Anyway, while I was reading my international politics and Michigan history books to try to catch up Naked Furniture in Ann Arbor calls to tell me that my custom built book shelves have been completed. This was a pleasant, yet expensive surprise. It's been cold as hell and it took several days for me to shovel out my driveway...but at least I lost a pound! Icicles are about 5 foot long hanging off the house.
It's been especially tough this week since by dear sweetie has taken a business trip to Tampa. Thank goodness she will be back soon!!! SMOOCH! Hopefully I will remember to record Burn Notice for her tonight!
My mother now has new lights and a nice powerful new door bell to help her see and hear when she has visitors. Also her dog Sam responded to medication for a compacted spinal injury the day before we were going to put him down. He couldn't even get up. The medicine seemed to be making him worse. Now he has a lot more energy and he can indeed get up on his own, so although it is expensive to treat a dog, at least he is not hurting so much now.
Like most of you, I am feeling a fair amount of optimism lately since the dreadful Bush regime has finally come to an end!
