Well it's a lovely fuckin' day out there so grabbed some me-time and took some snaps in our garden:

STAR MAGNOLIA IN BLOOM

MY APRICOT TREE IN FLOWER

I love these for desktop imaes. Really helps.

And despite the gods damned vet, Miss Jinx woke us up same as usual, feeling very fine and ate some food I mixed with powdered desc. liver pills, meaning that yes, she survived the night and is feeling good, thank you so very much for nothing, and you can shove "The Needle" up your own ass, bitch.

Okay, I'm still in "a mood" over yesterday's traumatizing ordeal and life in general, still I'm trying and still here. Take it for what it's worth.

Beyond that, better go dash for some breakfast myself; today and tomorrow are going to be piled high with things to do/deal with. Fingers crossed for this morning though, have a Holistic Healer we work with (super nice and wonderful lady) and she is bringing three of her students by in a short bit to look over our just arrived (finally cleared customs) latest and whomper batch of Singing Bowls. Store is dead in the water otherwise across the board (them's the times we live in) so this could really help us out towards gaining a bit more for new home and the possibility we'll have to carry two mortgages for awhile. No problem. In fact, I am aching for just that sort of 'trouble' if it means we can get out of here.

Okay people, wishing you all a good one and blessing all around,

Melissa

Wow, Melissa, those pictures are just beautiful... I'm so envious that your trees are flowering already; in my little corner of the world, the buds haven't even come out on the poplar trees, yet. They're trying to, but the weather just keeps messing them up...

I'm glad to hear Miss Jinx seems to be on the mend, finally. It's been a really rough haul for all three of you, I know. As for still being in a "mood" - well, everyone has days and phases like that, my friend. Considering all that you've been struggling to deal with, I think you're more than entitled to have a "mood."

I hope your weekend is less stressful for you, Melissa. You and E. certainly deserve that...

Hey, sweetie, just dropping in to see how you're feeling. Hope your weather is a lot better than ours...

Hey girl! It's been a bit since I've been by...I've been in the void for several weeks and am kinda just waking up over this last week or so. Damn, when those trials hit, they hit hard, don't they? You guys sure sound like you're getting your share lately. I'll try to remember Miss Jinx in my prayers. Anyway, just a quick visit for now but will be able to come by much more often now...finally took the plunge and changed from dial up (I couldn't be online when I was on-call)so will have no restrictions on access now...I know, about damn time...lol. Hope your week brings a few blessings your way, my friend.

Gorgeous shots! Good luck with the store ~ hope things pick up.

Good to hear you're gettin' in a bit of "trouble" Only way to get ahead... Been looking for a studio here to work and live in, TOTALLY DEPRESSING... BUT I am determined to start up my littkle business... BY THE WAY I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU... DO U know anything about EAR CANDLEING... My dr gave me a "over the counter" ear wax removal that has just blocked everything instead of helping the problem... any suggestions???? Have a great day. Shawno

Hi Melissa. Just dropping in to say hi and wish you a great weekend. I hope things are going okay with your hunt for a new home, and I hope Miss Jinx is doing okay, too...
