SciFi Friday

Alrighty then, I'm a big dork. But it's January 6th and Stargate, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica are back!!! I have a NASTY cold. Wound up taking yesterday and today off work rather than taking my coughing, febrile self in to infect a zillion other people. C and I went to St. Augustine for about three days to celebrate our third wedding anniversary. Posting a picture of the top of the lighthouse there. Less than halfway through I just wanted to crawl into bed and die. Luckily this thing seems to be on it's way out. Haven't had a fever since last night and I'm not coughing so much. Happy to get my cold and flu season out of the way earlier. Hopefully tomorrow I might even get the kayak into the water and try out the new wetsuit. C says he might come out with me soon. I'd like to believe him but I won't force him to do anything he's uncomfortable with.

We're so surrounded by "You can do anything you want" blah blah blah. His prosthesis is awesome but at the same time it really shouldn't get wet or sandy. Water seems to set of the neuromas on the right side, causing enough pain so he won't even swim. He swam once since the accident. Not sure what made him stop. He says it was the pain but I know he didn't like the exposure of it.

Tired of watching the news. More bombings in Iraq early this morning. 137 dead plus over 200 wounded. Nothing we can do for the dead but their families have so much to deal with no and no shoulders to lean on. The wounded have recovery, physical and mental. I don't know. I knew how to get us through a lot of things but there are just parts of your life that change and no one bothers to write about those in any inspirational books. And dear gussy did we ever get inspirational books. Everyone felt like giving us this book and that about so and so who had overcome adversity. Arghh.

Ok, well, I don't even know where I'm going anymore. The girls (our kitties) are beautiful as always. Minnie tossed a toy mouse behind the cable box a minute ago. Had to rescue her. She couldn't get behind to get it out and she just looked so dejected. The vet says Bela girl has to o on a diet. Oof, I don't know how to do that. Minnie doesn't need one but I don't want to separate them for feeding. She's just more sedentary. Their personalities are so different yet they're such good sisters!
