Getting excited!!

by Kittyinaz | Nov 25, 2012 | Uncategorized

So here is the puppy I just got the email today agreeing to let us have him. I am waiting for the lady to get back to me about how we are going to pay for him and when he is going to be here.

Now the fun for my hubby and I starts, looking around the house and trying to make it puppy safe, especially our room since he will be in there at night. And we can’t forget the naming process!! His name now? Tank. Nope not for me. I keep accidently calling him Trevor. My Husband wants to name him from the show Red vs Blue. Either Caboose or Church. Nope. But isn’t he freaking cute?? I love them this age, but I love them when they get bigger. It will be fun to have him around. Miss Princess will have a shock of course.

Thanks for all the hits yesterday. I am still working on moving music around. I took a break (I’m in the It’s) and turned on Pandora. I am also getting used to the keyboard. I am having problems since I had one of the first laptops with the number keyboard built in, so they have things in different places. The control key is the most different. And BOY do I use that!!!! The two monitors have been interesting since I am not having to flip screens. The only thing I am flipping for is the mail screen.

I am going to work some more with iTunes because I am excited to work on Access projects that have been requested, and to get this and Princess Brigant’s site up where we are wanting them. And I really am wanting to edit Tea Shoppe and get that moved and posted. Of course In The End, I am chomping at the bit to write some more!!! I just gotta get iTunes set, then move the documents from the old thumb drive. (It’s starting to break. It won’t stay extended.) So I will be working on all that. Love new computers, hate all the work you gotta do to get them to your level. Luckily the puppy will be the earliest at 12/10.

Have a great night, I will be posting In The End for FanFiction soon.

Amen!!!

So I am trying to help another WordPress user with their site.  And I am clicking on things to try to see the settings I have to try to help them out.  And lo and behold, I found a way to change my Header.  Yeah!!! For some unknown reason, they don’t have it under themes.  No they have it somewhere else.  But above was one of the choices I found, but my background just didn’t look quite right for me to keep it permanently.

Yes, I am going to try to work on editing the next chapter.  I admit, I have not been feeling good, and quite frankly, I am getting pretty sick and tired of being sick.  Thankfully it is not the same thing that plagued me for 18 years, but I feel not good and can barely move without feeling sick.  Hopefully it is one of two things, one I really don’t care about and the other would make me happier than a pig in mud.  (A little southern saying for you guys…  what can I say after 10 years, some of it sinks in.)

My Beta has also been working some freaking LONG hours, and I have told her that her health is more important than chapters.  And I stand firm on this.  No one’s health should be worth more than a story.

I am off to take some yucky pills to help settle my stomach and once that is fine, I will be back on here.  I have alot of stuff to be doing.  Just wish my computer can keep up!!! It keeps freezing all the time.  I cannot wait to get the new one.  Maybe it can keep up with me typing at least!!!!!!

Yesterday

by Kittyinaz | Nov 2, 2012 | Uncategorized

Yesterday the world lost a comedian, a man who loved to make his family laugh.

Yesterday my family lost a loved one, a man who showed his love to each and everyone of us is his own fashion.

Yesterday I lost one of the men who helped define me, a man who patiently listened to me and took the time to help in whatever fashion he could.

Yesterday that man remembered all the above.

As most of you know my Grandfather passed away yesterday during his sleep.  I will tell you that was one of the hardest phone calls for my husband to take since he had gotten to know my grandfather well.

My Grandfather has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and during the past month, had gotten worse.  I am lucky that I got to spend a week with him, and have some good memories to replace the last one I had of him which frankly scared me.

Yesterday I cried with the rest of the family before the Great Granchildren were brought over.  It is truly amazing to me the wonders of them.  They were all too young to realize what is happening.  David was fascinated by the fish my Aunt had, and prompted the first real laugh not tinged by grief when one of the fish took of to intimidate the shark.  His screams of “Fish! Fish! Fish!!” made us all laugh.  And for the rest of the day, Caidence, David, Jaxom and Baby Luke who was born only a week earlier, cheered up that household.

Last night when we had gotten home, I cried.  I told my husband it seems like it just didn’t end and that I was hardly keeping up with it.  I had forgotten for a second that Bear was dead and was looking forward to being home and bring greeted by him.  I also had thought I had grieved when I realized my Grandfather was gone and the man who looked like him was a shell of the awesome person I called Grandfather.

This was not true.  I had held out hope in my heart that there would be a miracle cure that would give me back my Grandfather.  I just had to be patient.  So when that call came at 2am, I was shocked.  He was gone.  No second chances, no miracle drug.

I went with the family to the hospital, but refused to see him, wanting my memories to be of him alive.  I was outside and listened to my family breakdown.

Afterwards, we went to my Aunt’s house in a state of shock.  Making fun of everyone’s alarms for them getting to work, my husband winning with the earliest.  Then became the chore of calling in.

The rest of the day passed in a haze, old friends reconnecting in the tragedy, our family finding out how rich we are in friends and family.

Even though I posted here that he had passed away and that I will not be posting a chapter this week, I admit I still had not admitted it.  When I was asked many times if I had let my family know, the Larricks, I finally admitted it.  I wrote the email fine, but putting it out on Facebook, was the last line.

Alzheimer’s is a nasty disease.  It actually makes you lose the person twice.  And like me, many retain that hope that something will come along and give you back the person it took.  My family has requested in lieu of flowers being sent, that donations be made to Alzheimer’s foundation in his name.  There is a tribute page we have made for him, Alzheimer’s Association to make it easier.   Our family originally did a goal for a $100.  We have raised that in hopes that we can help other families not to go through this.

Thanks for listening to me, and I really appreciate all the wishes for my family.  Right now, I am trying to get back to normal, but there is no normal for me right now.  So I will settle with dealing.

Wendy.
