I’ll cry if I want to

Went back to the neurologist on Monday, went over the results of the neuropsych test, blah, blah, blah.  Yes he thinks I should defintely go to counseling, but let’s try another antidpressant shall we?  Maybe this one (300 mg of Effexor) isn’t the right one for you.  Whatever.  (Which I’m starting to see that the [...]

Soooooo Whodunit?

The DNA results are back and J0hn Mark Carr didn’t have anything to do with J0n B0net Ramsey’s death.  What a shocker.  (sarcasm)  Too bad they couldn’t figure that out by doing a DNA test before they gave him a vacation to the United States.  Now maybe he can write a book and get enough [...]

I’ve changed the look on the blog…

to reflect my social isolation.  Living like a mole – that’s me.  (Not THAT kind of mole, the living breathing, head, tail, and 4 feet kind of mole!)

Neuropsych test results are in… And the winner is…

Depression and anxiety.  Apparently it was a tie!  I can hardly imagine that.  The test results show social isolation.  I agree with that, but maybe I don’t feel social.  I guess I don’t feel social because I’m depressed and anxious, which cause me to not feel sicial… Can anybody see a pattern here?

Weekend from hell

Buttercup is doing much better.  Steve took her to the vet yesterday and she got some prednisone and appears to be much better.  He thinks it’s probably a soft tissue injury and not her spine.  Thank goodness.  I feel so much better and thankful to all my friends on Lovedachs and Dodgerslist for their prayers [...]

Seriously, the other side of the coin.

Now that I’ve had my say about my furbaby, I need to address something even more serious.  I have a blogging friend, Erin, who has lost two children to congenital heart defects (CHD).  I cannot even fathom how this woman manages to function on a day to day basis, but by God, she does.  She [...]

IVDD, dachshunds, and puppy love

Don’t bother to read this if you’re not a pet lover.  I don’t want to hear, “It’s just a dog” or any other similar stupid things. My Buttercup is having a serious problem and I’m a wreck.

We’ll add another branch to the family tree..

My nephew and his girlfriend are expecting a baby.  Hmmm.  Should I add exlamation marks after that?  If anyone in the family was going to do it, it was going to be Tony!   I don’t know what to think actually.  I’ve only met Candace (I hope I’m spelling that right) for a short [...]

In the news – J0n Benet

When I first heard the news the other day that the alleged killer of J0n Benet Ramsey had been caught, I was really surprised – and glad that my initial suspicions had been wrong.  Now it looks as thought maybe this isn’t the real thing.  I’m really curious to see what the DNA tests show, but [...]

No thanks, I’ll pass

I just read this article about a death row inmate who donated a kidney.  I really dont’ know if I’d want the thing, frankly.  Granted, I’m not dying of kidney disease and don’t have to make such a choice, but if I was, I really don’t think I’d take the guy up on the offier.  [...]
