still bent. not broken. but i'm online. dsl/phone is cheaper here than in Oklahoma. and i get a discount because of "retirement". i can't tell you how it is to not get here. i start thinking about certain people and wondering how you are doing, etc. etc. especially at night. at least now, i can be my nosy self again.

still very broke. my daughter thought that the check had come in and it was a denial for the medicaid.....so, that false hope flew out the window. i will go back to Oklahoma when i can afford it. and i'm not taking any cats.

everyone has been outside now and they all have different takes on it. pearl hides, timmee slogs around, mikkee noses in neighbor's yards and amsu sits in the storage shed and watches it all.

i do have nice neighbors. one that i'm leery of. she gets "up close and personal".......and you know me, "why do you ask?" and that generally runs her back home.

i'm just trying to do the $ thing without going to pieces. i can't do a thing about a job til i get the rest moved and i hate that empty hole in gut.....BUT dogs and cats are okay and that is most important.

i am so in love with this town. except for the neighbor, far up the hill, who doesn't like cats. but i went over and talked to him and identified mine and was fairly clear concerning my devotion and my "guardian" status. (i could take him.... )

ELIZABETH GEORGE......MYSTERY WRITER. i found three more that i haven't read. be sure, if you follow this lead, to start at the first, as they follow one another....and you don't want to get into the middle and then find out something that you shouldn't know so soon.

when i was at the library on saturday, desperately trying to touch bases with PCers, it was taking TWO minutes for a page to download. i almost had a nervous breakdown. i started talking to Tomi and we had to end it because the computer timed out. jeeezzzzzz. but sure was appreciative that i got online for that short time.
