Ok, this is all about Sebastian! Tuesday night I noticed a rather large (ok baseball sized) mass on the right side of his neck. So, Wednesday we rushed him to our vets office. She examined him and said it was an abscess and she needed to drain it. That meant he had to stay the night. UGH! I had promised him he was going to come home and now he has to stay. I felt like such an aweful Mom having to back out of a promise like that. I know he is a dog but he is still my baby.

So, this morning (Thursday) we go and pick him up…ok not actually morning but close enough. He is so happy to see us that he wants no small talk and makes his way to the car and jumps right in. He is a dog with a mission! Well, we got home and after Chien and Oliver check him out to make sure he is ok we go outside. He stayed outside for about an hour just checking everything out making sure nothing changed while he was gone. When he came in he followed me downstairs, plopped down on his pillow and fell asleep. I came upstairs a little while later and he followed me and slept upstairs until dinner time. He ate, went outside, and then went back to sleep. I have to flush out the drain tube before we head off to bed. Yes, I know I am up late tonight! Off to be shortly…goodnight!!

Today just one of those day! Wet and blah!! I haven’t been feeling too great the past few day…I think I am fighting a cold or something. I have to get in gear and start doing stuff. I really need to clean up the basement…I started it and got a lot accomplished! Elliot was happy because I let him run around in his playpen while I was cleaning. LOL! Silly bunny loved it so much! I should have gotten some pictures but I didn’t. Maybe next time!

I have high hopes of scrapping a little today. I have some pictures that I want to print so maybe it will happen. That is if the dogs behave. They have been a silly and naughty bunch lately! Especially Sebastian…he has been a cry baby for the past few days. Not sure what that is about. Maybe the change in the weather or something.

Oh, FYI, I closed my eBay store as I wasn’t making enough to pay the rent! Maybe in the future I will open it back up but for now it is closed.

Well, that is all for now…must get in gear here and get moving! TTFN!!

til what you ask?!?!?! Till my birthday!!!! Can you tell I am excited!?!?! Every year I get excited like this around my birthday. I really LOVE my birthday, it is an AWESOME day!!! I don’t know what I want as far as gifts though…I am in a pickle about gifts! There are lots of things that I want but do I need them…well that is another question all together. I tend to buy impulse items and then don’t use them or find out I really didn’t want that after all. SO I am trying to be smart this year and think long and hard before I purchase certain things. So I am off to ponder what I need vs. what I want!

Well, here is another Sunday gone by. My Mom and I went up to Walmart today to do some grocery shopping. Such fun! NOT!!!!! People were so rude…I couldn’t take it! I just can’t understand why people have to be so rude. I try to be respectable of those around me. Today was just crazy. I have to remember never to go to Walmart on a Sunday afternoon!

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Last night my stomach hurt something aweful again so, I decided to take it easy today and relax a bit. It is a bit chilly here today so I had to turn some of the baseboard heaters back on. My little footsies were a wee bit chilled!! LOL!!

Today I got some goodies from my Mom for Valentine’s Day!!! I got a box of Saunders chocolates, a Godiva bear with a box of chocolates, and a box of chocolate covered fortune cookies!!! Yummy!!! Can you can chocolate high!!! LOL!!!

Today is Friday the 13th! Yes, I am supersticious!!! 2 years ago on Friday the 13th I got a speeding ticket and there have been other Friday the 13th’s that something bad has happened to me. I just don’t like em! Oh well, enough about that!!

Yesterday was a busy day as my Mom and I went out shopping all afternoon. We started off with lunch at Chili’s. Then we hit the pet stores (Petsmart & Petco) because everybody needed something or another. The birds were desperate for some seed as they ran out earlier in the week. Elliot need food and a toy. The cats needed food and some feliway. The dogs were in need of food too. After the pets were taken care of we went and did a bit of grocery shopping. Such fun!! We stopped at Kroger & Ukrops and got lots of goodies at both stores. I want to hit Michaels but there was no time for that! Bummer!! When we got home the dogs were so glad to see us. Oliver couldn’t wait to be fed as usual!! LOL!!

That was my afternoon! The evening was pretty boring…ate dinner (tuna noodle casserole), played on Winster for a bit, talked to Aunt Sally, and then bed!

Today is a boring day too! I haven’t gotten dressed yet. I probably should but why bother now as it is after 6 pm. I should go and make dinner or see what there is to make.

Today was another warm and sunny day…around 72 again today! Very nice!! The dogs enjoyed themselves outside. When I went out to play with the dogs this afternoon I saw about 5 squirrels running and chasing each other…so cute to watch!! Other than that today was bad day…I had a stomach bug last night…up until 1 am and then up again at 4 am so I slept in until 11 am. I feel a little better now…still kinda sleepy. I did manage to catch a cat nap on the couch before I made dinner. Ooooo…I made a yummy pizza!! My half had bacon and onions and my Mom’s half had pepperoni on it. So good!!!!!!! Well, I am gonna take the dogs outside and then hit the sheets! Goodnight!!!!!!

Wow, this weekend just flew right by me! It was a hard one for some reason. I am going thru a bit of something right now. I am pretty sure that I am in a manic phase right now. I sure wish I had therapy this week so I could make some sense of this. I will have to write some stuff down so I don’t forget to bring it up in therapy next week.

For those that don’t know I have Bipolar disorder. The following is a definition of Bipoar disorder taken from Wikipedia. Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders defined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally elevated mood clinically referred to as mania or, if milder, hypomania. Individuals who experience manic episodes also commonly experience depressive episodes or symptoms, or mixed episodes in which features of both mania and depression are present at the same time. These episodes are usually separated by periods of “normal” mood, but in some individuals, depression and mania may rapidly alternate, known as rapid cycling. Extreme manic episodes can sometimes lead to psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations.

So back to the subject at hand…my weekend! LOL!! It was good, the weather was very nice in the 70′s! The dogs enjoyed it very much and stayed outside most of the days. The outdoor kitties were all out too and that was fun to watch them play. I didn’t take many pictures…shame on me I know!!

I am working with Oliver outside at night as right now he has to be leashed because he won’t come when I call him. He is getting better with that. He listens pretty good during the day but at night it is another story. I worry because we have had possums and other critters in our backyard late at night and I just don’t want one to get hold of him (or my other 2 boys either). Tonight there were 5 deer in the neighbors yard…I so wish I had an infared camera so I could photograph them. I hope they are gone because the dogs and I have one more trip outside before bed. LOL! Well I should go now it is getting late and I need to do a few things before I get ready for bed.

Talk to you tomorrow!! Goodnight!!

This is a wonderful book of scrapbooking sketches! A must buy for any serious scrapper!

Hello! I am wondering if anyone is reading this sometimes. LOL! Oh well, if not, it is just me talking to myself again. I am not feeling myself today. A bit restless and agitated for some reason. The dogs are very annoying to me today too…any sound they make just is killing my brain! I am trying not to raise my voice to them and it is extremely difficult especially with Sebastian as he is just crying for no reason today. I wish I could just curl up and go to sleep for the rest of the day and when I wake up I feel better.
