Thanks, Ash. :)
I admit that I've been doing spring cleaning now that I have a new floor to ceiling book case for DVDs up. Having the tubs brought up from the basement and other assorted rooms and rooting through them has been something of a surprise...
I admit I didn't know I had so very many copies of Disney VHS and DVD movies, as well as sci-fi and action. Four Aristocats, 2-4 of each Harry Potter movie, four or five Blade 3. I've got two full tubs of movies I don't need and am planning on giving my mother dibs, then offering some to a friend who wants to become a foster mom, and then divide the rest up among two nursing homes.
I admit I'm not done looking over all the movies yet and am capable of seeing two of the same movies on two different shelves and not noticing, aargh. Once I have that epiphany, then I have to check them for mold and damage. I have filled up a kitchen garbage can full of ones that didn't make it. When I first moved here, I lined my book cases up against the living room wall and put most of my VHS tapes there, not knowing that my house has no insulation. By the end of the first winter, condensation and mold had harmed most of my tapes...so I stored them away as a reminder to start looking in pawn shops and second hand stores to replace them, and got the ones that were not damaged packed away as well.
I admit that most of my James Bond movies are on VHS and are okay...but...I wish they were on DVD. I will be more careful about replacing VHS tapes in the future, as all the ones I misspent my money on could have bought other DVDs. My plan is to make a notebook and list movies I want to replace under page "A's", another page for "B's", etc.
I admit I'm on my third week of having a cold. I had an appointment at my oncologist's office recently and got antibiotics for my cold, as my white cells were elevated. Just doing my usual bloodwork...oh, I'm too fat to have my usual yearly cancer test and plan to resume exercising now that the crack in my right heel is healed (so I can lose those dratted three pounds)...
I admit that I was so distracted by my germ mask, the antibiotics, my blood pressure being perfect (second number was 74 instead of the 90 something it usually rises to at my family doctor's office), and the two month delay on my yearly test...that all of us forgot to get my port flushed. Aargh. I need to go back next week and get another jab with a needle.
I admit that I was wearing Marie pants (white kitten with blue eyes from the cartoon Disney movie Aristocats), and so the nurses decided to make the arm band thingy holding the cotton to my puncture exactly match the pink ribbon around the kitty's neck, lol. They didn't say a word until I noticed it ten minutes later and I thought it was a coincidence...but their laughing and smiles and "THAT was no accident" set me straight.
I admit I was wearing my black cat hat (it has big eyes, nose, and whiskers painted on over the bill, and ears sewn up top) too, because I remember how important something silly can be when waiting in an oncologist's office waiting room. I feel sorry for all the scared newbies...and miss the ones who used to be there, occasionally, laughing and joking over their experiences.
I admit that bo's mother's hip surgery has been delayed today. I was expecting her to go under the knife at 7 a.m., but they want some kind of an MRI to see about spots in or on the cracked (it's the part that goes into the hip socket) bone thingy to verify that these are just cysts or arthritis or whatever instead of anything badder. They're giving her good meds and bo says the only time she seems to be in pain is when she tries to move. She should be in surgery right now. bo will be phoning me soon to let me know how it went.
I admit I was surprised to hear that the hospital will have her on her feet, walking about, and plan on sending her home on her third day (after only two nights there!). If they use screws and a plate, she can go home. If it's some replacement device, she will need to go into rehab for two or more weeks. I was worried about bo driving home at night when he was too tired, and so I made him ask the nursing staff for a chair that parents are often given to sleep on when their kids are in the hospital. He didn't know he could ask for this, as well as for a pillow and blanket. That was last night. Earlier today he drove back home (an hour's drive) to go pick up stuff they would both need, then he drove back in time for her surgery.
My lower left wisdom tooth shattered into several chunks. Yeah, ouch. The sharp two pronglike remainders keep puncturing my tongue. I've only had two cavities that needed filling in my entire life and I guess I deserve this. Everyone else in my family has lots of cavities and I've just been way too lucky. I need to phone a dentist and make an appointment and I am NOT looking forward to dental surgery as this sucker is dug out of my gum.
I admit we saw a big fat bunny in our back yard yesterday! I've seen toads and snakes and even had a woodpecker and an owl, but even after ten years this bunny is the very first. Yep, I'm buying some apples and carrots and am going to put them in the back yard. If one of my cats bring it in the house, I'm keeping it as an indoor/outdoor bunny, via big cages. I'm worried the neighbors' dogs will kill it. If anyone knows how to make an outdoor bunny happy to stay here in my back yard, please let me know (plz send mail). Salt lick? Some kind of a bunny house? (No laughing; outdoor dogs get to have dog houses, why not bunnies?) It should probably stick with the wild food it's already eating, but as one would give a horse an occasional apple or carrot or whatever, I plan to do the same. I would even plant a small "rabbit garden" in my lower yard, lol, with lettuce or whatever else rabbits would like to raid. (Yeah, it was THAT cute! I LOVED seeing a bunny outside my bathroom window.)
