click for full body/size pic Our poor doggie girl had her surgery today. She is still drooling, poor thing. The vet took out her womb, and there was something growing on her ovaries, which was removed as well. He sent it in, but he said, just from looking at it, it does not look like cancer.

I am bit confused by this, as my brother said she doesnt even have a tumor, and now this? In any case, she will have to have another surgery. The vet said, she is a very snivelling little lady. Ohhhh, our doggie.

I am overworked. But then, only 4 weeks left, I will manage. And in the meantime, I will order sock wool. Never enough!

I finished The Time Travelers Wife a couple of minutes ago. Captivating book. I like how the author makes “the impossible” real and believable. if I ever find a naked man on the streets somewhere, I will be convinced that it is a time traveler! As opposed to a homeless drunk person…

I love the ultimate ending, but I hate the “storyline” leading up to it. I like the dates and specific events Henry has to travel to, and relive. Some are boring and casual, but some are intriguing!

Quotes from the book that I like…

I feel guilty for wanting to avoid the sadness, dead people need us to rememer them, even if it eats us, even if all we can do is say “I am sorry”, until its as meaningless as air.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my sould to keep,
If I should die before I wakw, I pray the Lord my sould to take.
~ p320

Sleep erases all differences: then and now; dead and living. I am past hunger, past vanity, past caring. This morning I caught sight of my face in the bathroom mirror. I am paperskinned, gauned, yellow, ring-eyed, hair matted. I look dead. I want nothing.
~ p501, Clare

I am going to read another book of the Three Investigator Series now.
