It has been pretty awful trying to use dial-up with all the static on it, but it hit rock bottom the other night—to the point I was connecting at such slow speeds web pages wouldn’t open ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/12/29/back-to-work-for-the-new-year/ People who say that pets are not the same as having kids, never had two 6 month old kittens. I’ve now been to the vet’s office three times in two weeks; first to pick them up, then back for antibiotics for Stuart’s cat, and then back again yesterday for ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/12/05/since-when-are-cats-not-kids/ I have had a busy week. I picked up the kittens Monday and spent the rest of the week refereeing them. Stuart’s cat, the black female (still no names for either of them yet) was spayed, and she didn’t feel too good for several days. My cat, ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/11/30/christmas-sale/ Stuart and I went to the shelter today and spent several hours.

Then we held two juvenile cats and three adult cats, each in turn, to ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/11/21/its-twins/ No sign of the beast anywhere.

Took me 30 minutes or more to open four e-mails, looking for ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/11/16/wheres-the-beast/ Well, my cold has gotten worse, so I’ve accomplished little, but I am excited about what I have managed to do.

I thought the only real benefit of them was that I would get some ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/11/08/squidoo-me-the-money/ Well, my rise to great business heights is going to have to take a slight detour as I have got a bit of a cold this week. While working from home makes it easier to work around sickness in a way you cannot when working outside the home, being ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/11/05/you-say-tortoise-i-say-turtle/ I am much accomplished! I finished my psalms last night and proofed them and uploaded them today. I also finished getting all of my stuff uploaded to eCrater yesterday. So I had a productive day yesterday, even before you take into account that I went to the ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/11/02/ta-da/ I am feeling rather more pleased with myself today than yesterday. I concentrated almost all of my efforts today on getting items loaded onto eCrater. I got 22 items loaded and lack 20; I figure I can knock out the last 20 tomorrow. Then that will be ... http://themedievalnun.com/blog/2008/10/30/27/
