in the letters section of the latest issue of utne, one reader submits, as a folllow-up to an article in a previous issue, her list of songs that serve as "pick-me-ups." she mentioned "I Say a Little Prayer for You" by Dionne Warwick, and now i can't get it out of my head.
Forever, forever, you'll stay in my heart
And I will love you
Forever, forever, we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, together, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only be heartbreak for me
yesterday afternoon i got an email from my vet. she said she was listening to the station, heard my voice and was surprised to learn i was a radio announcer. she also said she had some news for me and to please write back or call her at home.
well, i immediately wrote back, and it turns out that the news is that she's no longer working at the cat hospital. this makes me very, very sad. she is far and away the most compassionate vet i've ever encountered. i don't know what we'll do without donna manley.
i actually plan on calling her in the next week or so to get a better picture of what's going with her future plans. i will happily follow her to wherever she goes next. she's that amazing.
this morning i woke up to find a love note on the bathroom sink. ray leaves these for me every once in a while... little scraps of paper that say "i love you!!", or "good morning, sweetie!" or something equally wonderful. it melts my heart into a big pool of butter when i find them. the day is off to a good start.
then, the doorbell... the gutter guy arrived. 2 of my brand-new gutters got knocked off during hurricane isabel and i didn't put a great priority on getting them repaired quickly. however, when i scheduled this work for january i didn't realize that i'd also be paying for a new furnace this month... so once again i'm in a tight squeeze, financially speaking. but at least i'll have shiny new gutters that are the envy of the neighborhood.
speaking of the furnace, the gas line was laid by PSNC yesterday, so we're good to go for the folks at griles to begin work tomorrow morning. so far i'm really happy about choosing griles... they've been very communicative. and when i called today to tell them the gas line was in and ready for them, troy griles said, "ok, thanks... but now you just sit back and relax... we'll show up tomorrow and do everything else so you can enjoy your new heating system." how nice is that?!
i had a dentist appointment this morning. i normally have a pretty good time at my dentist, believe it or not... everyone there is really sweet. this morning was even sweeter, though, when i discovered that they now have cookie dough flavored tooth polish! you sit through the tartar-scraping and flossing and spitting and you're rewarded with such a sweet treat when they polish your teeth with that little spinny thing! it's a nice change from the tired ol' tropical fruit or mint flavors. they're very clever, these dentists.
