| | You Save Me - Kenney Chesney | ] |
Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else
And I thank God you do
'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love
When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me
When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me |

I am praying for Mary, that she might feel the love that so many people have for her and draw strength from it. Ti amo, Mary. |

| Thanks again, with some better news |

Thank you all again... I believe that prayer works, and to that end, I have this update:
His X-rays were completely normal, so no hip displasia, and he tested negative for Lyme's disease. They've sent a blood sample to a laboratory in Arizona that ONLY tests for tick-borne illness and they put him on a broad-spectrum antibiotic (which means that it kills a lot of different kinds of bacteria), and said if it IS a tick disease, we should see some improvement in about 5 or so days. So... who knows? But everyone's optimistic now. =)
I thank you, and Trooper thanks you! |

No news yet, and in this case, no news is not good news. The X-ray is scheduled for Wednesday. He doesn't have the right muscle mass in his hindquarters... at this point it looks like hip displasia might be the DESIRABLE diagnosis. Certainly more desirable than a spinal disease, which could be incurable. So now I'm MORE worried than before. |

| Thank you all |

Thank you all for your prayers for Trooper... HE'S certainly cheerful enough and doesn't seem to notice anything is wrong. WE are all extremely worried. I think the waiting is the worst part. |

Very suddenly today Trooper (who is my new journal icon) started showing very dramatic signs of hip displasia. His hips kind of sway when he walks and his toes (especially on his right leg) are angled out, away from his body. He also runs with the "bunny-hop" (using both hind legs at the same time), which I've read is a pretty clear sign. Only X-rays will tell if he actually has it, and they won't come until Monday or Tuesday (depending on if the vet office is open on MLK day). If he does have it, from what I understand he will be an ideal candidate for a surgery called triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO), unless the hip displasia is already causing arthritis. He seems uncomfortable, but not in pain, and is certainly the same wonderful, sweet snuggler he always has been.
My poor baby. =( We shall know in a few days. |

On your wedding day,
I am not with you, but I see in my heart the eternal flame of your love that burns so brightly. I hear your voices in laughter, in enjoyment of gazing into each other's eyes. I feel your pride in each other and the life you have built together. Your loyalty and devotion radiates through the skies, past the moon and the planets, radiates out to dance with the stars in the universe. You fill the world with your true love, and I feel it.
May everything truly good and holy witness this special day for you both, Michel and Gina, and may it lay its blessings upon your hearts, minds, souls and bodies.
Michel + Gina = TRUE LOVE FOREVER
May you be blessed on your glorious, glorious wedding day. |

For a long time I felt like I had a really heavy, oppressive weight on my shoulders. Conchetta and I once were close, but some things happened which caused us to not be friends any longer. This hurt someone we both love very, very much, someone neither of us would ever want to hurt.
So in honor of Michel, Conchetta and I talked. And it started out real rough. But it got better. Once upon a time, we were buddies. And after the storm calmed a little, we talked. Actually talked. And know what else? We laughed. ACTUALLY laughed. We're not best buddies, and I don't know if I can call us friends yet, but we've turned over a new leaf. We ended on a distinctly positive note: a major fifth instead of a minor second. I'm willing to work for more. But I can go to bed tonight with a weight off my shoulders.
Thank you, Michel. You've made a bigger difference than you think.
And Conchetta... I'm still trying to find that bookstore. I refuse to believe we don't have one. |

My life has been better for the fact that you've been in it. You always said that the true way to tell if someone really loves you is if they're happy for the simple fact that you're happy, and I always knew that you loved me because you were always happy when I was. I want you to know that I am happy when you are happy. I am happy for the day that Gigi literally ran into you on the street. =) I'm happy for you that you have her in your life, because I know that she IS your life and you wouldn't have it any other way. One of my absolute favorite sounds in the world is the silence of you laughing so hard you can't even make a sound, except for a little gasp for air now and then. I love how you're "old-fashioned." People say it like it's a bad thing, but it isn't. It means you have morals and values, and it means that you pass them on, and in your case, you pass them on to Gina. You have every right to be as proud of her as you are, because she is wonderful example of a young lady. Little Alissa Carla will never go wrong with Gina to look up to.
More than anything, I think, I love you because you've been a true, good, loyal friend to me, and I've learned that true friendship is one of the rarest things in this world. You are a rare person, Michel, and the world is better for having you here. I am much better for having known you and learned from you. I find that I can do nothing but believe in you, in your spirit and your determination and your love. I believe in you, I believe in you. I believe in you. I love you, my best friend. You are special and precious, and I love you for what you have given me, but even more for who you are. To me, you stand for chivalry and honor, loyalty, trust, and unconditional love. To me, you are these things in the true definition of the word "is," not as we use it every day. These things are in your very nature, not just some words and theoretical ideas ascribed to you. These things are you, and I love you for that. You are my best friend. I only hope you realize how deeply I mean that and I how deeply I believe in you. |

I've had a migraine lurking for a couple days now. It seems to be gone right now (*crosses fingers*), hopefully, but it flared up bad last night. Sometimes I can picture a legitimate cure being something like puncturing the sinuses through either my nose or my tear ducts (I saw that on the X-Files once) and just letting the pressure go... letting the blood, or the mucus, or the air, or whatever it is that seems to be filling my head, just letting it go and ease it up a little bit.
Mind you, I'm not going to actually DO it, I know it doesn't work like that. I'm just saying sometimes that feels like it would make things better. Although that blood thing gives me an idea for a story.
Went to the Career Fair today. I think People's Bank was really interested in my years of customer service experience. They took my resume and wrote something on it, even. That makes me pretty happy, because I didn't see them taking many other resumes.
I skipped class today (first time this semester) because Medieval Lit isn't terribly exciting, and I didn't do the homework.
Rats. The headache is coming back. Good thing I didn't go.
Gah!!! New Lost on tonight! Whee, Claire's baby is coming! |

My brother told me that his girlfriend thinks I'm cool, which is cool in itself! "Cool" is not an adjective I get too often. Of course, she dates my brother and thinks I'm cool, so I'm not quite sure what that says about her. ;)
(Actually, she's a sweetheart and I adore her.) |

I just repotted my African violet. Sean cursed the poor thing when he gave it to me; I kill everything I touch. I repotted the main plant and I'm going to try to germinate another one from a leaf cutting. I'd really like to have a garden someday, so I'd better start practicing now.
And so begins Plant Watch 2005. |
