Karen's headed off to the wilds of D.C. for the night. She has a meeting tomorrow, then will return tomorrow late. So a quick trip. Phryne is doing really well, has mellowed out and is being really sweet again. I'm tired. Probably an early night. Maybe make a stew tomorrow? Love and hugs to you all.

Hope you all had a fun Halloween. We stayed home and didn't do anything. Poor Karen's a bit sick, so isn't feeling up to much. Fortunately, we didn't have anyone stop by. Phryne was especially cute and snuggly last night. She's a bit freaked out today, so I'm trying to give her plenty of space. Nothing else going on but paying bills and calling insurance...

It was a very difficult week, but we seem to be through the worst of it and Phryne is not mauling my hands as much any longer. My hands are still healing, and the last really bad bite I got was Saturday night over a disputed bedtime. She is still biting, but no blood has been drawn the last 2 days. Hopefully we are moving...

I really want to hide in bed under the covers.

Okay, onward.

So yesterday's total was 16 bites that bled. I'm not even totaling the ones that didn't bleed. She was definitely in an aggressive mood. Today we have started with 2 more bloody bites. :-( This then alternates with her climbing inside my sweater and being cute. One of my pinkies still is not quite working right, she definitely bit a nerve, and I heard a...

Oh where has my sweet Phryne gone? Trying to do laundry and received 4 bloody bites on my hands while trying to wrangle her back to her cage. My right pinky has kinda seized up from one of the bites and doesn't really move correctly now. Ugh. And I was trying to give her a treat in the cage too.

Ugh, Karen's gone on a trip and not returning until Sunday. That leaves me with Phryne, who has become the bitey-bird to me. My hands have lots of healing beak marks where she has been drawing blood on me lately. Have to admit, it's getting me a bit down. I'm just hoping she will outgrow this. I'm also making sure to be verrrry respectful of...

Every year we rent a large house at the beach for Karen and I, her parents, her sister, a friend Beth and 3 dogs. It's always expensive because it has to have a pool (so the dogs can swim in it) and an elevator for her parents. I'm allergic to dogs, so during the week I claim one chair and the dogs aren't allowed on...

Wow, okay, I've been absent for 2 months. Didn't think it was that long. Well, had some struggles, was down a bit, started new meds and am doing great. Just got back from a week at the beach and am trying to catch up. I hope you all are doing fabulous. Love and hugs to all.

Happy 24th Anniversary to Karen, my love, my life, truly my everything.

31 years ago I met her for the first time and was smitten, even though, then, I was engaged to someone else. Fortunately she broke it off.

29 years ago we went on our first date! Although she did not want to admit we were dating, I hung in there. :-)
