I am sorry to hear she is sick. I hope she feels better. I am sure she will be happy to have your chicken soup. Smile

Did you leave the windows open, Rocky? Forget to put insulation in the walls?

@Rockhead,
Yes, JTT lives in a fabulous, utopian country, where it does not get cold.

And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs

anyways...

enough bullshit.

bubba has apparently learned a valuable kitty lesson that I been tellin' her for 2 months. watch your tail, bubba, you're gonna catch it on fire silly...

yup.

dunno when. real sure how...

big scorched swath of hair and some skin. about 2 inches from her tuckus...

looks painful. I think Ima put some neosporin on it...

amazingly, she has not cried. and she used to cry about everything. I think she's afraid she's going back outside.

I haven't decided that yet...

we are covered in a thin layer of white crap.

it started before I got home from all my errands last night in the truck with no heat. got kinda hairy when the snow came before expectations...

got wood. mostly dry even...

making a list for wednesday when my check will be here. dairy free stuff will be high on said list. taking legitimate suggestions...

'posed to warm up some tomorrow. if it does, Ima do heater core surgery.

my new doctor is kinda weird. mostly he just prints me off information that I coulda gone and read (and sometimes already have) on the net.

but I kinda like him. so far he's better than the last one, even though he has never touched nor examined me.

we just talk. and I pay. kinda like a lawyer. but not quite as expensive. nor effective...

anyways, he gave me two different sites for migraines. one Mayo, and one in the UK. and they are almost identical, except for where they deal with caffeine.

Mayo wants it eliminated as much as possible, while the brits suggest I attempt to limit myself to 3 cups of tea a day...

I am splitting the difference, and keeping my morning cuppa until further notice...

@Rockhead,
I've never had to stoke a woodstove three times in one night, Rocky, in some damn cold temps.

@Rockhead,
Well the crazy thing about caffeine is that sometimes it can help a headache and apparently there are times where it can trigger a migraine. I think you kind of have to keep a diary of what you were doing, what you had eaten, what time of day, etc - when you have the migraine. I had to do it for myself and one of the twinks because of ours just so we could see if we could locate the trigger.

Poor Bubba. I am sorry she burned her little tail. I guess maybe she learned a lesson. I hope so. Poor kitty.

Ugh. Long Monday. Such a stressful week this week. I'll muddle through.

Glad to see you are at the dr's. Hoping that you continue to feel betterer and betterer.

Yup, I have, Rocky, but what's all the talk about homeless. I've been reading about your home for some time.

I have a sore throat. Crud. Stupid weather.

I wish it would make up its mind. Be warm or be cold - but the going back and forth is prissing me off.
