This is Snip, Dad’s horse. He’s a few years old - I cannot remember his exact age. He has a way of seeming to know what we’re saying to him. One day Mom said, “Snip, don’t you eat those Daffodils!” He smiled, shook his head up and down, leaned over the [...]
This man just gets better each year, doesn’t he?
Happy Birthday, Johnny!

My parents have been married for 39 years tomorrow. They were married at age 20, so 2/3 of their lives have been spent together. Longer than that actually, if you include the dating years.

4. J. needs a new viola because she has [...]

We’ve adjusted her basal rate of insulin and lowered her carbohydrate to insulin ratio and correction factor. Those changes should tighten up her control quite a bit.

My apologies. The title is not a reference to a beverage. It’s a reference to my state of mind for much of today.
I don’t often feel belittled or so angry that I’m visibly shaking, but today I did. This morning when I was at work, the lovely ex-husband sent me a text [...]
My kids saw their dad today. Well, two of them did. Oldest daughter decided she didn’t want to see him, so she stayed in her room. It was their first visit with him since mid-December 2007. They saw him less than 4 hours. 6:30pm to 10:00pm.
