Daisy's PMS 2008-03-12 12:49:05 I noticed a couple of days ago that I was in a really bad mood and its lasted the last couple of days and I mean I have been grouchy.Grrrrrrrr.....Then I figured out why....Stupid me I did not go and get Daily spayed...because why?Because I am the queen of procrastination...so much so that I irritate myself let alone others.Okay...so as Daisy
's little Cookie started getting ready for the big event... I kept saying tomorrow, and then again, tomorrow...Now she is in total bloom...dripping everywhere....so why not just wait and catch it the next time right?I have to say that Daisy's entry into dog woman hood has had an effect on the entire family.I'm attributing my bad mood to having PMS for Daisy...I'm serious!Pinky can't eat because although he is neutered, he still has some of those ole ho
Saturday Night...Ho Hum 2008-03-16 08:48:53 Here I sit....it's a gloomy night, looks like its gonna rain.Another week, and tomorrow, I'm going to sit through a six hour lecture listening to a translation of a Chinese classic regarding clinical application of Traditional Chinese Medicine...O boy...fun..NOT! But this is a professor that I really respect, and I need to pay homage.So whats new this week....I have record sales on my herbal site, in fact, its turning into a regular job, and its helping me pay for repairs around this old broken down mansion. I just bought screens. This is to protect me from the monster flies that have transmuted into super flies and have no fear of fly swatters or fly spray. Last year they just about carried me away, it was more than annoying...and when they buzzed around my head, I thought I was going to Read more:Saturday

This So Sucks 2008-03-19 11:47:53 This is what I have suspected...however seeing it in actual hard numbers really sucks.Its the nature of women, in the work place, not to want to support another woman if she is perceived as competitive and aggressive. Women and power seem to be a problem for men as well as other women.For some reason...and I see it with my own family... for an example my aunt Patty talks about Hillary Clinton as being shrill...Augggg I was called shrill l when I working my way up the corporate ladder. I had to endure all kinds of personality analysis that I do not see going on with my male counter parts.Whats wrong with voting for a woman anyway? A black man is better than a white woman?This whole thing is really shitty.CBS News(story; results) "Thirty nine percent of registered voters said a woman runni
The Power of The Cookie 2008-03-18 18:09:37 I believe that we can always learn something from our dogs...and Daisy's recent entry in woman hood has given me a lot of food for fodder.I have been amused while watching her trying to woo her three pack members.First she started with Pinky and she finally figured out that he was worthless, and she moved her dance right on over to Orbit.With her tail held high, and her Cookie
saluting Orbit, she then figured out that his attempt was futile...With her obvious disenchantment, and becoming more desperate, she went to the bottom of the barrel and began to try her feminine wiles on That Bad Dog Chico Martini.Of course Chico, in his slow moving, slow motion, clumsy style gave it his best shot..he hoisted his fat ass on top of her, giving her a couple of dry humps....And thenDaisy cried out
Daisy's Bad Day 2008-03-22 22:58:39 Daisy would like to dedicate this post to Lone Chatelaine because she "so relates" to having an emotional time of things this weekend...and this is Daisy's way of coping.After two weeks of receiving dry humps....she is just through with the whole mess...so she decided that she was just going to retreat to her own bed and not come out... Honestly, Daisy has never done this before. She actually pulled this small bed over her head and burrowed under. I think she is trying to escape that Bad Dog Chico Martini whose continual admiration has gotten on her very last nerve. Daisy wants Lone Chatelaine to know that there is always room for two!

Celebrating The End? 2008-03-21 22:51:36 Today I went over to my neighbors house, an an old lady that lives by herself. I went over there to ask her to please cut her trees because they're overgrowing into my yard, so much so that they are causing the fence to be pushed to the ground.Anyway, I know she's not been there for awhile, because someone who was feeding her cats had told me that she was in the hospital.So when I actually saw someone parked in the driveway, I jumped at the chance to get these trees cut back because they're ruining my fence.As I walked up the stairs I could feel that I had walked into the end of something, and that something was the actual ending to someone's life.I looked past the open door into the living room and I saw boxes full of old stuff that was junkey and dusty and old...But to the old lady th
I QUIT! 2008-03-29 11:14:40 I had to post this thought...I am addicted to political blogs...but I've stopped now because of the nasty nasty tone. Whom ever someone supports does not call for another person to belittle them or call their candidate nasty names. There is not right to this, it's just WRONG.As a result of all of this, as someone who was looking forward to the election, and thought it was an exciting time for the democratic party, I'm now not interested in participating with the process.I am officially handing in my resignation letter;To all those nasty Hilliary and Obama people; I QUIT!I'm considering the ole guy because of how nasty you people conduct your selves. Shame on all of you nasty bloggers.
Skies The Limit 2008-03-27 23:56:50 I'm totally exhausted....but the good kind.My www.pawhealer.com is shipping over $2000 per week.I've developed a great customer base, and I'm growing almost daily. I am going to hire someone when I hit 3K...Until then....I look UGLY...no haircuts, no eyebrow waxing, hardly any gym time and a little chubby.Between school and finals, my giant old dirty broken down mansion, and the dogs that act as I'm the entertainment director, as well as chef...There's nothing left for me.Ahhhhhhh...But its all good for right now, because I know this little home based business is going to be a much bigger entity, and I'm totally excited about what I see ahead of me.I just wish I could get a little balance....

An Uncomfortable Situation 2008-03-30 09:04:44 I find this situation very uncomfortable...I have this 30 year old supervisor on one of my clinic shifts.From the beginning he has been difficult, and then I noticed something; He liked the young girls.That wouldn't of bothered me except that he was actually incredibly rude to me and I was treated different than the one younger girl on the shift.Look...I don't look for those type of things, because I'm secure in who I am. But this problem finally came to a head when a younger member of my shift, a male, gave me his opinion that it was quite obvious that this punk of a supervisor was thinking from between his legs, and that it was clear that he liked younger girls.I have sucked it up for 13 long weeks, and then I got to thinking, why should I have to deal with this YoHos preference for the
I Made It 2008-04-04 21:53:09 I just barley made it through my week of finals, my 9th semester now completed. I am bone tired...I feel old and exhausted this week.I do, I really do....I last posted about the supervisor that was a "cookie monster"....Such an uncomfortable situation, the clinic supervisor neglected to tell him that I was off the shift, so Monday night he came looking for me, and I had to tell him that there had been a change...This was no big deal compared to what some women have to endure, but it does make ya kinda paranoid. People don't like to hear that the guy everyone likes is a pervert....denial is a powerful emotion.A couple of other women came up to speak to me about the situation, and they had their own stories to tell about it, but of course they wanted to stay out of the situation....but they
Should I or Shouldn't I? 2008-04-06 23:27:33 Today I had to move most of my downstairs furniture completely out of the house because my wood floors are getting done.My "stuff" has gotten old, just like that old lady's " stuff" next door that I blogged about last week...My things have just become an accumulation of old"stuff" that no one would want, not even me.I even felt like that lady with her "stuff"...a little random as I looked on to my worthless belongings.Anyway, I'm thinking of just throwing it all away....because when I put that "stuff" outside, it was as if I had shed some skin, I felt lighter and more free.Most of the "stuff" were things I had acquired while living with my last partner...and yet still just about everything I own carries along with it, memories of him.It's been so long now, and yet it seems like just y
Just One Word 2008-04-09 20:29:57 CHAOSI can't say much more than that....we are having the wood floors redone.....it started out as a freebe, because the contractor did a really bad job a couple of years ago and I had been buggin him to redo them...he finally did.But its turned into a complete redo...and very expensive. That has me wigged out a bit.Next, me the dogs and my herbal pharmacy and business are camping out in two rooms. A nightmare.I have to bribe them with bones because they are going nuts because of no walks...Life is not right over here at Sassafras St.I had a take home final left I had to do....it ruined my week because I kept thinking I had to do it and I never would do it...Finally did it...AHHHHHH much better.Orbit is sick and won't eat. We went to the beach and he drank a ton of salt water and pucked fo
Good By Sweet Orbit 2008-04-12 10:29:16 With a heavy heart I write this good by to my SweetOrbit
. Yesterday I had to let him go....I put him down at 6:30 last evening.I miss him...My shadow who had become a part of my space. It feels so empty now, the vastness of him now gone from our lives.Funny how much they become a part of who you are and who you've been. Orbit was there with me during some of the darkest times of my life. Always at my side....and now he's gone.As simple as that....gone.Its been a hard three days, but I feel better now. He got sick very quickly and he was suffering at the end, I had to let him go, for his sake, because I know he would not leave me, and would of held on until the bitter end.Good By Sweet Orbit....Don't wait for me, go....play....and be happy. Don't worry about me, I'll be okay I'll see you o
They Come In Three's They Say 2008-04-17 10:07:46 Sigh......It can stop now.Last Sunday my mom was acting kinda weird. She has chronic back pain, and it for some reason was getting worse.I knew she was getting into trouble so I called my brother, or I should say my brother's mother in law. Me and my brother have not spoken in seven years....YupAnyway, my mom never listens to me...So I sent in the big guns.She didn't listen to him either.Sunday night, early Monday morning she called 9-11....She had taken too much pain medication and had fallen.She is now in the hospital with two hairline fractures on both hips.The doctor told her that because she does not take care of herself that her bones are brittle. Basically she is in bad shape due to bad lifestyle decisions.Yes....that's my mother. The more I told her she needed to exercise, the more Read more:Three
Why Does It Have To Be... 2008-04-18 21:19:07 I know I seem morbid, but I can't help myself. Maybe its because Orbit died, and the finality of his going has really hit home for me.Or maybe its because I got a glimpse of the road ahead....I hope not...Give me the morphine and let me go.I went to see my mom, she is in a nursing/rehab hospital trying to recover.She asked me to go find her a candy bar....and as I was walking and observing the other patients, it occurred to me that they were all old.So this is where old people go to die.....in rehab hospitals. It was so odd to me to look around and see this. It never occurred to me that this is how it all ends.....There was one particular woman that was lying in her bed with an oxygen tube, her head was thrown back and she had an expression of horror permanently marked on her face. She was
The Post Office Walk 2008-04-24 21:02:16 What have been doing...nothing but selling herbs and packing them, sending them out and shipping, day, after day, after day. My school break is just about over, and I never even saw it. Yesterday I did one of my post office walks....the last time I blogged about it, I was marveling at the quantity of envelopes that I had requested...this is about two weeks ago. At that time I was excited that I was up to 50 packs.Yesterday, I was out again, and had to go ask for more, this time I had to request over 100 envelopes in which to ship my orders.Yes...this journey is becoming truly amazing. I am watching my life change overnight.When I went to acupuncture school,( a second career) I wasn't sure it was really "me"...I was missing the business side of things....I was quite worried because it did n
Something Happened On The Way To Beauty Shop 2008-04-26 22:21:21 I STOPPED GOING!It all started around last summer...I was sick of my hair. Sick of going and getting it cut, and not happy with the style...and not happy with the color etc etc etc.So, I said screw it, and just took the scissors to my hair and just cut it all off. I really go into it, I even shaved it down to the scalp. It was liberating....I liberated myself from my hair....Next...I had acrylics...the kind that is all white and they do the gel thing on them? Out the window with those....got sick of sitting there and had them all taken off...I felt free...not to mention I'm saving a nice chunk of change.I took it another step....no more pedicures. Why bother?I'm even letting a slight roll of fat take residence in my mid section....however thats where I draw the line.Some people might say I Read more:Beauty
Not A Good Daughter... 2008-05-01 09:59:57 When I was young, my mom had MS...she got the kind that left her completly paralyzed and then she would slowly regain her motor functions....she had about four of these episodes and they started when I was about 4 and went through until I was 12.The biggest problem was not the MS but it was her eventual drug addiction to sleeping pills. They gave them to her like candy when she was in the hospital so that she could sleep.My mom was not a happy woman with her marriage, so between the MS and her unhappiness, she dove into the world of drug abuse. After many horrible years and finally a divorce, my mom stayed cleared of drugs...Until just recently...She had that fall that cracked her hips...she was in pretty bad shape because she has never eaten properly along with the fact of most of her lif Read more:Daughter
And The Beat Goes On..... 2008-05-04 08:59:07 Its so hard to blog about things that happen to you when there is years and years and years of history that lead up to a single event.So how to frame the post without it becoming a novel makes it difficult.Let me try;I have not spoken to my brother for over seven years. However, due to the fact that my mother has become seriously ill, we have had some interactions, however not face to face.My brother is very wealthy, and that's an understatement. So when my mom started having all her problems, he pretty much started taking over her care...in every respect. He has always been one to take control, and I mean that in every sense of the word.How do I talk about the years leading up to our split...how do I talk about the day when he had me taken away by the police and had me put into "observati
Beware Of...... 2008-05-09 09:06:06 Such a crappy experience but an eye opening one....So there I was trying to help MY mother and this swarm of non speaking people were buzzing around me.For some reason, the minute I walked in there was tension in the room. I'll never know if my brother had warned them of me...of what I'm not sure, but I have an inkling that it could of been about my Chinese medicine.I'll never know, because I never intend to see those people again.So there I was, looking at my mother's tongue, taking her pulse, getting ready to do some mild acupuncture. I was also going to suggest that we get her back to the hospital because it was apparent she was very ill.In the state of California, an acupuncturist is considered a primary care giver, so we have to refer to acute care if the situation merits it. In the Read more:Beware
What's New 2008-05-18 21:47:21 I hired my first employee.It's become that busy. So busy that I barley have time for much of anything. My pet empire is on the rise.I ordered up 200 shipping envelopes this week. That's a big jump again.I have my labels for my product. But I have to admit that I'm a bit intimidated to call on veterinarians. They can be so stuffy, and closed minded. I have a big problem with that, because my herbs
Big Thoughts 2008-05-23 11:00:22 The other day I received a note form one of my very nicest customers. Her dog was just diagnosed with a serious disease.This is a wonderful person that takes her dog to every specialist there is for veterinary medicine, and skies the limit when it comes to pet health care. She loves her dogs very much.Suddenly, this sweet dog comes down with heart failure......after the multiple vet visits, and on
Little Thoughts 2008-05-22 23:41:42 Today I hired my second employee. No sooner did I have the first one, but the business has grown and I am still working non stop.Another milestone; 2 employees.....On my way up to 4K weekly sales...thats a lot of friggin herbs, and I do alot of non-stop talking.All my employees are like me, they are in acupuncture school...so they love what we're doing here. The new girl will help me on the phones
A Make-Over... 2008-05-24 22:30:02 The new logo and the label templet...the label is really cute because when seen bigger the cats eyes have a little green and the butterflies have green.
Poor Dr. Pink Pinkerton 2008-05-30 22:36:24 So here I am...8 solid hours a day on the phone talking with people about how to heal their dog....And I am noticing that Dr. Pink Pinkerton's eye is not doing so good...I'm thinkin' he's got a great immune system it will take care of itself.....day after day goes by and the eye continues to drip and then it started looking really weepy....Okay.....I guess I have to do something.....my own friggin
Another Week 2008-06-07 08:24:59 I'm always thinking of writing to my blog.....but it seems as if there is not much ever to post.But I have been having an inkling of a thought...and it bothers me.It seems that no matter where I'm standing in life.....its never good enough.Those childhood voices that live in the back of my head provide me with a daily litany of critique."I'm too fat'"I'm not growing my business fast enough""The ho
O Boy..... 2008-06-12 22:00:16 I'm feeling like I'm in a rut, so when one of my patients asked me to go to this whatever it is...I said yes.Hmmmm...I don't do yoga, I don't meditate, I'm not into Goddess, (whatever that is)...I wonder how long I will last.But who knows, maybe it will be fun. God knows I could use some peace........ Dances of Universal Peace the second Saturday of every month A spiritual practice to open your
Another Milestone 2008-06-13 22:43:27 I haven't posted about the growth of PawHealer because I have been bone tired. But tonight when I came home and checked my orders....I had to sit back and I had to take note.....and I had to let it settle in.....This little business is now doing $4k per week. That is $16K per month, and a run rate of $192K a year.Sometimes I post about the negative things I feel, well tonight I'm posting about a
Spiritual Singing 2008-06-15 14:40:56 I don't know why I thought I could do something like this........because I can't ever remember words to songs, and I have always been that way. I have a really keen memory for everything else but not a song.So here we are in this small group of eclectic people, and it all seemed so simple. They were chants that we were to sing as we did some sort of folk dancing.We were suppose to look at that oth Read more:Singing
See The Light.... 2008-06-27 10:09:50 This was given to me from one of my favorite dog people. I had to steal it, too cute! No matter what situations life throws at you... No matter how long and treacherous your journey may seem... Remember, there is a light at the end of the tunnel! You're laughing aren't you?
