Thursday -- summer's almost over

I went to the dentist yesterday.  Had some cavities --- boo hoo  ---.  I was thrown off when the dentist walked in.  It wasn't my dentist!  I knew my dentist had remarried earlier this year and that his wife was a dentist --  but I thought my appointment was with HIM not her.  Evidently the shock showed on my face as she said she would get him if I didn't want her.  I soooooo bad wanted to say yeah get him in here (I've been going to him for like over 20 years) but I didn't.  I wish I had. 

When she was finished with my teeth I go to pay.  Oh my goodness!!!!  I have never paid so much (except for a crown).  Over $500 for 2 teeth (oh, but one had to spots to be fixed so that was like doing another tooth!!)  I think we patients are helping to pay for his wedding and honeymoon!!!!!!

My aunt's house still hasn't sold. Ugh.  I know there is a housing slump but this is getting crazy.  How long can a house stay empty before it falls apart?  We even put a new roof on it without going up on the price!

Thanks to all that have been concerned about me.  It makes me feel good to know that someone is thinking about me.

There is a new show on the TLC network that has me thinking about Pamela (his1desire), it's called Crazy, Sexy Cancer.  Just the name brings to mind pictures Pamela had posted of her in her knitted cap and the one of her in her pj's.  It is amazing that I still think about and miss her.  I hope her children are doing ok.

I thought maybe AOL would offer up a 4 year journal badge (like they have done in the past) but I guess they didn't see a point.  Maybe for the 5th year anniversary?

My kitties are fine.  Maggie is starting to drive me crazy.  When I first got her she would only eat can food.  I finally got her to eat some dry and some canned.  Now little miss prissy wants to go back to all can food.  If I can out last her meows and fusses she will stay on a diet of mostly dry.  But there are times I give in to her and let her have what she wants -- it's either that or throw her out!  Kidding.  I would never doing anything mean to the cats --- but every now and then I think about it!  LOL

so, it's me again!! aren't you thrilled? LOL

Can't believe that I have been off line for so long.  Thanks so much to those of you that have asked about me.

Why haven't I been online?  I have no real answer for you.  I do suffer with depression and am guessing that is part of the reason that I suddenly had no desire to get online.  Not just journaling online but being online at all.

I did have a problem with tremors/shaking and it was being caused by one of my meds -- although the doctor and I disagreed on which one was causing the problem.  I tried it his way, which was just a waste of time -- I was right on which med was causing it (love it when I'm right!  LOL).  So it took about a month to get out of my system and during that month I started something new.  Now I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that I will get back to the way I was before. 

I am guessing that J-land didn't celebrate our 4th anniversary and that no awards happened this year?  I kind of guess not.  Too bad -- about the anniversary at least.

Not much going on around here.  The heat has been horrible.  Almost all of my grass is dead.  It really looks bad, but atleast with dying grass I don't have to pay to get it cut!

My cats are beautiful and healthy -- as always.  Maggie is being a bit of a pain because of her diet.  She is at the "top" weight she should be for her size so cutting back on food is happening and she isn't thrilled.  Actually she gets all the dry food she wants, it's just that she wants can food and that has been cut back dramatically.  I guess if someone took away my favorite food I would be grouchy too.  LOL

I am going to really and try hard to make myself get online more.  I miss all of you guys so much.  Can you believe we have been here for 4 years now?  WOW

Take care,

Kathy
