we will get some decent bike riding in- look at our forecast, I'm so excited!!!!! :D :D :D :D
woo-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
