		<description>It was a week ago today that my 8-year-old Sheltie-Pom had spinal surgery.  I had a headache for the 3 days, including the day of his Dr. appt till he came home.  We have been through everything together-I got him a year before my divorce &amp; he's been with me through 2 LTR's after that (that were not that great);  Now, for almost 3 years, Dan has been in our lives &amp; he loves Tenny &amp; also cares for him. ...</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Dear MJD friends,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you all so much for the hugs--I APOLOGIZE profusely for being so absent &amp;amp; not returning them (I was inside). &amp;nbsp;A great part of the last months hasbeen full of challenges with pieces of goodness, love &amp;amp; light. &amp;nbsp;I will do my best to fill you in (message me if you desire details)...I exercised &amp;amp; improved my diet all summer (yoga &amp;amp; eating regular, healthy lunch) &amp;amp; I gained at least 10 pounds--I&amp;#39;m not used to my &amp;quot;new&amp; [...]</description>

			<description>I will not be coming for&amp;nbsp;Easter. &amp;nbsp;With coming off of being this sick, it&amp;#39;s far too much riding in the car for just a few hours &amp;amp; like the Sat. after&amp;nbsp;Thanksgiving, will cripple me for days afterward. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m way too sick otherwise (&amp;amp; tired all the time) to travel more than to &amp;amp; from a doctor appt. &amp;nbsp;I don&amp;#39;t feel like my own family cares about me &amp;amp; my physical decline in this past year. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;m doing so much reading &amp;amp; talking to people in  [...]</description>

			<link>http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/my-first-baby/tenny-vet-yesterday</link>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;We had what should&amp;#39;ve been our traditional 2-week checkup yesterday (only 2 weeks overdue). &amp;nbsp;It was very sad going as 2 weeks ago, Dan saw a report on the news &amp;amp; it was on the Net that1 of the techs was murdered by 1 of the former docs there. &amp;nbsp;He had been gone from Maple Hills for a year, but what creeps me out is that HE treated both of my boys &amp;amp; both Dan &amp;amp; I liked him...*shudder* &amp;nbsp;The tech was always sweet &amp;amp; would take Tenny back to x-ray &amp;amp; was always  [...]</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;My dearest MJD friends,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am so terribly sorry but I don&amp;#39;t have the energy to hug you each individually &amp;amp; to tell you how very special you are to me &amp;amp; that your support has been immeasurable since I&amp;#39;ve been here (almost a year). &amp;nbsp;You deserve every goodness there is &amp;amp; I wish you Blessings always!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kim&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>I did good these past 2 weeks; kept my eye dr appt last week (in rainy weather) &amp;amp; taxes yesterday. &amp;nbsp;Last night though anxious I was ready (shaved &amp;amp; all) for my GYN appt with a new dr. &amp;nbsp;I got no sleep--just the usual fibro shit. &amp;nbsp;I woke up with a shooting pain in my lowe back--dammit! &amp;nbsp;There went my &amp;quot;record&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Of course I called &amp;amp; cancelled early, put heat on &amp;amp; by the time of my appt it was OK--I could&amp;#39;ve gotten it out of the way! &amp;nbsp;I did [...]</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, after waiting months to hear back from her, my former best friend from 20 years ago wrote me (after I sent her a simple &amp;quot;Why won&amp;#39;t you write me?&amp;quot;) &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;ll post her message&amp;amp; my response so I&amp;#39;m not redundant. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Why won&amp;#39;t you write to me?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;border-style: initial; border-color: initial; width: 50px; height: 50px; border-width: 0px&quot; class=&quot;uiProfilePhoto uiProfilePhotoLarge&quot; src=&quot;http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hpro [...]</description>

			<title>An empowering experience</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;My last diary entry should be after this one sequentially...oopsy :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday was an interesting day to say the absolute least. &amp;nbsp;My car was in the shop for a battery replacement. &amp;nbsp;Jimmy (the mechanic) called &amp;amp; said &amp;quot;Well your inspection is due soon...do you want me to take care of it to save you from making another appt?&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;I thought that was nice of him so naturally I asked what they charged for the whole thing &amp;amp; he gave me a quote. &amp;nbsp;W [...]</description>

			<description>Today I had a surprising burst of energy (the sun was out &amp;amp; it was a cool 54 degrees--perfect weather for Kim :) . &amp;nbsp;First thing was the recording of the audio-sode (piece of the whole audiobook) &amp;amp; Dan was totally amazing by going for DD before we went so he could have his &amp;quot;fix&amp;quot; &amp;amp; I could have a $5.00 fill up to get me through the am ;) &amp;nbsp;Loved him for that! &amp;nbsp;We did 2 run through&amp;#39;s &amp;amp; I got a few more lines--WooHOO!:woohoo: My biggest &amp;amp; only fear/con [...]</description>

			<description>I have to tell you about the interview (but it must be short &amp;amp; sweet b/c of a stupid migraine). &amp;nbsp;I just wanted to thank you so much for your wonderful words of encouragement &amp;amp; support! &amp;nbsp;I know they helped! &amp;nbsp;I wore grey pants, a white t-shirt, black suit jacket over it. &amp;nbsp;Of course yesterday was the windiest day ever &amp;amp; my hair went all over-thankfully it&amp;#39;s an easily fixable style :P I asked Dan if he&amp;#39;d drive me to alleviate my anxiety &amp;amp; he did. &amp;nbsp;I a [...]</description>

			<title>My Tenny is doing worse</title>
			<link>http://www.mdjunction.com/diary/my-first-baby/my-tenny-is-doing-worse</link>
			<description>So I told you all know what was going on with Tenny post-surgery wise...now it&amp;#39;s his constant cough/congestion &amp;amp; nobody knows what the heck it is so they charge for an office visit, x-ray &amp;amp; pills that don&amp;#39;t work. &amp;nbsp;For the past 6 months this has been the pattern. &amp;nbsp;Well, after our last appt last week &amp;amp; more pills, I finally decided (after getting input from a friend who&amp;#39;s a vet) to take this matter in MY hands &amp;amp; do the research on 1 of her suggestions, bring i [...]</description>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;I totally appreciate the support regarding my last post.&amp;nbsp; I was very hurt &amp;amp; upset.&amp;nbsp; Writing &amp;amp; crying are my tools in processing emotions &amp;amp; I was doing both.&amp;nbsp; The next dayI chatted with one of my dearest friends (who is emotionally very much like me &amp;amp; understands me) &amp;amp; told her everything--under the pretence that she not think differently of Dan (she &amp;amp; her husband have become friends of ours) &amp;amp; I wasn&amp;#39;t trying to bash him, but share my feelings.&amp;n [...]</description>

			<description>Earlier tonight I asked Dan to marry me.&amp;nbsp; It was out of the blue &amp;amp; stemmed from a conversation about sleeping together during Thanksgiving at my mom&amp;#39;s.&amp;nbsp; I was joking &amp;amp; said &amp;quot;wouldn&amp;#39;t it be funny if we told them we were married &amp;amp; had the dogs--we&amp;#39;d probably get my old room b/c it&amp;#39;s bigger.&amp;nbsp; We could get a JOP &amp;amp; simple rings...then I started getting serious &amp;amp; I asked him, looking into his eyes.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Who the hell would say no to that???

(but thankfully Dan &amp;amp; I are great again).&amp;nbsp; And it was safe enough to reschedule.&amp;nbsp; I played Book Worm for hours today--I love the challenge--got to 2,700,000 &amp;amp; lost the game late in the day.&amp;nbsp; Dan got a job opportunity through his interview--thank God!&amp;nbsp; We jus [...]</description>
