There is now less of me to love

Last week I had two teeth cut out by an oral surgeon. Between the 2 Valium(because he thought I was the nervous type) and whatever they put in my arm to put me under, I slept for nearly 2 days. I also had a prescription for Vicodin for pain, but to get back to this world I decide to take Tylenol instead. I also thought during my time off I could take my kitty for his annual vet visit. Ha. Today I am pondering if I should do this. For some reason this time of year he gets these huge mats the size of small animals on him. I usually try to brush them out, then I have to resort to pulling on them and then cutting them out. This year is even worse because he has them on his belly too. He doesn't like being touched on his belly and last week I got a huge scratch letting me know that. If I can find the clippers that I have for my little dog Winky, I could possibly shave him down. Either way, I am going to be going into the vet's office with a cat that year after year goes in looking like a freak. I will go in saying , "The rest of the year he looks good".

Alot of people probably wouldn't think that I would like to go see The Allman Brothers/Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, but I would. I don't know how much the tickets are but they are probably expensive and the Pavillion that they are playing at is one on least favorite places to see a concert. Also I don't know if I can talk anyone I know into going with me. I once won tickets to an Allman Brothers concert. Could that happen again?

How much do events of our childhood influence our interests as adults. I am attracted to books about people decide to go it alone in the wild, and the books about travels along the Appalachian Trail. I like other books by Bill Bryson, because of his humor, but this book "A Walk In The Woods", is written about something that dream of, walking the the Appalachian Trail. When I was a child my family would take vacations in Vermont. We would often stay at Harvey's Mountain View Farm In Rochester, Vermont. When I was about 8, my family decided to walk part of the Long Trail in Vermont. The the Appalachian Trail joins the Long Trail there. We walked from Brandon Gap to Middlebury Gap, Vermont. Iit was supposedly equal to walking 50 miles on flat land. I do not know this as a fact. I was just a kid. I remember sometimes you had to climb to get up to the next part of the trail. I remember asking my mom if I could crawl, because my little legs were too tired too walk anymore. I also remember my dad saying something like getting a divorce for my mom getting him into this. I did finish the walk, and they (suprisingly) are still married.

I didn't read finish reading my very overdue library book or watch the DVD I took home to watch this weekend. Instead I spent most of the day watching the Katharine Hepburn movie marathon and enjoying the cool weather.

This week.. sometime on Thursday a woman ran into my workplace looking for a bathroom. I did not find out about this until later, when inquiring about the" Out Of Order" sign on the bathroom door. It seems she didn't make it, and left a trail on the carpeting. I spent the next couple of days hopscotching about at work trying to avoid the brown spots like a chess player trying to avoid checkmate. Wouldn't you know the carpets were cleaned on Monday.
