    The REO Lounge - Part II

    Yeah, it's crazy! It might just be the season, too, but I'm supposed to have thinnish 100% cotton socks, and I have to wear them all the time with the leg brace, so I need quite a pile. We found a place that sells them online finally for a bit cheaper by the bunch, but still. Like $100 for a...

    She's still my baby, all right. =) She's getting a little lumpy in her old age but we've decided that unless her bumps are dangerous, we're just going to leave them alone so she doesn't have to spend time in a cone or anything - she's spent enough time doing that already in her life.

    Fortunately some of the things are partially covered by the government, and some, Brad's insurance will cover some of. So it's not the end of the world bank-wise. Just some of the silliest things are more expensive than you'd think... 100% cotton knee socks. Who'd have thought they were so...

    They better be good - it costs too much for them to be bad at it! :laugh:

    It took her a bit of getting used to because of the stairs, and the park out back has lots of jumping up and down spots, which she was totally not used to. She had to use some anti-arthritis meds at first, but she doesn't need them anymore, and runs around like a bananahead now. 12 years old...

    Thank you so much, Rhaps. It really means so much to me. =) You rock, as usual!! Love you so much. =) As always, you are welcome to bounce over to our place any time - our place is small but we can all sleep on the floor with the cats. ;)

    I will, and I'll tell Brad, even though it'll give him a swelled head. =D

    Thanks, Rhaps. =) I knew you would understand. It's just kind of weird to get used to the whole idea of a disability. I'm used to chronic illness, but not this! =D What a dork I am. =) I have to learn how to use all this stuff properly too, so it's keeping me busy. And tired! THE...

    I have a flickr set of them here: Toronto Haus - a set on Flickr. They're pretty crappy - taken on my phone cam which STINKS. I'll get Brad to take some better pics sometime. They're also taken when I was shaky after cleaning up a lot. The roof is really nice - there's the picnic table and...

    YAY! The more hugs the better! =D :wub: I missed you guys - this year has been pretty dern stressful but I *think* it's calmed down. Knock wood!! Brad's doing really well, he loves his work here much more than in Van so that rocks, and he's been writing new games like crazy too, so I think...

    Yeah, in Van most of them were out over the water so we'd see sheet lightning and hear it, but no really big FORKS. It can be nerve-wracking! One night I was out with the dog when it started up and we pretty much trotted home as fast as we could because it felt so weird and electric... And we...

    It's been weird all right, lots of different weather here in Toronto. Lots of thunderstorms compared to Vancouver which is kind of cool - my seat in the living room faces out in the direction where they usually show up so I can sit and watch the fireworks. I could probably go on the roof and...

    Haha! The Squonkinator strikes again! =) That's great. =) Nice about the tube mods, do you enjoy them? I still have an urge to get one of those long skinny ones with a blue LED at the end so I can look Oh So Fashionable when I'm Out In A Fancy Place -- but that doesn't happen very often...

    I will! You give your guy and family a big squeeze from me, too! :wub: :wub: We have about 2 days where it'll be Less Than Hell Weather, but then it's back to HOT by the end of the week. I'm thinking of designing an ice hat. Kinda round like a sponge cake with a hole for the top of your head...

    Yeah, it's been crazy heat wave stuff going on here - went up to 41C/110F or something crazy like that a week ago. Phewwww! Fortunately we have a/c, and Brad got me a really good fan for the season. I also have some crazy evaporativee cooling clothing that I can wear when I get reallllllly...
