Thanks so much for the link to my blog from How to Cope with Pain, who made this original photojournal challenge. April 5: Happiness is…a warm kitten sleeping on your lap. Yes, our family has two new members.  After my mom brought home a tiny calico kitten, it was decided that she was “lonely” and needed an age-appropriate playmate, as our adult cats weren’t too fond of her.  So we went back to the house to pick up another kitten.  Since the calico is my mom’s, this is my kitten, so I would like to introduce to you “Ike,” named after the nickname of President DwightRead More →

I’m going to start photo-journaling as a challenge from How to Cope with Pain to do something enjoyable every day, but also as a way to share some of the everyday life with chronic pain.  The times when life is normal instead of just the times when it isn’t. Pictures from the past few days… April 1: Maigee wearing the “cone of shame” after I gave her monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventative.  She is known to lick the flea/tick treatment, so has to wear a cone while it dries.  April 2: Found some fresh onions in the garden today while weeding and decided to make a childhood favoriteRead More →

One of my favorite blogs to follow, How to Cope with Pain, has started a new challenge for March. The goal is to post 3 things you are thankful for each day, so here are mine for the past two days. March 1: I had a wonderful visit with a college friend yesterday. The weather yesterday was gorgeous! I have an amazing dog. Maigee and Me March 2: My dad brought home ice cream for a special treat.

1. Bugs are really, really fun, but you have to watch for the stinkers and the stingers. 2. Car rides mean fun smells. 3. Amber thinks she can sing, she can’t, but she still tries in the car. 4. Might as well settle down and take a nap at the bookstore, Amber will be there forever. 5. Drinking lots of water right before bed means that Amber will be half coherent when letting me out at 3:00 a.m. 6. Cats are fun until they just lay there doing nothing, but rabbits scratch back. 7. Guinea Pigs serve no purpose other than to make interesting squeakyRead More →

This has been a very, very long week. I’m exhausted. Homework has been heavy and intense, though I feel like I’ve finally caught up, and even got ahead on my Chemistry homework thanks to a boring trip to the ER (I’m fine, I think). I had forgotten to pack my pills, so my parents made a special trip to bring them to me Saturday (4 hours round-trip, thanks so much!). When they came, they brought my dog with them, which made me so happy. We drove around the village my college is in and around the lake near the college. It was so good toRead More →
