    Dear Paddy Cat: I'd really love it if you'd return to your new home, even if just briefly. I realize that you're a wanderer and it's quite possible that you've simply made a home for yourself elsewhere, but I worry about you all the same. Please be careful. If I made a mistake in rehoming you, I'm sorry. Really sorry.

    Taco Cat: I'm so glad to hear that you are doing so well and that you have a new best cat buddy named Raven. That's awesome. I miss you lots, but I love that you love your new home.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Dear In-laws,
    I know you have good intentions but we really, truly, absolutely do not want you to give us a Great Wolf Lodge weekend as a Christmas gift. I don't want to go!!!! And it's going to end up costing us money between traveling and eating out, etc. And your daughter's are lovely people, but I really don't want to get roped into having to spend an entire weekend together trapped in a urine-infested, germ hole of an indoor water park.


    Dear DH,
    You have no problem saying "no" to me, why can't you say "no" to your parents? Sisters? There would probably be a lot less hurt feelings if y'all just learned to speak up a bit.

    Limewave...I hear ya!! My in-laws have been in town for 2 weeks now. They have been staying with us and my house is not all that big. They are nice people...I just don't want to spend any more "quality" time with them. DH and the in-laws spend hours talking so I end up just sitting there. MIL also does strange things...on Thanksgiving day after I got home from work we had dinner, she had cumbs on her placemat. You would think she would leave it or take the placemat out to the kitchen and shake it out in the sink or something....but noooooo. She wiped onto my carpted floor. Sigh...I know it is something small but there have been a lot of small things that are really adding up.


    Mimi...I know I don't "know" you or Don but please give him and yourself a hug for me. I hope with all my heart that this Monday is a success and he can get on the road to recovery. All my best!! {{Mimi and Don}}

    Just spoke to Mom, and all of her tubes are finally out. Depending on how things go, she MAY get released to the rehab place Friday. It sounds like a nice place. We are all crossing our fingers, and she will be far closer to my sister there.

    As for me, 5 weeks after the original whiplash, I am still having problems with my neck swelling. Meh. Thinks will improve, I know that, just grumbling. The disc damage doesn't help, but the swelling has got to be from the whiplash. Seeing the specialist on 12/20 to discuss injections.

    We're here for you mimi ---even if virtually.

    I still think of that pie Don made for all of us for supper at your home after we arrived from Vancouver.

    Dear Powers that Be,
    Would you please send someone to buy my house? Finding out my renter is moving out the end of December and knowing that I'm going to have to pay mortgage and rent is not exactly the way to feel holiday cheer.

    I got out of a stressful situation that was affecting my health by leaving the city and moving here, but I really want to be able to make the final break. But I can't until that house has a buyer. heavy sigh.

    And if I now have the opportunity to pay rent and mortgage, why torture me by sending loads of catalogues full of stuff that I'd like to have? Bah, Hum Bug!

    It never ends, incredible. What a nightmare, having to rent out a place on the opposite side of the country!!!!!!!

    Yeah--it comes and goes. I think I slept funny last night, and on top of that, I've spent the past two days cleaning the lab, so there's a lot of bending and stretching to put things away. Actually, the worst thing isn't so much that one muscle, it's everything else that's trying to compensate for it.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    My friend who's been in the hospital for months in need of a new heart, whom I've posted in this thread about a few times, passed away this morning. I'm so thankful that I got to see him this past weekend and that he was still cracking jokes. He led a very full life, but that doesn't make it any easier that it was cut -so- short.

    I'm pulling hard for all of you and your loved ones who are fighting health battles.

    So sorry to hear about your friend. I too lost someone awaiting a heart transplant. It's rough
