The Thanksgiving Photos

It's your chance to see the amazing family and friends of the Psycho Sensei. There are pictures of my seester, brother in law, mom and dad, as well as my very first Psycho Sensei instructors, Peter and Linda Murphy in their nifty new boxing and kickboxing gym. And you can see them too at this nifty link

It was great to see everyone again.

My poor Spot cat...

Spot the Wonder Cat, cat who was named Spot before Data named HIS cat Spot; Spot the 18 1/2 year old kitty who was rescued off the side of the road by a fellow employee; Spot who was found in a box with 3 siblings and nursed back to health after the vet said he wouldn't live very long - is not doing very well.

We've had our share of scares with Spot. He's been sick over the years, due to a not great immune system, a stroke last year, inflammatory bowel disease, and various and sundry other issues, but through it all, he's been a loving and wonderful companion. Last night he started wheezing and showing signs of respiratory distress. I can't take the poor guy to the vet, because he freaks out so badly we're all afraid he'll have another stroke. Tried to get a vet to come here, but nobody can come til Monday. I hope he lasts that long.

I gave him some asthma medication and a nice warm box. Maybe he'll pull through this scare too. Maybe he won't. It's not up to me anymore. Please send nice thoughts Spot's way.

Today is Wessiepooh's Birthday!

And our 3rd wedding anniversary. Happy Birthday Wessiepooh!!! I'm still working on a surprise for him, so of course I won't mention it on a public weblog because SOMEONE will likely tell him, thwarting the surprise.

Today my sister, Slobbo Pithicus will arrive so that I can annoy her and her husband John Boy. We must pick up the hounds before they arrive so they can get the full picture of strange puppies chewing on their possessions.

Naughty Wessiepooh

We are still in Bonaire, having a fantastic trip as usual. We're doing great diving, seeing wonderful critters and taking more pictures (which you can see here), and in general thoroughly enjoying it.

However....my naughty husband decided to make a faithful stop at the bar. By the time he was finished, he was having a very difficult time walking, has been quite ill, and now is worshipping the porcelain god. Perhaps he will see the light and become a Pagan yet :-)

I have never seen hubby drunk before. I don't think I want to again.

Back to SCHOOL!!!!

It's that most wonderful time of the year! The child goes to her orientation at her new middle school tomorrow. She will show off her new braces, her way cool new school clothes, and a pile of whatever she was told to bring. She's going to have to wake up VERY early, in order to start at 7:30, but she gets out at 2:30. She is definitely not a morning person, so it might be quite interesting watching her attempting to get her sorry butt out of bed. In this way, she is very much like her mother. Ah the fun of being a mommy.

Morgan and the Ghosts

I am about to kick the ass of Lucy, our Columbian housekeeper, for telling Morgan ghost stories again, and making the kid afraid to sleep in her own bed, and afraid to turn out the lights. VERY frustrating, to say the least. Gave Morgan an amber necklace last night and explained it would protect her from "negative energy." Also explained to her that Lucy was superstitious and shouldn't be believed over her mother regarding whether there are or are not ghosts in the house.
