My Chaotic Realm

Well, technically it is Friday today... but as Spirit & I took off yesterday it is sorta a Monday... and with the turn in the weather (from 88`F to 24`F) work is just chock full o' morons. People P*A*N*I*C when the temperatures drop, I tell ya. And they are not even actually LOOKING to see if they are low on LPG, they just call all freaked out. Sigh. Yesterday was a wee bit busy. First my thyroid testing @ 8am, then Spirit got stitches out & had another procedure done, then lunch @ Kim Phung, then haircuts, and eventually headed home in time for the ABC pest people's quarterly checkup.

What it meant to love you, no one can ever know. But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more; to remember all the happy times, life still has much in store.

Jeannie J passed 11/24/06 as a result of a motorcycle wreck.... but it would have been how she'd have wanted to go, I think. The memorial service was Sunday 11/26 at ARC and it was just wonderful. The room was filled to overflowing and many reassuring, reaffirming things were said during it. And now, for me & everyon
