Happy Birthday to my sister Kim.  I tried to call her tonight to wish her a happy birthday, but there the answering machine picked up.  I sang to her and wished her a happy birthday.  Perhaps her husband and sons took her out to eat on her birthday.  Miracles do happen.

I felt so much better today than yesterday that there is just no comparison.

School went okay.  My desk was a disaster, and I putzed away at it when I had a moment free throughout the day.  It doesn't look too bad now, but it doesn't look that great either.

On my way home from school, I stopped at the Carriage House Animal Hospital and picked up Komet's ashes.  The office cat, Benjamin, rushed over to the counter and leapt up to greet me.  What a handsome boy he is!  A pale silvery gray with big green eyes and white "mascara" around his eyes.  He showered me with love and affection and was overjoyed to have my affection lavished on him in return.  I needed a kitty fix today.  

My little girl is back home again--as ashes in a tiny metal box.    I have been torturing myself tonight, looking at all my pictures of her.  She was such a pretty girl.  She contorted herself in such odd positions.  There was always love and often mischief in her eyes. 

I stopped at the post office before I came home.  My order from Woman Within was in.  I got a pale blue jacket and two thermal long-sleeved tee shirts--one lilac colored, and the other a minty green.  I will wear one of them to school tomorrow.  My long coat was not in the package.  *pout*

I was on the phone with either Theresamae or Lisa all evening.  When I got upstairs, I made a cool pipe cleaner bee.  The glue holding on his eyes is drying right now.  I am pretty happy with the way it turned out.

I have to get some pictures of these critters.

I'm having way too much fun with them.

That's about it for me tonight.  I hoped to finish the pink gingham dress I started last night, but I'm tired and I don't feel much like doing anything right now.

We'll see, I guess.
