February 10, 2010

Up at 10 am. Took the dogs out. Thn we had to rush home and take a shower when Lady Xica got in the way of Blitzen's marksmanship.

I am depressed this morning. All my neighbors are in the hospital. (That is an exaggeration. Helen is in the hospital. Oda Mae and Russ are staying w/their son while Russ gets radiation treatments. I dont know where ----- is. Cant remember her name. She is in the first stages of Alzheimer's.)
I cant find my Xmas camera. I know it is hiding under a piece of fabric somewhere.

I keep trying to think of good things. Lea is overnighting our batik quilt to Colorado to the silent auction. An org called Power of Seven is raising money for breast cancer research. That recent book I read about silent dying had a lot of good stuff about cancer. Our quilt was mentioned on the radio. Lea bid on it her self.

The above paragraph is how I think, thots all jumbled together.

Noon. I was ready to kill Blitzen. He went beserk about the leaf blower going by and pulled the cover off my coffee table. But under the piles of junque was my camera. I feel so much better.

Blitzkrieg's Tale
Lady Xica's Tale
What happens at Pup's stays at Pup's.

PPQS:
Lea and I began working on the green batik quilt.
Storm warning from 3 am to Friday 6 am. I intend to stay in the house tomorrow.

BOOK REVIEW
Faye Kellerman, *Blindman's Bluff* (2009)
I have read this before but enjoyed it enuf to read over again.
Peter Decker, LA police procedural. Blind man is a translator for the court. He is a peripheral character in a homicide investigation.
A wealthy man and his wife as well as security guards are killed on a remote ranch. The younger son is injured. Decker believes that the gunmen are hired killers, and he thinks that one of the surviving family members had hired them.

August 27, 2009

For curious readers: In 1960, I voted for the Prohibition Ticket which was on the ballot in Michigan and my mother knew some of the candidates.
In 1964 I had changed states and did not vote. In one of the campaigns I was mgr for a delegate to Illinois convention pledged to Barbara Jordan.

1:30 AM Cant get to sleep. Had a snack. Sometimes I think that Blitzen and I talk to each other. We do communicate. I was sitting up reading and he was sleeping on the sofa beside me. He got up and barked at me. He wanted us to go to bed.

8 AM Dragged myself out of bed. Vet apt for Lady Chica's annual. I promise myself I can sleep all afternoon.

We got to the vet's and hung around for an hour or so. Both dogs have gained a pound when they need to be losing. I could say it is muscle!!!! That is my excuse. Muscle weighs more than fat. Otherwise LC is in good shape.
now for my promised nap.

Slept all afternoon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLADYS.

I am going to keep track of when I feed dogs. I knew Lady Chica was gaining weight.

Blitzen's Tale
Mom dragged us off to the vet this morning. All I did was get weighed. Mom was irritated with me bc I kept scratching her and pestering her.

Lady Chica's Tale
Went to the vet this morning and had some shots. It was so boring. We had to wait around a long time bc Dr. Jan was sticking pins in some dog. I heard her tell mom.

We left for the dog park in time to be on the way home when the storm broke. We saw a violent lightning bolt that struck sparks in something. It was like fireworks. Three hail stones hit us.
Waiting for MI5. Hopefully no pledge drive tonight.



BOOK REVIEW
Faye Kellerman, *Blindman's Bluff*
Decker and Lazarus police procedural. This is a long lived series, about twenty books. Hannah was born in book three and now she is sixteen. In this book, a wealthy family is shot by intruders. Two sons and a bro are suspects.
