Today I took Zach to the vet's re: a bump on his neck. The very good news is that Dr Parent didn't feel that it was something to worry about, that it is so small, that the only way to get at it would be to anesthesize the wee one, and even then, the area is so small, it isn't worth it to aspirate some cells at this time. Yay. If it should get about 3 times as big, then call back and visit. Ugh. The whim was going up to take Zachie-bear-stud to visit Gerry! He was soooooo brave and sooooo generous -- such a dearling cattie. Sigh.
Miz Olivia was very lonely with us gone...bummer royale. So, it was a hoot of a day -- not easy, but I hope it was good for Mom. ...and I've met yet another person who took their parent to HomePlace -- wow, that speaks volumes methinks. Also, we went to Dr Waite on Thursday, and he addressed every question I had. He's a gem.
Tired and fried.

I just took some stadol -- I'm feeling a bit tummy wonky but before I doze off, the latest with Mom is that she wanted to come home today again with me and it hurts. She pulled back when I told her she couldn't, so I asked if she was angry at me, and she said she was. I knew she was. It kills to be a part of all of this unhappiness she has. I also find that I am out of whack with the world and out of kilter even with myself and that can't be good. I also realized that I have been very very hard and have my walls up during the day, and in front of people, but once home, well, I can lose it at home at night, especially if Gordy is away, then I have been actually bawling -- not just crying, but wailing when I'm alone. I was sitting "indian style" and my tears ended up soaking, visibly, my pant bottom. I just really really hurt so deeply and don't see any ways out of this chasm. So, most of my posts will still be sporadic, and potentially distant or just not as typical as it had been so far.

A good thing I just love good things -- they are so scarce of late...but I'm stoked!!! I was looking through the Marketplace, a local free rag, and in the adverts, I saw one for a FREE upright piano (Mike always loves to compose on my piono when he visits). but dangit, I was told that it just was asked for a few days earlier ...then... I FOUND another freebie in the very same paper and I phoned this number PDQ, spoke to his Mom, and she told me Dean would soon to be back within the half hour, and when I asked if it would be too late to call (about 9:30). Thirty minutes later, on the dot, I phoned, Dean answered, and voila -- we're picking it up on Sunday and getting it over to Katie's for Mikeybear!!! I hope he's as thrilled as I am. Oh I'm so psyched.

Jim was here and it was just what the doctor ordered for me and Mom. Words fail.
I didn't cry in front of him, color me "numb" and /or "numb /skill" -- but that night -- I really felt the impact of his going back to Iowa. I miss my brother again.
It was wonderful to have him here. "My heart soars like and eagle..." Little Big Man

'Arrogant' American Diplomats 'Anger' People of Bahrain [Part 1] According to the Akhbar Al Khalij newspaper of Bahrain, the American Embassy there has provoked a storm of anti-American criticism for interfering in Bahrain's internal affairs, after U.S. diplomats sought a list of local imams who offer Friday prayers. According to part one of this angry two part op-ed article, Bahraini officials are far too willing to comply with Washington's demands. By Mohammad Kazem Translated By Nicolas Dagher March 5, 2006

. Gentlemen: America is no longer the leader of the Free World, and its leaders are no longer great. The rules of the game have changed, and the biggest concern of American leaders today is how to steal from the rest of the world’s population, closely monitor those people that are 'free,' and how to ignite fires around the world in the name of fighting terrorism. After giving birth to terrorism, they never miss a chance to openly proclaim that all that they do is to protect America!!! This is one of the bigger lies in their never-ending series of lies. Because of their [Washington's] stupidity, they have rubbed America’s nose in the mud, leaving U.S. citizens quivering in fear all the time, never feeling safe. Americans have become hated in all of the world’s societies because of their greed and stupidity. There is an evil team running the [U.S.] administration, especially since that gang of the neo-cons took control. Their policies are based on two pillars: -- On the international level, they harbor this crazy desire to achieve political and economical hegemony over the world’s people. -- On the domestic level: To propagate the psychology of fear in their own citizens to justify measures to 'protect' them from terrorism. We now know that this foolish policy has been catastrophic for the United States. In the end, those obsessed with power (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of Washington’s devils) will burn their country as Nero burned Rome. To be continued.
