Category: Irritating Things

{Take the 100 Things challenge!} I’m gonna do this. Kittiboi, the partner-in-crime, has had to do a journal entry every day as part of his English class and it’s hard, but I think it’s good for him. I think the idea of writing something substantial nearly every day will be good for me, too. I [...]

I picked my cat’s ashes up from the vet today.  Brought her home. Put her box-shaped container under the urn that contains one of my other cats. I really regret that I didn’t have this done for Sa’am when I had to have him put down. The situation was overwhelming. It was the first time [...]

Suffering for Art. Well, not quite art but crafts and they’re commonly grouped together. My shoulder still hurts. I did eventually go to the Prompt Care place and got some extra strength pain killers. They don’t actually kill the pain, but they do bring it down from an 8 or 9 to a 5 or [...]

Shoulder: still hurts. Saw doctor. Said “It hurts when I do this.” He said “Oh.” Sense of humour is not strong in that one. Anyhow. I have a referral to see an orthopedic surgeon for a cortisone injection. … in December…. Like, a month from now. For what will probably be a 15 minute visit [...]
