A mouse designed by a government agency. He thought that was hilarious, and then when he said goodbye, told me to enjoy my "nice little comfortable government job." I told him I'd be happy to pass his sentiments on to all my friends at the IRS. No, I didn't, but I wanted to!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>MarilynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348238.post-18563062187337659422007-11-27T17:33:00.000-06:002007-11-27T17:33:00.000-06:00By the time I read your blog you had responded to ...By the time I read your blog you had responded to tasina and sounded so much more relaxed --- hang in there --- you are loved and prayed for.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14800220805290554359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348238.post-66837335752648729122007-11-27T17:25:00.000-06:002007-11-27T17:25:00.000-06:00Thanks for your kind words.Amazingly, Zach seems t...Thanks for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>Amazingly, Zach seems to be recovering as fast as he got sick. He has a new girlfriend, so is really anxious to get back to school.<BR/><BR/>I cannot believe I am having to make him stay home another day. That is very unusual for him...<BR/><BR/>Tasina -- I love that joke. And that is just how it feels. Today the dryer mysteriously stopped working -- I still don't know why and haven't had time to check it out...then my Suburban was balky about starting...<BR/><BR/>But it started, and passed it's emissions testing no problem. Then Mom and I went to Kohl's and did a little Christmas shopping, plus I found two new rugs for my kitchen.<BR/>And we went to lunch at Applebee's, so it was a very nice break from the insanity.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546701275844134990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348238.post-25878571264243469992007-11-27T12:26:00.000-06:002007-11-27T12:26:00.000-06:00I know how you're feeling. The past month (and ev...I know how you're feeling. The past month (and even back to spring, really) has been horrible for our family. My injury, a death, and another injury all happened within 5 days. You start to wonder if there is some kind of target painted on your head or back or something. I once heard this joke:<BR/><BR/>This guy gets up and goes to work and finds out he's fired. On the way home he gets a flat tire and gets all dirty changing it. When he gets to his house, he accidentally runs over his own dog. He gets inside and catches his wife with the neighbor. She announces that she is leaving him and taking the kids and all his money. In an act of utter despair, the man throws himself on his knees and screams, "Why God??? Why are you doing this to me???" A deep booming voice answers, "I don't know...something about you just pisses me off."<BR/><BR/>I know that's how it feels. The only way I've gotten through all this without going utterly insane (or picking up the smokes again) is just appreciate as much as I can. My accident WAS horrible - but it's just my knee when it could have been my back, neck, or head. The death was really horrible, but the person is no longer in pain. <BR/><BR/>I feel so bad for Zach. How scary for him and you. But think how capable you are to nurse and help all these people/pets. They wouldn't all turn to you if you weren't always there for them. People like you get special needs pets because people like ME can't handle it. You can do it.<BR/><BR/>Wow - this is an obnoxiously long comment. What a shameless attempt on my part to get some home-made flannel pajama bottoms, huh?<BR/><BR/>:)Tasinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01650262732996803939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7348238.post-86661546342683687562007-11-27T09:29:00.000-06:002007-11-27T09:29:00.000-06:00Dontcha just hate when it all goes wrong at once? ...Dontcha just hate when it all goes wrong at once?
