I couldn’t be prouder Day to Day Life

I knew there was a good reason, Morris wasn’t bringing home any trophy’s lately.
After Morris lost his last collar (presumably in a fight), Edie went and bought him a replacement collar that had a bell on it. When she bought it, we [I] never considered how it might effect his ability to hunt, but after about 3 months without any late night surprises, I was starting to get suspicious. Plus, 3 months is about the longest Morris has ever gone without losing his collar.
So this evening I decided it was time to take the bell off, and no sooner did I do that, Morris proudly strutted home grasping a freshly caught rat in his mouth, which he quickly devoured while we watched the evening news.
Sylvia was mortified, Edie wasn’t particularly happy either (she hates it when Morris kills anything), but I was so proud.
Just like me, Morris still has a few good years (he’s 12 now) left in him.

Something still seems to be missing Off Topic, Politics, Vacations

You’d think with Edie finally at home, my cold just about done with, and riding my bike for the first time in a week yesterday, I’d be feeling a lot better now, but I’m not.
Maybe the last week, without much to occupy my mind, I had way too much time on my hands to dwell on the future.
Part of the problems is, despite continued stable blood counts, and feeling mostly fine now, getting sick last week made me start to wonder, even more so, how much longer I can maintain this facade.
Then there’s the economy. Even though my savings hasn’t been effected nearly as much as many others in the US, and the rest of the world, I still can’t help but worry. Remember we all live on the same planet, and what effects one of us, has at least an indirect (if not direct) effect on everyone else.
And of course there are the elections. What direction will the electorate take us this time? Are we to continue a policy of dividing the country between red states and blue states, and the I’ve got mine, so who cares about anyone else philosophy?
Or will we move away from the divisive policies of the past 8 years, and chart a new course?
After this election is over, and no matter who is elected president, I just hope we at last take a good hard look at what we want this country to represent, and decide what is best for everyone in the US (and the world), not just what is in our own self interest.
Ok, that made me feel a lot better now, plus I just checked out Russ Roca’s website, and I got the “cover” in his latest post. Yep, that’s me on the bike. I also lifted this photo from Russ’s blog.
I never knew I was so photogenic.

Released at last Edie

Edie has officially been released from the hospital.
Her platelets are still a little low, but her white counts are back to normal, which I’m hoping means she won’t have to go on a restricted diet. She will have to be careful she doesn’t cut herself though, due to her low platelets.
All that’s left now, before I can go pick her up, is to remove the Hickman Line, which I’ve just been informed has become a little complicated. It seems the doctor won’t remove the line, until she receives a pint of blood (another complication of the low platelets).
Oh well, at least there appears to be an end to this tunnel, and things should be back to normal soon.
