I should probably be taking a nap right now, not playing on the computer. The kids are in quiet time and this is likely to be the only chance I have today to catch up a little on my sleep…
I should also probably be emailing the pdoc, letting her know that R is having LOTS of trouble […]

Happy (belated) Christmas!
We’re still here, it’s just been such a busy week that I haven’t had time to post.
Thank you to everyone for the good thoughts, prayers, and sympathy over the loss of R’s horse Grant. He was a very special horse, and R and I both miss him terribly. R is hanging in there, but […]

Grant
Beloved horse, devoted friend and teacher
1985-2007
Grant went down with colic late yesterday afternoon. The vet did all he could, working on him last night and again this morning. Unfortunately, Grant quickly became gravely ill. He died just after noon today.
He will be missed terribly…

…. what’s going on with the BCAA. Ok, my sister wants to know (but she has an inquiring mind…) so I thought I’d post a quick update, just in case anyone else is wondering.
M’s pediatrician is still researching the BCAA. I should hear back from her today or tomorrow. She thought it would probably be […]

After living for so long in the city, having a dozen neighbors within just a couple of minutes of us, it’s been different getting used to our nearest neighbor being a good 5-10 minute walk away.
I don’t mind… I like not hearing the neighbor’s TV when the windows are open during the summer, or not being able to park […]

**warning**
If you are tired of reading about schizophrenia, psychiatrists and/or ECT you might as well stop reading now. Scroll down (or click here) and peek at my Christmas tour instead, or go check out my siblings blogs… here, here, or here. They never talk about stuff like this.
******************************************************************
Well, despite all my “screaming” about ECT, and about […]

It’s a beautiful snowy day here… It snowed hard for most of the morning, although it seems to have stopped now.
I spoke to Granny on the phone this morning and she asked if we’d gotten the house decorated for Christmas yet… We don’t do a lot of decorating, but since neither she nor my brother Steve […]

I took pictures yesterday for our Christmas cards (yes, I’m seriously behind!) and I think they turned out great. The backyards was still snowy and pretty, but it wasn’t as bitter cold as it had been on Saturday, so I set up my “tripod” (a six foot step ladder) and went to work…
I decided to […]

The day is almost over. The kids are in bed, the dogs are asleep at my feet…the house is quiet, and the fire is burning down to coals.
It’s a balmy 75 degrees in here (thanks to the “blazing inferno” I’ve kept going in the fireplace all afternoon), but outside it’s cold and wet.
The clouds outside […]

Yesterday was such an awesome day (I wonder…. have we been having better days than usual lately, or am I just appreciating them more because of the uncertainty of things with M?)
Anyway…. it was a great day.
I worked out in the barn, and got everything cleaned up and looking good. There is a pretty good […]
