No Oscar for Good Movie
The Oscars were good this year, but left me feeling disappointed because it ended on an unpleasant note: No Country for Old Men won Best Picture! Ugh! I really don’t like that movie. I almost did, but the last 20 min ruined the entire movie for me and it was completely unredeemable after that. In …

Are the Oscars That Depressing?!
Since dropping John off at the airport yesterday, I haven’t had much to do but spend time with the kitties (which I love); however, when Lyse invited me to join her in a pre-Oscars movie viewing extravaganza, I jumped on it. Lyse, David, Mac & I met at the Arclight to see Atonement at 7pm. …

Let’s Add To It, Shall We?
So, after missing a few days of work while having the flu last week and a few days the week before for food poisoning, I had to miss 2 days this week for gastritis!!! Basically, this is the beginning of an ulcer; and, if I don’t take care of it and de-stress, it will be …

The Sickness
Every year, I seem to get one severe cold. I can usually fight it pretty quickly; and, I hope this year is no different. I am home with the flu. My face aches – sinuses, throat and temples. I have body aches too. I’ll be taking NiQuil in 30 min and going to sleep early …

Cat Update
Dagan is home from the vet, and he is doing so much better! He will be on sub-q fluids for the rest of his life, but he will be happy and loved every day! Aurora is at the vet now, getting her 4-Day IV fluid flush. It was so sad to see her with a …

Fragile Life
Today, Dagan & Aurora were diagnosed with CRF (Chronic Renal Failure), aka Kidney Failure. They eat different food, have very different medical histories and kidney trouble is not contagious. How did this happen at the same time? What am I supposed to learn from this? It’s possible that I will lose both my children very …

What’s New with Spew?
I am getting tired, but decided to recap some recent thoughts and events… This past weekend was the party at the Polk Street Palace (my friends’ house in Sylmar). It was so much fun! I was in the hot tub for hours, and it was freezing out too! Lots of great conversations and relaxation to …
