Okay, this absolutely sucks ~ now I can't QUIT crying...(sigh)

this will make you smile ~

This is a wonderful video ~ I just wish I knew why it made me and my heart smile that it also made me cry my head off.... it touched me and made me hopeful, hope it does the same to you ~ a friend sent me the link in a email... thank you Carolyn.

 

another update :)

    

Good afternoon everyone ~
Update time for Heathen, he's such a sweetheart and I love him to dickens.  He's in a much better mood today and is trying to "walk" around more. His poor back legs are wanting to go everywhere, it's almost like he's walking on ice or something you know?  Despite the fact he has his diabetes and it is being controlled thru his diet, he wasn't eating his food, so I went to the store and got a couple cans of canned cat food and he gobbled that right up now if I can get him to drink more water!!  He's drinking but not enough I don't think.  He's giving the boys hell ROFL  he's not in the mood for their roughness and he's letting them know believe me.  I'm very proud of him.  Keep him in the prayers though ok?  he's not in the safe zone quite yet. 
It was really strange last night, I was dreaming and all of a sudden there was this gentle woman's voice saying "Teresa" a few minutes later it came through again "Teresa" never heard the voice before in my life but i woke up, went and checked on Heathen, he had gotten himself tangled up in a cord from the window blind!  So I fixed the window blind cord where he couldn't do that again, changed his diaper and went back to bed.  Is that not weird???  I think it was The Goddess getting my attention... I'd been throwing mantra's out there like crazy...She's watching out for my Baby
Cindy is apparently having a rough day at work, she called about 45 minutes ago and asked me to put 2 wine coolers in the freezer for her ~ she rarely drinks during the week or at all really.  She'll tell me when she's on her way home.
I think I'm going to bake some fresh Cod for dinner (lemon's, mushrooms, butter, white wine and fresh chopped dill) ~ salad and something else to go with it.  Not sure what.
Heading out now.
Hugz and Blessings** to all of you.

Heathen report ~ lol

                    

Thank you very much for all the wishes, blessings, prayers etc. for Heathen first of all.  It means quite a bit to me.
He seems to be ok ~ he is urinating enough I think to keep him safe, it helps that I massage his bladder etc.  his poor back legs are all out of sorts.. I'm going to keep praying, loving him & trying hard not to worry so much. Cindy says to just let it be beyond the general support I give him, that he will figure it out on his own.  I hope so.  Went and picked up the new dosage of Prednisone for him this morning on the way to work so at least I have that.
Damn it's been hot the past few days...yesterday it was 107 degrees, the day before that 103 degrees, the only thing that is saving my rear end is the fact the humidity is only at 53 percent. can we say ughhhhhh!!!
I cooked yesterday but I'm not tonight, it makes the house too warm with the oven on, so I'm making a chicken salad and we will have sandwiches for dinner. 
The weird mood at work is still going on, I don't know what's wrong with everyone.  It makes it a very uncomfortable place to work at but I'm not going to let it get to me, just do my job the best I can & go home.  Thank the Goddess I'm only on lunch shift, couldn't stand it with the jackasses that work at night.
My mind just went "blank" I hate it when it does that LOL.  It's my disassociation problems trying to raise it's ugly little head.  Those disassociation problems lead to those little things called panic attacks. ewwww.
I guess I will go for now, it will be useless to write now cuz all it will be is rambling with no sense whatsoever.
Hugz and Blessings*

talked to the Vet

  

 Wanted to let who cares to know (which have been most of you <smile>)that I talked to the vet a few minutes ago and She said to just continue with the prednisone twice a day, to palpitate his bladder to help him urinate, try to encourage him to eat (with his diabetes on top of this not eating is a bad thing) and that it was ok to use baby ointment on him to help with the rash he's gotten from wearing a diaper. Told her that I didn't think he was in very much pain, that he was purring still (just not as loudly) and seemed to have pretty good spirits.
 
My heart is heavy and I'm so very worried about him, I want to hover over him but I can't. 
Blessings*

Heathen update

                  

 

Good Morning all ~
Not a good night for Heathen or I   I'm really worried about him.  Yesterday he went and jumped the baby gate that's at the entrance to the hallway (going back to the back bedrooms & offices) we keep the gate up most of the time to keep the boys from going back there (Lares is absolutely fascinated by Kizmet my other baby & is always wanting to check her out, in a nice way of course but Kizmet doesn't know that ). Anyway, usually I can catch him and just take down the gate before he does it to keep him from putting pressure on his back and hips, but I didn't hear him  because I was cooking dinner and he jumped and I think he pulled something again.  He hasn't urinated since after that happened (about 4ish) yesterday and he's been very quiet (still purring of course when I talk to him) and he's favoring his back end quite a bit...he laid down in the bathroom all night next to his water bowl.. he is drinking but not eating...his food from 6ish yesterday is still there.  I got up and 2 a.m. to check on him and gave him another prednisone, will be giving him another one about 8 a.m. but right now what I want him to do is PEE!!  I couldn't sleep really last night because I was  so worried about him ~  Cindy says I need to quit giving him his catnip cuz that stuff makes him feel like he's 10 foot tall and    bulletproof   (which it does)  he's super kitty when he has his catnip.  I will be calling the vet later this morning once they open to get the vet to call me back so I can ask her what to do.  Besides I need more prednisone anyway.  I have no idea what to do...(sigh) I told Cindy I'd rather have a incontinent Heathen than a Heathen that isn't here anymore, I can take care of the incontinence, I can't take care of permanent "buh bye"  as I've said before my heart would break.  And yes I know I don't hold the market on people's love for their own furrybabies...but I'm not talking about other's ~ I'm talking about Heathen and I.  Heathen is people to me and always will be.
So please (I know I keep asking this) more prayers/blessings etc. for my Heathen?  Thank you.

venting, vente' ~

Debating whether to write or not to write, I feel the "itch" to do so yet I don't?  does that make any sense?  I can understand if it doesn't, believe me.
Yesterday it was in the lower 100's as far as temperature is concerned, didn't think it would ever start to cool  down...that "100's" mentioned is not including the humidity factor! can we say Ms. Teresa was a tad grumpy??? lol.
Cindy took me out for Chinese buffet last night, it was so sweet of her (she hates Chinese food) I LOVE it.. before she and I became a couple I ate Chinese at least once a week yummy.  Wish I could cook it at home more often (or at all LOL) problem with that is 1.  no grocery store around here that has the ingredients that I would need beyond said soy sauce, sesame oil etc. etc. generalities. 2. Cindy doesn't like the stuff. (sigh).  Her taking me out for Chinese was a tradeoff because she had wanted to go eat Mexican food (a food I hate <yuck> sorry Amy hon) I don't just hate Mexican food, it hates ME and I'm not really crazy about the flavors inherent in Mexican food either (Mexican to me includes "Tex Mex" or anything therein) Seafood (not all battered and fried and the flavor drowned in grease, though I do like fried catfish ), Italian, Chinese, English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh foods, Cuban,  Southern/Homecooking etc.  I think I'm going to be wondering about the net looking for Puerto Rican recipes!!  I've heard good things about that genre' of food..will check it out.
 
Work lately has been becoming a lot more stressful, the tension that is there is amazing... I'm not sure why - it's almost like everyone is miserable (I'm not on the most part except when people don't do their JOBS then I get stressed) it's been slower I do know that, same ol' same ol' nice office ladies that run you in the ground at lunch run up tabs and leave you a buck and say "the change is for you sweetie, for all the hard work you did for us"  I want to shove that said buck up the "nice ladies" left nostril grrrrrrr.  This  couple came in this past week, ran up a $60 tab, paid with a $100 bill and left me $2 ~ I certainly assisted with the payment of their lunch via my taxes I have to pay in to the wonderful government. Not to mention I again, ran my ass off for them.  I HATE people like that!!!  Readers?? TEACH YOUR KIDS THE PROPER ETIQUETTE OF DINING OUT AND TIPPING PRACTICES!! if YOU don't know? look it up on the internet   I mean, do YOU like being stiffed on your paychecks?  well, that's what it's like to me & other servers.
 
Yesterday I had to stop by this one grocery store on the way home (they had a great deal on butter LOL & thick sliced bacon) there was this "sweet" little old man sitting at the inside entrance to the store selling the local paper... o.k.  I hate the local paper, it's extremely conservative and the churches in this area have most of the town government & members thereof in their back pockets (can we say "separation" of church and state people? it's a oxymoron in this part of the country) so what's written is very rarely the complete truth.  Yes, there are some sweet articles occasionally BUT sheesh.  Anyway, he proceeds to talk me into a subscription to this said paper... I was being polite by listening to his speel, but the man wouldn't let me go! he kept harping and harping and I smiled and listened...finally he asked me one more time, would you like the paper?  I was fed up by this point and said "no, I would not like your paper"  he said, "why not?" ~~ I said "because your paper is too conservative, biased and you practice censorship at a alarming rate" (which they do)~ he said very disapprovingly "well, that's your choice" he was nasty about it... I said, yes.. it is, that's why I get the "so & so paper, they don't do it as badly as you do" and I said all of this very politely and nicely... he glared at me. I was in my head going "assh**e" grrrrrrr he probably goes the BIG church in town that has a copper dome that cost major bucks ~ gee I wonder how many homeless people that could have helped? hungry people fed? Women's Crisis centers helped? huh? huh? huh? puhleeze.
Dang I'm on a tear aren't I? LOL.
 
Waiting to see how many comments THIS entry gets ROFL.  Or the lack thereof (grinning).
And in spite of all my grumbling etc. I wish you all warm thoughts and Blessings galore**

Yackety yack yack

      

Good Morning everyone !
Update time ~
 
Heathen is staying about the same I guess you would call it.  He's still incontinent & still not lifting his tail or anything but I've noticed he seems to favor his left side over the right.  Not sure if that means a hill of beans or not but it's a observation.  His spirits are overall good, he's still eating well (most of the time), drinking water, loving his cat nip treats ROFL  that cat just LOVES his catnip.  He's still taking prednisone twice a day, he's through with his antibiotic's.  I'm bathing him twice a day just as the vet said...had to get medium doggy diapers for him, the small one's were not cutting it at all.  BUT just because he seems to be fine, don't forget your prayers/blessings etc. for my big man 'k?
 
As far as myself is concerned, work is work, blazing hot and humid.  Yesterday I got so hot my blood pressure soared, therein causing the most awful headache..I thought I was going to make friends with the floor on a intimate basis it was so bad, finally got home and stripped, put on loose cotton clothing and lay down for about an hour after taking some Advil... it helped.  Then I got up, cooked dinner (chicken breast tenderloins cooked in a butter garlic sauce, parslied red bliss potatoes and green beans), did a couple loads of laundry, some other chores too.
 
Lares and Draco are doing well ~ as I've mentioned previously they hate the heat as much as I do ( I think that's what it equates to in doggy terms LOL) but they love to go out once the sun goes down in their doggy run...Lares is always loping and bouncing off getting glimpses of rabbits and squirrels and probably skunks, opossums, raccoons as well.  There has been the past week and a half or so this HUGE owl out there, when I say HUGE I mean HUGE  lol ~ he flies between the trees and does wing dips at the dogs, like he is teasing them, he/she's a beautiful bird I think it might be a barn owl or somesuch.
The Mares in the area are dropping colts/fillies like crazy... even the donkeys are...beautiful creatures. One day I may even manage to REMEMBER to take my camera with me and take some photos of them, Cindy and I have even come along when one has just dropped - I mean these babies are so new that they are still damp and trying to stand!
In case you didn't know, but the ranchers keep donkeys (the females are called "jennies" and the male's "jacks") especially the females in their cattle or horse herds to keep coyotes and wildcats away...the female "jennies" will kill a coyote or wildcat because they adopt the "herd" the herd is their "family" and will protect them.  Isn't that neat?  I think so.
 
Okay, guess I will go for now...have a great weekend and be safe.
Blessings*

more updates

   

Hello again everyone !
All I can say about the weather in Texas is that it is HOT  beyond hot really, it's broiling ~ it got to 100 degrees yesterday with complete humidity and I believe it was that again today.  It's supposed to be that way throughout the week and most probably till September actually.  Thank Goddess for Air Conditioning I couldn't stand it otherwise...I'd be ill all the time, I've never dealt with heat well before and with getting older it's not any better. I can't wait for Autumn to get here.  I get repetitious about the weather don't I?  Sorry (shrug) merely how I feel lol.
Heathen ~ well, I'm supposed to take Heathen in for another  X-Ray this week, the vet thinks maybe he has some nerve damage in his lower spine, if not a ruptured or a disc that isn't where it should be.  He is still incontinent so I am having to put dog diapers on him, the poor man, he get's two baths a day (not all over just his lower body) his prednisone and antibiotics...he is raw (down below) from the urine (cat urine for those that don't know is extraordinarily potent stuff) I'd bathe him more but the vet said only twice a day.  I'm going to have to start putting neosporin on him and I worry terribly, I try not to think about negative parts of what is wrong with him, don't want to feed the energy that way.  So please, continue with your prayers etc. for my Baby?  I very much (and Heathen) appreciate them.
We had our new TV delivered day before yesterday with a really nice stand... it's a 60" Mitsubishi DLP HDTV... it's great and I can see the menu for the 1st time in ages without getting right up to it or with contacts in   Isn't that nice?? I think it is.  It's so vivid and sharp! (the picture that is LOL).
I'm in the process of cooking dinner ~ Bar B Que Pork Ribs with Pork Brisquit, Baked Beans (cooked nice and slow, both of them) and a salad.  Cindy's Pop says he'd marry me for those ribs LOL  because I cook them so nice and slow they always turn out melt in your mouth and off the bone wonderful.  That's what I'm told anyway, I'd the worst critic when it comes to my cooking.  I baked some bread on Saturday too.
Okay, I hope everyone is fine.  Have a great week...
Blessings* Teresa

hee hee hee  me again!  wanted to bring to your notice (awareness) that the "American Family Association" is currently unable to release their fascination with "homosexual" America.  Now they are attacking McDonalds for their stand on supporting gay and lesbian rights...

The "American Family Associations" views on Homosexuality and the "war".

                     

 

                                      VS

 

                                  

Here is the link to a article about said "boycott" ~ "AFA calls for boycott of McDonalds"

Who woulda figured that we (gay/lesbians) would be such a threat against Religious bigots?  what is it they fear?  their supposed belief that gays and lesbians are out to "corrupt" their youth? that, higher power forbid (Goddess in my case), we as citizens of this country should be allowed to, as couples, file our taxes together? that, as a couple, be able to claim our partners on our health insurance?  that we be allowed to have a voice in our partners healthcare? that we have a choice to be able to carry out our partners final wishes if it ever came to be?  that we could walk down the street holding handsand whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears without being verbally assaulted,  physically attacked, called "sicko's", "weirdos", appalling in the higher powers eyes? to be judged, rediculed, punished, jailed, fired from our jobs? etc. etc. etc.?  do you think your GOD (AFA's GOD) condones the hate, fear mongering, prejudice and ignorance that they extole the virtues of?  for some reason (call me silly) I don't think your (the AFA's again) would appreciate that ~ the higher power made each of us, there is a purpose for each of us and that higher power loves each and every one of us.  I could react with anger...initially I did feel anger, now what I feel is sadness, pity ~ yet I hold a wonder within myself the "why" of it.  Christianity is not the only religion out there, there are so many other beliefs out there ~ yours is not the only one.

Good Morning all ~

I'm sitting here at the computer at a quarter till 8 in the A.M. ~ didn't sleep well last night was up every couple hours, some of it was because of Heathen he was yowling a few times during the night, some of it was Cindy, her tummy has been bothering her for the past few nights and not sure why, she thinks it could be she is getting too hot during the day and it has been VERY hot the last couple of weeks here.  The weather man said last night that yesterday was the hottest day we've had this summer & that's saying alot.  It's miserable.  I'm waiting faithfully for Autumn and Winter to get here, will be sooooo happy when it does!

Heathen has been on his prednisone and antibiotics since Thursday and it seems to be helping him a bit, his spirits are better, he doesn't seem to be running a fever etc.  but he still is having trouble with his back legs and can't lift his tail yet, I hope it clears up soon I feel so bad for him, he's such a independent creature and he's frustrated and miserable. 

Thank you to all that have commented about my Baby ~ it means a lot to me that you care enough to do so.  Makes my heart happy and takes away some of my "cynic". 

Work has been kind of slow the past couple of weeks also, yesterday I was just ticked off in general (same ol', same ol') about laziness and just "don't give a damn" attitude prevelant in my co workers (not all mind you but the majority).

Cindy has it rough too and she doesn't work in air conditioning!  I feel for her so much and wish it weren't so for her ~ but it's her career and she will do what she can to progress with it.

Menopause and hot flashes have been setting in with a vengeance!!  ughhhhh I hate it!  but I will be very glad when I don't have my Moondays OR the Menopause to worry about  lol.  I'll be in my Crone stage of life once it's over with.  It's amazing throughout the history (patriarchal and A.D.) how much emphasis males (not all but enough of them) & through doing so created the same stigma within women themselves...that so much of a woman's value is based on her ability to bear children and once she can't anymore she's not worth as much?  WRONG ~ once you enter into Crone stage (after Menopause) you are stronger, you have less things tying you down, you are wise (most anyway)... there is SO much to be done still!! and you don't have to worry about your Moondays holding you back or all the crap that goes along with it.

Today Cindy and I are going to take her nephew to a indoor water park ~ I'm so not wearing a swimsuit lol ~ but those two will...I'll just take a book and read while I wait.  I hope it will be fun for them both ~ I'm in charge of the camera ROFL ~ that's scarey.

Going to go for now, everyone have a great rest of the weekend.

Blessings*

I just got through watching a movie on Showtime 2 called "Freedom Writers" ~ all I can say is I recommend it, a excellent, truly excellent movie, makes you think and realize there is always a struggle out there much larger than yours.  (blink) wow ~ now that's a thought isn't it? sometimes I think we sit in complacency and ignore things going on around us because they make us uncomfortable and take us out of our comfort zone.  Wake up and smell the roses... there is always a condition  out there worse than our own personal reality.  Check it out...here is a video from You Tube with one of the songs from the soundtrack, listen to the words... if I can, I'll find the lyrics and post them below the video for those that can't "hear" these words. Check into watching this movie...Hilary Swank stars in it.  ((((Indigo)))) Sistah dear...

Blessings*

 

 

 

A Dream

I am happy
I am I am happy
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[One day]
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
We gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[that one day]
that one day
all of the people and myself
are gonna find a better way
My dream is to be free
my dream is to be
my dream my dream is to be
my dream is to be
my dream is to be free

A search for brighter days
I ride through the maze of the madness
struggle is my address
where pain and crack lives
gunshots coming from sounds of blackness
given this game with no time to practice
born on the blacklist
told I'm a little average
A life with no cabbage
that's no money if you're from where I'm from
funny,
I just want some of yours son
dark clouds seem to follow me
alcohol that my pops swallowed bottle me
no apology
I walk with a boulder on my shoulder
it's a cold war
I'm a colder shoulder
I fight the same fight that made Martin Luther the king
I ain't usin' it for the right thing
in-Between lean and the fiends
hustle and the schemes
I put together pieces of a dream
I still have one

I am happy
I am I am happy
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[One day]
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
We gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[that one day]
that one day
I'ma look deeper than myself
are gonna find a better way
My dream is to be free
my dream is to be
my dream my dream is to be
my dream is to be
my dream is to be free

The world see me lookin' in the mirror
images of me gettin' much clearer
dear self,
I wrote a letter just to better my soul
if I don't express it,
then forever I hold inside
I'm from a side where we outta control
rap music and the hood play a fatherly role
my story like yours, yo, gotta be told
tryin' to make it from a gangsta to a Godlier role
and Jewish people in cold caves
hate has no color or age
flip the page
now my rage became freedom right
write dreams in the dark
they far, but I can see em
I believe in heaven more than hell
blessings more than jail
In the ghetto, let love prevail
with a story to tell
my eyes see the glory of, well,
the world waitin' for me to yell
I have a dream

I am happy
I am I am happy
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[One day]
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out oh oh
We gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
We gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out oh oh
we gonna work it out
[Soundclip: I have a dream]
I got a dream
[that one day]
that one day
all of the people and myself
are gonna find a better way
My dream is to be free
my dream is to be
my dream my dream is to be

I thought this was tooooooo funny LOL ~ but then I have a strange sense of humor at times...

Good Morning Everyone ~

Update on Heathen ~ well, apparently he really, REALLY irritated what was wrong with his hips originally!  on top of the irritation with that he now has a bladder infection, hence the "dribble" that won't stop.  I'm having to bathe him 3 times a day with a shampoo that you don't have to wash out ( just the rear portion of his body) which I can tell he finds totally yucky.  She put him on a very high dose of prednesone <spelling> and antibiotics, as well as something I have to give him once a day to help with his bowels (this since the muscles are all seized up & he can't himself) and did a full bloodwork panel.  Cost monetarily $200 ~ price paid?  relief for his Momma and priceless that it wasn't something life threatening. I will know more when the vet calls this morning with the results of his blood panel.  She was hesitant about the steroids because of his diabetes... we've been keeping that under control thru his diet and she worries about that changing and creating a opening to where he has to take insulin.  I really worry about that also because there have been quite a few cases where a pet has to start taking insulin and they become blind.  Please offer up prayers, blessings, good thoughts and positive energy towards my Baby.  Thank all of you that responded yesterday... it means a lot to me!

 I have a favor to ask all of you ~ This as most of you know is my Baby ~ Heathen.  Somehow or other a week ago Monday, he somehow twisted something in his lower back and since then he has not been able to move his rear legs correctly, or lift his tail... it has eased a little bit since this happened but not enough to stop it completely ~ he is having trouble urinating etc. and he wets himself... I'm really worried about him (he is 13 years old or so and a BIG boy 25 lbs. to be exact) I'm taking him to the vet this morning to get her to do something and help him, I've been giving him baby aspirin once every 72 hours and that seems to have helped a little bit but not nearly enough.  My heart would literally break if something happened to him, he's been my anchor for so many years now & has helped me when no one else was there to do so.  Other than Cindy he's my best friend and loves me.  Please send out a prayer or whatever it is you do that my little man will be ok.  Will let you know later the results of his vet's visit.  Hugz*

For Cindy ~ I love you Baby.....forever and beyond.

 

Sunday, July 6, 2008

I don't know how many people that read this journal have ever heard the Singer Pink's song called "Dear Mr. President" or not, it's a very, very deep song with complete truth in the lyrics - this is one of those song's that I listen to and I see in my head and I wonder how Mr. Bush can live in his skin.  I guess gross profits from the oil industry and other bullshit helps pave the way to a guilt free libido.  Some of you disagree with my feelings as far as Mr. Bush is concerned but I CAN tell you ~ there are far more people in this country and in the world as a whole that feel the same about him and his politics than the naysayers.  Again, my opinion, my journal ~ don't like it? that's your choice, whatever.

One note ~ or maybe two... I have never candy coated my political views nor my feelings towards this "man" in any way ~ I don't like him and I never have, nor any in his administration.  The second note ~ I LOVE this country, I am fiercely proud of it, I'm proud of our history, I support our country's  troops wholeheartedly... but, I hate & despise the way this country is being run into the ground and embarrassed throughout the world, not by everyone, but by enough of them. My Grandfather and his Father are rolling in their graves with what is going on (yes, they served in the military in a World War and the Korean too). A HUGE and heart felt THANK YOU!!!! to our troops here and overseas...come home to us safe.

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July and a happy one... safe too!! 

Blessings*
