John Lund's work and updates

©johnlund.com

First let me say thanks to the artist that is letting me put some of his work in my journal!  I wrote John Lund for permission and he wrote back that I could.  I am so thrilled.  I love his work.  I had to copy/paste that little copyright sign because I don't know how to make one, do any of you know?

Yesterday was a long day.  Got up at 5:30am so I could have my dad at the hospital by 6:30 for his heart cath.  I could go on and on about how long the wait was, how bad hospital food is, etc....but I won't. Dad did fine.  He had one 40% blockage but the doctor acted like it was nothing.  And they fixed him up. 

I honestly believe some of my dad's "heart spells" is actually panic attacks but he won't believe me.  At the hosptial I saw a poster that lists all the heart attack warning signs, guess what? They are the same as bad panic attackes!  I could have told them that.  But I guess you need to be sure when it comes to your heart.

Sophie seems to be settling in some now.  The first night without Sadie she slept all night with me, now it is just parts of the night.  She was all over me when I am at the computer and now not so much.  This is good.  I am more settled now with Sadie back (even if it is in an urn), it's strange how some kind of calm has come over me.

I would still like to get Sophie a playmate but I am not rushing it.  I think another cat close to her own age would be good.  Another black cat would be great but I know the chances aren't great for that.  Actually I could go on and on about what I would like to get, but --as in the past  -- I will take whatever breed/mix that looks at me with those little eyes that say "take me home or I will haunt your dreams".  LOL

The art is great. I used to know how to make the copywrite sign but I forgot. I'll ask a friend of mine who should know. She does the fliers for a library and I'm sure she has to put that in.
Anyway, the art is really good. I like it.

As for animals, it's very strange how you can just look at the eyes and KNOW that animal belongs with you. I actually saw my dog on the Internet and knew that she had to be here. I was right. : )

PS. As a person who has had panic attacks, yes they mimic heart attack. Ask his doctor for a low dose of valium. Not as addictive as other tranquilizers.

Click Start > ALL Programs>Accesories>System Tools > Character MAP © Go to Ariel font and you will see it for copying it.

You can also enter the code directly using ALT + a number sequence but I can't remember it.

Hi Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear about your cat.  I know how much you loved her and she you.  I had a cat years ago that was hit by a car and it was awful...I did get a kitten shortly after and kept her in doors she is long gone.  I can understand how you would feel better having her with you.  I believe that she knows and your cat now can sense her presence.  I believe in all that stuff.  
I lost my brother suddenly just over two years ago, and so many unexplainable things have happened that I just believe that he is giving me signs.
Take care,
Donna

In time I am sure Sophie will have the perfect playmate.  But, you are like me.  It has to be the right one at the right time.  You'll know when you've found the perfect furbaby.

Good job on getting permission to show the art.  It's just great!
