I had a drain once not very comfortable so know what you mean when you say you're a lot happier moving around now. As for 'my baby' well my son is 30 and if I creep in late at night (like they used to try) he will call out 'night mum' just to let me know he has waited up for me!!! So yes they do try to reverse the parent role as they get older ;-))

I am feeling very happy today, I woke up feeling good, do to have to work, well have the house work but I dont count that, and the sun is not even shining! ;-))

I had the wound drain taken out this afternoon - that really was causing me a lot of discomfort. I'm a lot happier moving around now!

RC - my 'baby' is 38 and yes, she still is my 'baby'. Somehow she's gotten the idea that she's my mother though! You may still have that to come!

Yesterday was a beautiful day in NE Ohio. Eighty degrees and lots of sun. I was able to walk 5 miles on the O&E Towpath after work. An old man fishing in the canal said "Kinda hot for walking" and I said "But won't we miss it when its gone." I saw a magnificent blue heron glide low over the river and my heart flew with him.
    When I got home my wife, the beautiful Christina, my Immortal Beloved, had prepared a feast of low-carb pasta and homemade sauce with hot Italian Sausage. Then we watched "Other Peoples' Lives"(the movie, of course, not really other peoples' lives). I highly recommend it.
    Today I am still stuck at work, but it's another gorgeous day out there waiting for me when I get off at 4.

Just talked to the vet's office and after a night there with a catheter in to remove a urinary tract blockage I can go pick up my kitty this afternoon. I can't express how relieved I am as a friend's cat died from the same problem a year ago, although admittedly her cat was a bit older than mine. I can't wait to go home and snuggle up in the comfy chair with him.

I'm making chocolate cake too!!

I'm also making a fuss of Raven kitty who, as you may have seen on the crabby thread, vanished yesterday. We didn't see him for about 24 hours but he turned up this morning just after 7.00am, which makes me think he was being nosey 3 doors down and got shut in when the builders left last night. They start at 7am and he showed up here at about 10 minutes past...

He's been asleep in the sunny window ever since, so I suspect he had a rough night!

So I'm a happy bunny again.

After a rocky start, finding that my Family History CDRom appears to have dumped all my family trees, (that's over 800 people and 300 years of history), I may have discovered where a lost relative and his families ended up, by looking for someone completely different!

I'm hoping the disc problems is just upgrades not recognising the programme, but you may well see a thread titled 'what made you crabby today' coming later!

I went to the Police Station and filed a report on the accident which wrote my car off on 3rd Sept, and from which I have whiplash, i.e. muscles in neck, shoulder, left arm, lower & middle back are sore.

I needed to file the report to claim some insurance to pay for treatment, but the up side is that, in Oz, if someone is injured in a crash then the driver in the wrong could be investigated by the Police. I'm hoping he gets charged for something like negligent driving. But at least he doesn't get to just mouth platitudes at me: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience". Hopefully he'll be given a hard time, at least.

I've had to walk to station/catch train/walk from station to and from work, making a half hour trip into an hour's "inconvenience" each way. And the insurance on my car will never pay for a car as good as that one. I bought it from my Dad who had it for about 8 years. He's a motor mechanic so he had it running like a dream. It would have stayed on the road, stayed as reliable as ever, for at least another 10 years. It wasn't "just another car". It was a family heirloom. Sentimental value.

So, at least I get the satisfaction of knowing that there is a police report on the other driver, and that it is now rated as a major motor accident.

A screwed up sort of happiness, of the what-goes-around-comes-around variety, but I feel better emotionally now than I did when I woke up this morning.

Oh, ok, happy birthday,Liz.

   Wishing you well kendall and jeff - all? your teeth, my commiserations.

   Yesterday's today is today's yesterday - had tea/coffee with a younf polish woman from work, met a fellow astrloger, found a performance of Mahler 1 that I didn't know about and nor does the Mahler discography compiler, enjoyed the summer/autumn sunshine, found some beat jokes in a book I found ("I've Taken a Page in the Bible!" compiled by the late Alfred Marks" - see latest joke thread for an example); had lors of laughs with a current brilliant improvised beeb show Mock the Week.

And finished watching young performers at the Proms - national Youth orchestra of Great Britain, European Community Youth Orchestra.

Above all, the wonderful, awe-inspiring Simon Bolivar youth Orchestra of venezuela. They are the product a la sistem (?) where street children who've fallen into crime are given the choice of prison or intennsive music study leading to orchestral plating.

the results are stunning - they play terrifically, have a gifted young conductor,Gustavo Dudamel, (who's now to be the next director of the L.A. Philharmonic), and played some items in spectacular and colourful (to say the very least) outfits, swayed in their chairs some of the time, danced about too, twirled instruments, and generally brought the house down.

now if more concerts were done like that,.................

Slept good.
