Thought of the Day: Sometimes you just have to go out and find your own answers ... otherwise, you may never know. But be honest with yourself ... finding truths based on lies doesn't help anybody.

It's a little late, but ...
GONG HEI FAT CHOI!! 恭 喜 發 財
Best wishes for everybody in Year of the Dragon!


     Well, it's been a busy month so far ... getting Mom packed up, and then getting her out on her own. Today, we went shopping ... what a mess that was. Mom wanted to go to Walmart. So I abandoned my plans (I had the route streamlined) and we went to Walmart. I ended up not getting half of what I wanted because every time we put something in the cart, Mom started to head for the exit. Every. Time. ... Did I mention that going to Walmart was her idea in the first place? She even had the list! Ugh. I'll have to go by myself to get my things ... maybe skip over to Canadian Tire. Depends on the fliers that come out this week.

     So, just a couple weeks left before the end of my job with BPCS, then a short vacation for my own move, and Spot's blood test and whatever else has been crammed in to those four days ... and then I start work with my new job. YAY! I'm going to need it too ... the new apartment looks to be unexpectedly more expensive than we were expecting. Mom's not happy about it, but that's her battle. Now, if I can just get her to stop buying my things for me. I can afford these things on my own, thanks.

     Feeling a bit lonely tonight, but not for Mom's company. That's what I get for sitting in the dark watching movies. :) Silly me. My DVD player is throwing fits ... not sure if it's fixable or not. Will have to see what a new combo unit costs ... probably less to buy than fix, which is kinda sad. UGH ... so much to replace that was damaged or lost. Not even sure what happened to the DVD player. It was working when I moved in here, but then fritzed when we plugged it into Mom's TV. One more thing for the wish list, I guess. The frustration list too.

     Spot and Tiberius are getting along better. Spot still isn't thrilled that we're keeping him though. Tiberius has really calmed down alot since I brought him home, though he still has a long way to go. He totally freaks when somebody comes over and he won't let anybody touch him but me ... and I still have to chase him a bit first. Poor baby. Every now and then he comes to spend time with me and I can hear Hagrid saying, "Look! He knows his Mummy!"

     Still a bit left to say, but I'm tired. I'll try to sneak in again tomorrow ...

Sweet Dreams!
