Average Jane Sets Some Goals

I’m beginning this week with the determination to be shockingly, stunningly, mindbogglingly efficient and productive. I’m not sure how I’ll carry through that determination in the absence of strong prescription stimulants, but I have to start somewhere.

I had a good weekend that gave me the time, sleep and companionship to shake off much of the lingering melancholy from the previous week. Last night we all had a good laugh watching the Lewis Black DVD we got my father for Father’s Day. Things are back to normal, and perhaps better than normal.

The Possum is so dramatically improved by last week’s chiropractic adjustment that it’s almost impossible to believe we had recently been considering whether she might have to be put to sleep. She looks and moves like she’s five years younger, her appetite has increased – everything about her manner and behavior marks her as feeling significantly better. She’s even renewed hostilities with her archrival, Chunky, so I know she’s back to normal.

Well, off I go to pack a UPS shipment, bake a batch of scones, and make myself semi-presentable for the office. Tomorrow: giant pumpkin plant update.

    Why DON’T you have strong prescription stimulants? Could work wonders….

    Scones are such a civilized treat. Glad the kitty is on the mend.

    >Having a brother as a Chiropractor I understand the need…but a for a possum?< Ha ha! The Possum is a cat, for those of you playing the home game. Now that she's been adjusted, though, she doesn't lumber around like a 'possum anymore, so maybe she's due for a new nickname...

    Even though I knew the possum is a cat, I still was kind of freaked out by the nickname. We have one here in Waldo that eats garbage, then throws it up at the edge of the lawn. Vermin. That’s what they are. Your sweet kitty, not so much vermin.
