Surgery went fine

Snoopy's (my cats) dental surgery went fine. He was more upset about not getting his breakfast this morning than anything else I think! He's groggy but home. I on the other hand have a nasty head cold, so I didn't get much of anything accomplished today.

Boro did not happen

“One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.” - Lucille Ball

Today was a quiet day here, I have a nasty head cold. I had forgotten how hard it is to torch when it feels like your head is in a bucket. I has planned on tackling boro, on my own today but alas it did not happen. I spent two weeks playing with boro on and off when I was in Washington and am really taken with it. I did manage to add another kiln schedule for boro, I think, it’s doing a trail run as I type this!

The cat and I spent a good portion of the day reclined with a book. He has dental surgery tomorrow, some how me managed to sheer off both canines on his right side. Needless to say he’s uncomfortable and the vet is going to fix all that up tomorrow. Seeing him in pain stresses me out, I’ll admit. He’s my buddy and I hate to see him uncomfortable.

So tomorrow send him some healing vibes, and me some “go get em” vibes, for if my head clears I’m tackling boro!

Digitalis

Digitalis is a new set in my etsy shop. This is still one of my favorite twisties. I love the color combo's you get out of it!

Brave he is not!

Poor Eazy he's been going through the same trauma every night for three days now. He is not a brave old man. He can chase down a cow doing mach 90 but if a scary plastic play ball is in his gateway the sky MUST be falling!

This is the cause of all his grief and angst! This rather terrifying play ball has been sitting by his gateway for three days, he has to walk by it twice a day to get into and out of the pasture, and I figure eventually he'll have to get over his fear?

Friends

“Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”

Today I am stealing a quote from Andrea G's blog. I don't feel forgotten today but I sure do miss having friends close by. I miss the days of sharing a bottle of wine on the deck in the late day sun. I miss the laughter over silly, silly things. I miss the trail rides all deck up in holiday cheer (Maggie).

Today is a day of getting older for me, a birthday. A bit of a melancholy one, I find myself thinking of friends I miss. Some moved, some passed away and some living in other cities. Wishing I had a time machine so I could visit you all.

New bead!
