Last night's vote in the House of Commons made me feel extremely proud to be a Canadian.

In spite of my dislike of Trudeau in his last four years in office, his Charter of Rights and Freedoms seems to work, even though he himself said it was gutted because of the notwithstanding clause. smile

Don't e stressed going on vacationmy friend, I know all too well how easy it is to hole it up and hide in the bedroom. But go for it! The worst thing in life to live with is regret.

How's the kitty feeling? Mine is muchos sick.

What I found out today:

If one rides one's bicycle at twilight through a woody path, and one is going fast enough that one may be breathing heavily, specifically with one's mouth open, one is very likely to either swallow or inhale (or more likely both) an assortment of insects, some big, some little.

This one probably knew that from when he was a child,...

I'm on a diagonal pane of glass, sliding downwards and there's nothing I can grab or hold onto without getting cut at the very least, and without losing my fingers at the worst. And it's more than my fingers.

It's windy again, but not really really hot today. I'm going to enjoy this evening's cycling.

I thought the Prime Minister was going to weasel out of holding a vote on same-sex marriage this session, but it looks like he won't. He's gained back a little (just a little, mind you) of my respect. Now, if he would just resign, he'd gain a lot more...

It's very hot and very windy. Last year in June it rained all month and we were lucky if the temperature got above 20. Right now it's 31, and tomorrow the forecast is for 33. I think I'm ok with that for a little while. smile

I love my new mouse. It clicks like a charm. love

i'm taking the "opthalmic dispenser's" course thru red river. its 2 years, 1 nite a week, plus a minimum of 20 hours per week under the supervision of a licensed optician (thats already fine). its pretty ideal. i can still work, and once i'm done i'll get paid way more for doing what i'm doing already... plus i can get a job at another optical dispensary and finally get the fuck outta walmart. whatever tongue
yay for scroll-y buttons!!

Happy mouse playing! smile

I was wondering something. It occurred to me while I was cycling a couple of weeks ago and now I think of it whenever I'm out riding. If dogs see their master as the alpha male or alpha female of the 'pack' so to speak, shouldn't they see other humans as potential rivals in the pack? If that's not the case, because of the fact...

I'm glad your kitty is feeling better. It's always a huge relief when that happens, and they are okay. smile

No, it's not that strange a thing to run through your head. Dogs are all very different in my experience. Some listen to anyone, others listen to only their masters, and yet more listen to no one at all. We raised chihuahua's and rottweiler's and dobermans. (Yeah, I know, quite the mix.) I think dogs are threatened/territorial around their humans when other dogs come near, maybe a protective 'i'll kick your ass' gesture. I have honestly not encountered a lot of dogs who get along with strange ones, there must be something protective. I've never heard the alpha male/female owner theory. Thinking back our own dogs were actually quite protective of us, but since we were on a big ass farm not many people were around anyway. Strangely enough, we never had a single vicious doberman or rottweiller in all the years we bred and raised them. In fact, they would hide from strangers, very very funny. People refused to leave their car when they'd see one of them, meanwhile they were hiding under the porch shivering until they knew the stranger wasn't gonna get them. the chihuahua's were the vicious little buggers. Though, I'm lying, the doberman and rottweiller we kept as pets rather than sold, both owned seperately of each other, only ever went after one person, and it was the same neighbour when he'd stop by. Turned out he was a pedophile amoung other things. The dogs had good taste as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, I digress, and more than likely didn't help at all. Sigh. It's hot here. How about there? <g>

My friend Jenny Jenny's birthday celebration went well, except for the extremely slow service at my favourite restaurant. The food was the best, as usual, though.

And I have a new roof over my head and over my car's head. And my cat's head, too.

Really strong winds tomorrow, so I may just go out to the lake with my bike instead of staying in...

As it turns out, Ozzie is having problems with his kidneys, but the vet is giving me some little pills for him as well as some special food. Needless to say I'm a little relieved, except I felt like killing the little guy today when I got home for lunch and he had left another gift for me at the front door. I don't get...

katblue:
Thanks for the hugs. *hug* I hope yer kitty gets better with the pills. DOn't worry, I have a sick kitty too, and he will not use the box if he's sick, but leave me little presents too. Maybe when the pills kick in and Ozzie's feeling better his box will seem more inviting to him. Could be his age though too. *hug* Whenever I leave home for a day or more, my sicky cat, merlyn, barfs EVERYWHERE. It's great. Cats are so talented at revenge.

I took my Ozzie to the Vet today and he did some tests on him, including a blood test and a urine test and he told me he'd call me tomorrow with the results. Well, I got home from work today and he had already called and left a message to call him tomorrow morning. I have this awful awful awful awful feeling. He would...

The conference was too short and I have to go to work on Monday. Actually, the conference was just right, but the time off work was too short. It rained, it was sunny, I got a burn, I got acclaimed President, I made a short speech, I quoted Elvis, I met up with a black bear on the cycling trail, I rode a horse, I...
