  • Not A Great Day For Me


    TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM

    I am starting this off with some exciting news for the Brat Family.  We are so proud.  One of my younger sisters (she is #4 of 5 girls) is being published.  Oh, I shouldn't say that because she has had stories published in two international publications but this is her very first book.  She has been writing since she was very young.  I think her first story was in crayon.  But if you would like to share our joy, just click and you can see it's for real.  BTW, this is not autobiographical...  We are just so excited for her.   http://www.publishamerica.net/product88885.html

    I knew she would do it.  I've read so much of her stuff and so have many of you that visit Bratfink's site regularly.  This book is an excellent example of her talent.  I hope to see much more of her varied writing talents published for everyone to enjoy in the future. 

    Other than that, my day sucked big time.  I don't get headaches often but I had the mother of all headaches most of today.  No clue what started it unless it was because I was out of my diabetes pills this morning (I know...I should have reordered it when it got low) and my blood sugar was higher than normal.  It shouldn't have been because I don't usually have a high reading (it's usually always under 100 in the morning before I eat).  But, after picking up the new prescription and taking one, I also took two aspirin and laid down in a dark room for a couple hours.  When I woke up, it was gone.  I am forever grateful for that because I was afraid at first that I was getting a migraine.  I haven't had one in years but you just never know!

    I did manage to get a few things done afterward and found out the damn dog ate another hole in my flannel top sheet.  A HUGE hole.  This one cannot be covered because the center is just GONE.  He also hit the quilt again but a smaller section than the first time.  I think the dog is just frustrated.  Doberman's are high energy (the reason I could have killed the Beast for selecting when he can only exercise him if he's able to ride the scooter).  I'm also angry with the Beast because it means he wasn't keeping an eye on Baron and let him up on the bed.  I thought I had made it clear to him, and he agreed, that the dog was NOT to be allowed on the bed any more.

    That's some of the shit I have to put up with living with the Beast.  He just thinks he knows better and that the dog will behave just because he is with  HIM.  Ha! Ha! Ha!

    I'm just so tickled about Bratfink's book that I can hardly sit still over it.  I'm so proud of her and think she deserves this.  I hope it even hits the best seller list...LOL.  I'm cutting this short here and just want to say *Love you all.  Lots of hugs and I wish you the very best day you can have.  Smile a lot.  It's good for you and surprises the hell out of people around you.
