I’ve talked Pat into getting a dog. Alright, so he’s making me wait until we get back from vacation in July, but still, that’s not so very far off. At this point, I think he just wants me to stop begging for a baby. What with me having been sterilized, it was buy me a [...]
This ‘N’ That
Posted February 10th 2012 by kmarrsAlright, so I am way over due to write something, so I am going to touch base with a general check-in. My blood pressure meds are working well, as long as I don’t miss a dose. But I keep some in my purse so I hopefully won’t miss any. In the event of a break [...]
