Posted by limedragon | Filed under personal
Which do you prefer to get first, bad or good news? I’ve always preferred getting the bad stuff first, but today, I’ll put it behind the cut. I’m also postponing a new, knitting-related post until next week.
Good News #1 Although the doctors couldn’t figure out the cause of his kidney problems, my cousin is much better [...]
Have Heart
Posted by limedragon | Filed under general, personal
Many thanks to everyone who left or emailed well wishes for my family; we all appreciated them!
It looks like Dad may have a donor. The new heart is expected to arrive about 9 pm; so it’s going to be a long night for us.
I’ll post another update tomorrow or Monday. Thanks again everyone!!

My cat licks plastic
Posted by limedragon | Filed under know thyself
How’s that for weird? I hate when Munchkin does that, I swear, it’s like she’s addicted. She likes to eat popcorn (plain), cream cheese, or ice cream and will sniff you out if you try and hide it from her. But I guess this post needs to be about me, so, here goes…
