Got a bit more sleep, today, while everyone was milling around, getting that radiator hose fixed. I needed it, and it helped. Totally helped me not to skimp on my workout, too. Much needed, as I'd gotten lazy.

Got a bunch of laundry hand-washed in my bathroom sink, as well - as the laundrymat will be a luxury in these next two weeks. Can't buy food, either, but can get by on my stocked-ups, with crackers instead of bread, etc. - and am very thankful for the ham I've had in the freezer, for an 'emergency' - it's amazing how creative one gets when pressed. I reallyREALLYreally hate to use my stock (especially the powdered/boxed milk, dated pre-3/11), but have no choice. THANK GOD FOR OATMEAL, lol!

I DID, however, splurge and make a lovely chocolate-chip cookie cake with homemade buttercream icing for DJ - heh - he loved the idea that it can be flavoured with almost anything, and how easy it was to make, and learning how one CAN make substitutions for eggs, etc. in a pinch. Gonna miss that butter, but, oh, well. My, 'Magic Bullet' makes ace powdered raw sugar, btw. :)

Wish I had money to get those aforementioned tomato plants, and more burdock root/milkthistle, but, alas.

This scares me:

Let's just hope that there's no more earthquake activity, starting a chain-reaction, especially given that the island itself is apparently sinking. Cheese and effin' rice.

Even moreso, and heartbreaking: http://crisisjones.wordpress.com/



"An Edmonton woman is concerned for her family and neighbours. Her dog had to be put down after it rolled in a puddle near her home. Alana McOuat let her 6-year-old Shihtzu Buddy out her front door on April 11th. The dog rolled in a puddle along the boulevard in front of her home. Minutes later, McOuat says Buddy’s fur and skin started to burn off.

Buddy was rushed to the vet, but after two weeks of treatment and thousands of dollars worth of vet bills, Buddy was suffering terribly. He suffered a stroke, seizures, kidney failure, and burns to 90% of his body.

As a result, he had to be euthanized.

McOuat is now left wondering what was in the puddle. Buddy’s vet believes it was chemical in nature, but that’s not enough to satisfy the Shihtzu’s family. “I have to put my dog down. this is serious now.” McOuat said, “This could happen to anyone. It could happen to another animal – to a kids. It could happen to anybody.”

Alberta Environment is now looking into the matter."
