Stella passed this past Wednesday, at 4:30. She was 21. She had melted away to almost nothing, poor little thing. I’ll write more when it’s not so fresh. Related Images:

iTunes has The Seeker on special for $4.99
In 1973, Susan Cooper’s book, The Dark is Rising, (book two in a series of the same name), delighted readers and also won the Newberry Award. In 2007, Walden Media got their hands on the movie rights and made a horrible version. I wrote my longest blog post about the differences between the movie and the book. Save your $5 and don’t even bother buying the movie or renting it. Unless you want...

I had to. I just had to. Okay, maybe I didn’t but it was too cute to pass up. What do you do when you find reindeer antlers and santa hats in the store? You take them out to the barn and put them on horses, of course! Only Kasane was brave enough to wear the evil antlers with bells. She was very good about it. Isis wanted nothing to do with them...

The car was at the shop for three days, mostly because they didn’t have time in the schedule to work on the car. I finally got the car back today. The alternator and a battery cable had to be replaced. The car did pass inspection, though. It was way more than...

Well not so much. More like a scary outting in which my car dies on the Interstate and then miraculously works long enough to get off of an exit (road where I live) and park the car in a pharmacy parking lot. The car has been running a little higher RPM than normal, but the higher RPM comes down once the car warms up. That’s been the only thing that seemed strange today....

Stella had her second visit to the vet this week for fluids. She lost 2 ounces, back down to 3 pounds 12 ounces (she was 3 pounds 14 ounces). She seems to be feeling a little better. She’s been more playful over the past day or so. The vet gave me two cans of prescription kidney disease diet food for Stella. I’ve been feeding the wet food (or rather leaving some in a...
