As is my norm, Thursday is my day at attend Bible study at Victory Lutheran. Practicing my newly determined discipline to not go near the computer within an hour of having to be somewhere, I opted to read instead of getting up once waking this morning. Before dressing, I started to read a copy of the report from the LES Team, a comprehensive version of the slide show they presented when at my church in February. Somehow I will find a way to incorporate parts of this report into the church newsletter these next few months. Anyway, back to my discipline: Wednesday I was nearly late getting to Thrasher-Horne to meet Chris because of writing my blog posting----I hate when that happens! Once during Lent I nearly forgot to go to church because of whatever I was doing on the computer. Let us see how this works out, my new discipline, that is!

When I came out of my room, Joanne was in the kitchen making some coffee, still complaining about her sore throat. She was wondering what had become of me this a.m. because she had not heard a peep from me, and I told her I do not say the words aloud any longer when I read them....I headed toward Victory after stopping for a soda to-go, and called Mom, as usual, for this longer ride. She was surprised I had not gotten her e-mail telling me about the Air Force Band concert as well as the LWMS Rally, so I asked her to send it again. She also wondered why I had not posted anything yesterday in the blog, and I told her that I did---twice! She said, "Well, it wasn't there when I checked!", which naturally means I did not write! We had a chuckle over this, well, at least I did, and I suggested she check more than once a day. She said is too busy to be sitting in front of the computer all day, to which I say, touche! Good answer, Mom! She is busier than me, that is for sure!

Her e-mail did show up this afternoon, forwarded to me by my sister, Lori, who was the actual recipeint of the message. Both our addresses begin with the word "kim" and Mom sometimes clicks the wrong one! Good thing she did not say anything nasty about Lori in the e-mail intended for me! Plus, Mom sent a comment to one of the postings, so now I know she has caught up!

Just as Mom accused, I have sat in front of this computer from the moment I returned home, getting one of the newsletters out this afternoon. That leaves the church letter and the one for The Palace. I was unable to attend the Board meeting last night due to choir rehearsal so hope to get a rundown soon on what took place to include in the newsletter. When I got home this late morning, I had the chance to express my sympathies to the family of the man who died. They had busily been packing his belongings, starting already on Tuesday evening, and today, they head back to Miami. Such a sad, tragic situation for all involved, and even those not.

Dear Kim,
Yada, yada, yada,,,How's the cat????
Wondering in WI

Hi Linda M.:
Wow, where did that come from??? Oh, yes, you like animals...
Well, Joanne just got home a few minutes ago and we wrapped Lynx in a towel to administer the pink stuff. It was a terrible fight but we did it, Lynx nipping and struggling the entire while. Once done, she puked it up on my bedroom rug....
I have nothing else to say...
Oh Kim, now THAT made me laugh out loud! Not the actual post, but your comment to Linda about Lynx puking up the pink stuff! Dont't let any "dumb kids" traipse through your bedroom, they'll smear it across the floor for sure!
I hope poor Lynx AND Joanne feel better soon! I can just imagine the site of you and Joanne struggling with the cat. It is indeed a struggle to get a cat to take medicine.
Hugs for all!

Good morning, Suzanne!
So glad you found that amusing, the wretching of the "expensive" pink stuff, not off in private corner or on the ceramic tile---no, right in front of me on the carpet! Yech!! I don't know how you animals lovers do it! The other option was a tablet form of this medicine, and I cannot even imagine us trying to force a pill into her mouth and down the throat......
A dumb kid,
Kim
I look forward to your posts about the committee's recommendations. I'm still holding on to the possibility that we can do the trick or trunk. Maybe you can help me talk it up some more and if Paul would be the lead dude that might help to seal the deal! Have a great day!
Hi Kathy B.:
Paul as lead dude, love it! Yes, this can be something pursued, it is not too late yet!
Thanks for the encouragement about the newsletter---I will try to live up to expectations.
Let's do something this weekend!
Hugs,
Kim
Dear Kim,
I'm sorry if I offended you with the yada, yada,yada.I meant it as a Seinfeld reference.
But I did get a name mention in your blog!!
And yes,I did tune in to find out how the cat was.(I read it everyday, cat crisis or not!!)
One of my dogs needed emergency surgery last June. I never thought twice.It was the best money I ever spent.
She sleeps next to me with her head on the same pillow I do.

Dear Kim,
I'm sorry if I offended you with the yada, yada, comment.I meant it as a Seinfeld reference, nothing negative.
Yes I wanted to know about the cat, but I do read your blog everyday anyway, cat crisis or not.
But I did get a name mention in your blog!!!!

That Crazy Dog Lady from WI,
Linda M
PS. Did I tell you I had a dream last night that I was in a mental institution????? Seriously, I did.
Hi Linda M.:
I got the reference, no worries. Remember, I have a degree in Seinfeld Trivia!
Yes, I understand that some people are just nuts about their pets, and that they spend countless $$$ on animals. Sorry, but I just cannot justify anymore expense for a cat I have been trying to get rid of since August 2007!
Lynx does sleep at the foot of my bed when she is feeling like herself but now, she just lies behind my bedroom door.......yes, it is sad and I will miss her but......
Thanks for your concern for Lynx, though!
Kim
