Disclaimer: Since this is meant to be a personal journal of our days, some information may crop up from time to time about certain persons outside of the immediate family. I will only post information that I deem to be public knowledge...stuff that's "out there". I am also very likely to post opinions...maybe this is a little inflamatory to some. Count yourself forewarned. Don't email me all ticked off, OK?

Thursday, 28 September 2000~
I am SO looking forward to my two days off next week. I told my boss I needed a sabbatical and she said, "a what?" I said "vacation". Well I'm taking it. The troll is going to daycare. I might take in a video or two, do some painting, some cleaning, some container gardening - as we have no dirt of our own. I am definitely going to eat whatever I feel like.

We are sniffing and coffcoffing around our place; Loch seems to be the only one in top speed. And he is going top speed. Barry brought the bug home from lab and has been moaning for a few days now. I am just beginning to feel a bit gakky. So we have been "doing" echinacea and Vitamin C.

I am missing Nathan a whole lot, though you wouldn't know it by my lack of letters to him. See Nathan's page. He's really one of the primary reasons that I decided to put these pages up...Nathan & Renee, Jenni, Tiffany, Barry's parents (who don't see Loch nearly enough and have been through a rough patch lately).

Loch is doing his Loch things. His new thing is "Loch what's the doggie say?" and he says "oof oof". That boy is oof oofing morning, noon and night. He seems to think that every animal that is not a cat is a dog. So he's going around oofing at cows and such. Recently, I have discovered him oofing at:

Barry's Horse-Dog. (Which is this weird little statue-bust thing that Barry found at a thrift store. Obviously the person who made this thing either had only *passing* artistic skills or was a genius, because Horse-Dog is both horse and dog. I'll try to get a picture up here. It's enough to give you nightmares.
My gargoyle statuette. I'll give Loch credit here - it IS a dog with wings.
A tree outside.

I want to say "HEY" to my old friend Leigh...I am so glad that we're "talking" again.

I close this entry with a HEARTFELT get well to R.L. and Trubee, who are both doing their own brand of fighting at this moment. To you both: May the wind be at your back during this time. I LOVE YOU BOTH!
