Well, this week has been different. Theo got better but on Sunday Lucy started hacking and I assumed that she had a hairball that she was choking back down. Then she stopped eating and drinking and hid, mostly under the bed where I could hear her gag all night. By Tuesday, I was very concerned…

Real life has gotten a lot busier now. Classes begin tomorrow, and the new graduate students came in last week for advising and orientation. I have to say that I’m impressed with them so far. I love my job, as I say often! A large part is due to my co-workers, who have great personalities,…

Because I’m out of coffee and I need caffeine just to get out the door. On a morning like this, having awakened to still more terrible news in the world, it’s important that I stay positive about my corner of the world and what I can do to make it better. In the past several…

First, a Miz Jazz report. I forgot about her possible hyperthyroidism. The vet probably missed it when she was talking to us. It may be a good thing in a way because it would keep her appetite up. The fluids absolutely definitely help and I’m glad that Sandy was talked into it. He was basing…

Angst alert – there will be much of it in today’s post. I just fired up another pot of coffee. Sandy scheduled an appointment at the vet for Miss Jazz’s euthanasia at 10:30 this morning. It is now 8:00. Yesterday and the night before I moaned and cried because I was so sure of the…

I keep trying to write this but it’s tough – Miss Jazz really needs to be euthanized. Both Sandy and I know it, but Sandy isn’t ready yet. Just as he knew it with Squirt but I wasn’t ready yet. So I’m trying hard to be compassionate to them both. But the pain medication that…

Ah, a sweet comment from Albie Smith. What a wonderful way to start a Saturday. So many things have happened this week. After I posted on Sunday, I messed around with my woodcuts and used my printing register for the first time. The two new proofs (Jake and a Spannocchia scene) were not to my…

Just to let you know that I’m still around…a very short post. A very frustrated and depressed post, but I’m trying. Last night was a bad one with my hands. A lot of numbness, and that disrupts my sleep. Plus, I’ve started getting these frequent muscle twitches in my neck – not painful, but disconcerting.…

Ah, me. The hands situation is worse. I am very depressed. I made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor for April 27. In the meantime, I’m going to try to get a few more books put together this weekend to take with me when we go to the lake later this week, where I’ll try…

Thanks for your support, as always, my readers rock. I slept without my brace last night and slept well without numbness. Both hands were sore and stiff but quickly came back to normal this morning so I’m going to try to make a post of handmade paper this afternoon when it gets a little warmer…
