Humans are a sick and disgusting race! Some of us are ok, trying to make the environment we live in better. We can show empathy and compassion for other living creatures. Most of us, however can be cruel and an embarrassment. What gives us the right to think that we are better then anything else living on this planet? Why will someone get prison time for beating another person, and a small fine for beating an animal? Can anyone answer that?
I was reading this site: http://www.herveycats.com/tales.htm (Careful it has some heartbreaking stories). It's a non-profit foundation here that takes in stray and abused cats, rehabilitates and adopts them out. I heard about it on the news, because this woman operates this place out of her home, but the home owner is selling and she was pleading for help. So, cat lover that I am, I checked out the site. It broke my heart to hear some of the stories of the cats that she has. I also had to give her credit for not hunting down some of those "responsible" people and not beating them as badly as they hurt the cat/kitten. And these stories are mild compared to other that are out there.
I look at my cats and think that anyone who hurts them had better pray I never find them. No creature deserves that kind of pain.

Hold It Tight
Wednesday, December 28, 2005
i saw this on loveones.blogspot.com and i liked it. i hope you all do, too.
TAKE MY HAND
Yesterday you asked me something
I thought you knew
So i told you with a smile
Its all about you
Then you whispered in my ear
And you told me too
Said you make my life worthwhile
Its all about you
And i would answer all your wishes
If you ask me to
But if you deny me one of your kisses
Don't know what I'd do
So hold me close
And say three words like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles
Its all about you, yeah!
AND HOLD IT TIGHT

Christmas pouts
Monday, December 26, 2005
happy holidays everyone, i hope you all had a merry christmas. i really enjoyed christmas this year. no family to divide our time and no roommates to crash our plans (k and j not included, our x mas with them was grand). a quiet morning just the two of us.
but this is where my pouts come in. we went to church where once again i somehow did too much and almost fainted. i understood that i had done too much too soon when i tried to go to work. i was on my feet and dealing with customers. but this time all i did was sit on a bench and listen to the minister. after church we came home where john put me straight to bed. we spent the afternoon at my father's for dinner. we had a really good time, or at least what i was awake for. it's been three weeks since my operation and i still can't do up my own jacket, open a can of soup, type two handed, hold my cats, or go to work. i can't help but think, though, if i had more to do or more people to just visit my healing might be going a bit faster. the only place i have to go now is to the mail box 1.5 blocks away, and the only person i have to speak to is my husband. don't get me wrong i'm still deeply in love with him,and i really enjoy his company still. sometimes, however, a person needs more then one person to speak to. anyway that's enough of me feeling sorry for myself. i know things could have gone much worse. corry's man, her son and my other nephew all had the flu over christmas. plus since this tiny rumor got out that we may be moving back, tons of our friends have told us how much they can't wait to see us again. it really warms our hearts to hear how much we're wanted.

OUCHIE!

please forgive my grammar this time. i'm only one handed and can't reach some of the keys properly. surgery went alright, the tumor was bigger then the x rays showed so the dr. had to harvest bone from two places, one in my wrist and the other my hip. two weeks later my hand is still bruised, my thumb still looks like the goodyear blimp, and everything smells like stinky cheese but my dr. says everything looks good.
i've spent the last two weeks painting x mas ornaments for gifts as it's the only thing i've learned how to do one handed. it's amazing how much i took for granted until i lost use of one hand, then i really learned to appreciate what i had. the other day i tried opening a can of "easy open" soup and it exploded on me. guess it's only "easy open" if you have two hands. john and i bought eachother a ps2 for x mas (an idea we got from some really good friends). when i want to give john a good laugh, i play. then we count how many ways i can die because i can't use my left hand, or we see how many creative ways i can survive longer.
i was supposed to go back to work last monday but i didn't have enough tylenol 3 to last that long. i knew that my first days back would be tough and that i'd need some then so i stopped taking the tylenol over the weekend. i ended up in so much pain that i couldn't go to work on monday at all. so i got a new prescription yesterday and went back to work. i was so excited to finally get out of the house and start contributing to the family again. but i didn't last an hour before i fainted in front of a customer. guess i pushed myself too fast and ended up doing too much, too soon. so now i'm not working again till after x mas, how depressing.
but even after all that, my life doesn't seem so bad. i have an amazing husband who has done nothing but wait on me hand and foot. he never complains when i ask for his help. an awesome family and great friends. a roof over my head, which is more then a lot of people in this world. and I'm spending a part of x mas with my father which i haven't done in almost 20 years. (this should be really interesting!)

No title just chatter.
Saturday, December 03, 2005
This last week has gone by so fast that I can't believe that it's Saturday already. Because I Have to take time off starting next week and when I get back I'm not going to be able to care for the animals at work, my bosses had to train a new girl. Which meant that I was at the till all week as "Head Cashier". The title sounds good but it doesn't come with a raise like one could hope. I went for my pre-op. appointment on Thursday where I found out that bone graft I'm having done in my hand is not day surgery, there's a hospital stay. The nurse tried to tell me the John couldn't stay the night. He'd have to go home after visiting hours. I laughed and told her to try getting him out. I'm scared of this as it is without being told my husband isn't welcome.
