* * * I was exercising this morning (this makes 34 days in a row, whoo!) and was on my last set of twisting crunches, when the muscle in the middle of my back between my shoulder blades pulled. It hurt for a little while, but was mostly gone by the time I got to the hospital for my ultrasound. After the ultrasound I was getting in Fred’s car, and I pulled the same motherfucking muscle again. For the entire ride back to Fred’s office (where I had left my Jeep), it hurt to breathe. It doesn’t hurt quite as much now, and I just took a couple of Aleves, which will hopefully help. As long as I don’t turn my head or breathe too deeply, I should be just fine.

We like to say that the Bean is Tubby reincarnated (though of course that’s impossible, since the Bean was born long before Tubby died), because he has many Tubby-like qualities, not the least of which is his bitchy meow. He’s a photogenic as Tubby was, and when we’re eating dinner he sits on the floor and meows bitchily for us to share with him. I got some photographic proof to compare him to Tubby.
Tubby in the basket… Mister Boogers in the basket. Tubby under the bird feeders… Mister Boogers under the bird feeders.

I’m calling it a day for this entry – I have an episode of The Bachelor to watch and I’m going to go nurse my aching back and watch it. See you tomorrow… ]]>

  1. Hopefully Beannie doesn’t take on Tubby’s love of food trait and have to be called Tubby the II.

  2. I bet The Bean has better luck catching birds. He is a bit, shall we say, less conspicuous both in color and size and I bet he gets more air with his vertical leap.

  3. you have a beautiful yard..do you ever go outside and just sit out there and read?

  6. Robyn, as your SIL, I feel I can be honest with you. Your liver is looking a little chunky these days. But, I hear some guys like that. 😉

  7. Look at that beast just chillin’ in his basket 🙂 What a weasel!!! Sounds like good times for you @ the ER, I hope the ‘birth’ goes smoothly!

  8. Awwww, Tubby pictures! (sad wistful smile) I sure do miss his stories.

  9. Memories..misty tubby colored memories……(sniff)
    I am glad all went smoothly. I think Frank would be a good name for a boy 😉

  11. Wow! It’s amazing that you found a bigger basket EXACTLY the same as the one the Tubbster was in.
    What? You say it’s the same basket?? Hmmmmmm…. Me thinks Mr. Boogers is a tad more slim than The TUbbMeister! Great pictures, Tubby made me smile.

  12. awwwww….Tubby.
    My cat O’reilly’s nickname is Booger, as well .
    I just babysat my friends 2 year old daughter adopted from China….I must say it was hilarious to hear her say (in my southern accent ) “come ‘ere ju booger”

  13. I just was getting caught up – been busy- and saw your liver problems I had the EXACT same thing happen to me just a month or so ago! It was strange. They never found anything. I had to have a stomach biopsy and everything but nada.
    Just elevated liver enzymes that just went on for a week or so and just stopped. Thought it was fatty liver but my liver was fine.
    Just wanted to share! 🙂

  15. Whoops! The Bachelor, I meant. I don’t know how that “ette” got on there. 🙂
