Anotrher Tai Chi class this morning down the road about 25min. And I'm having a private 1-2-1 with my teacher tomorrow - always good - always nervous LOL.
Good news today from the Honda garage. My car is ready - and I can pick it up tomorrow afternoon and it will 'Look great'. Or I can let their detailer have it for a day and it will look brand new - no extra charge. I'm away down in Kidderminster Friday/Saturday so it's a no brainer. Booked in to pick it up Monday morning! Insurance is in place and only cost me an extra £20 til the end of my policy in March next year! I expected more as it's a higher spec model, three years younger and half the mileage!

I did that when I bought my new to me car at the very end of July.. I let them detail it for a day or 2 , so it looked and still looks 2 months later like a brand new car... but it's 3 years old...
I started taking a drawing art class yesterday. It was a lot of fun but I didn't realize how exhausting it could be to focus on a task for over an hour. Also, drawing a bunch of bananas is tricky.
This morning I got a reminder I'd set up 6 months ago that I needed to go get fasting blood work done this morning. Ugh, I really struggled with myself (after first going back to sleep to deal with it later), I wanted so much to just have my coffee and breakfast, but I didn't want it hanging over me tomorrow either, so I managed to force myself to go.
But now I'm feeling sorry for myself (tho I guess I have no real suffering in my life that a simple fasting blood work is enough to disrupt my whole day). Pity party for me ::sniffle:::

The slow and painful process of saying farewell.
My ten-year old Ross (second from the left) has a tumor in his mouth that keeps growing and makes it difficult to eat anything. Six months ago, he had a $1K surgery that didn't do any good. Now www.vdspets.com wants $6K for another surgery without guarantee of success. Sorry, I can't do it. Anyway, Ross has pretty much reached his life expectancy. www.rcdas.org/pet-services/humane-euthanasia will euthanize him on 10/9/2025.
Otto (on the far right) has a thyroid cancer, and my veterinarian recommends to put him to sleep. Well, I just want to keep him a little bit longer.
Burying Ross will break my heart.
Rex and Heidi are my buddies who will stay with me for a long time to come. They enable me to survive and to keep going.
Dearest @Jules Why are you angry when two of my pups have to be euthanized to end their suffering?
BTW, aren't you in Vancouver? My wife and daughter are visiting next Thursday Richmond, next to Vancouver, to visit relatives.

I'm so sorry about Ross and Otto. Saying final goodbyes to loyal, beloved pets is agonizing. I'm so glad Rex and Heidi will offer some comfort. {{{hugs}}}

I was out getting the bbq ready when I hear a bugle from very close. Grab my calls and phone and slipped through my yard to the street. This 7x6 was out pushing his cows around as they fed on the neighbors lawn. This is the "trophy" class animal I was hunting this past month. This the 3rd year he has been the boss bull in our neighborhood.
Here he is in November 2024 after building a herd of 150 cows. I was ecstatic to see he survived the winter and added a small point to one side. If you look closely at his side it's obvious that he's completely emaciated. Hopefully he survives winter again.
