Day 217

After months of suffering, my mother (inlaw) has crossed over. We sat by her side while she was in the deep sleep that comes when one is reviewing their lives. I hope in the end loved ones came and helped her make the leap to the other side an easy one. I hope she has found the peace and contentment that she deserves. Thank you Spokane Hospice for all that they did to help her make this life's journey's end. They were wonderful, professional and caring people. If you are deciding on a charity to make a donation, please keep them in mind. They are so worthy.

I had a dream this morning where Sue was in India. Young, as I had seen her in pictures with Michael when he was also young wearing a beautiful colored kurti and her hair was so dark and lush. She was smiling and I knew she was happy.

I will miss our talks and her cooking lessons. She always had sage advise that sometimes I heeded and other times foolishly ignored. I was a better person for knowing her. Bless you Sue (Mom) and wishing you safe journeys onto your next lives.

Day 216

MIL has been unresponsive for 2 days. She is in a deep drug induced sleep. Her sweet husband gives her liquid medication every 2 hours. I wish I could do more.

Day 215

Day 214

My desktop computer has died. I am now back on my laptop.

My life is in a sort of limbo world. My mother in law is dying, my beloved dog, Sammie, has gone blind and now we have learned he has an eye disease that may or may not kill him. They want to remove his eyes, and I just cannot bring myself to do so.

I am trying to stay positive, but, it sure is hard not to become all encompassing depressed.

I will be better tomorrow.

Day 209

Day 208

Not as hot today, but, still did not get much done when I was home.

I was reading where they consider Louisiana the laziest state in America because of the depressive humid heat makes people there move slower. I can understand that. We do not have the humidity, but, when its hot I slow way down.

Day 207

Another Monday. Hottest day of the year, so far. 98 degrees. Heat is nobody's friend.

Day 206

Another hot day here. I'm still making jewelry and catching up watching some shows I recorded.

I watched to great shows on PBS yesterday. One was a concert of 3 Canadian women acts. Dala, Oh Suzanna and Good Lovelies. Awesome music if you like women singer/songwriters. So I went a searching on emusic and sure enough they had all three and I had 50 downloads to use. Everytime I think about non subscribing to emusic something like this comes up and I'm glad I didn't. So, new music to listen to at work on Monday.

The other show was Dr. Neal Barnhart on Reversing Diabletes. He made it sound uncomplicated. I bought his book from BOMC2 a while ago. I need to pull it down from the shelf and give it a read.

Day 205

It's going to be a hot one today. I'm staying close to home and catching up on laundry and making jewelry. Not exciting, but life is what life is.

Day 204

I haven't posted very much this week. It's been a crazy time. Between my mother-in-law who is not doing so well to Sammie going completely blind has taken alot of my attention. Lil' Sam was so depressed. But he seems to have started becomming adjusted to his new situation in small ways. There is still alot of crying and barking when he gets lost and cannot maneuver where he wants to be. He is eating and drinking well, so that is a good sign.

BJ, M's daughter, was here the beginning of the week and it was a great visit. She is such a lovely woman. She was always the sweetest child and now in adulthood she is what every parent would want for their children.

I have been slowly getting back into making jewelry. The creativity comes and goes. I have alot of orders that are needing to get done. This weekend will be a perfect time to spend catching up.

Went to the doctor who has now bought my doctor's practice. The new doctor I chose, who was perfect has quit to become a businessman. I was quite dissappointed in this new doctor. Another pill pusher pushing the pill of the week. Do you think for an allergic rash I need a mood elevator drug and a stomach pill? So I'm looking for a new general practioner.

New to the DVR this week: Animal Planet's Last American Cowboy. Awesome show! Hard life. Gene Simmons Family Jewels is back for another season.

I watched a very interesting National Geographic special called The Real Slumdogs. This weekend I am going to watch the movie Slumdog Millionare. We are officially hooked on Deadwood. What a great series. We been renting the series through Netflix. And I found out today Dexter, season 4 is being released in August. Awesome!
