it's here! it's here!

my new baby came today, packaged appropriately in a diaper box.

i am so excited about the prospects of this camera. there is a whole world waiting to be shot.

helen, i say it again: thank you!

after a daylong reprieve from all things kidney pain, i am back in bed clutching my belly and back (one hand front, one hand back). xrays are scheduled for tomorrow. work is being amazingly supportive. i just want to be well. despite the craziness of the week before christmas, i enjoy working the overtime, solving christmas gift drama for people. i just want to feel myself again. and i can't believe i'm saying this: i want to be working out again! i miss maria, and i miss my body feeling healthy. however, i do not miss lunges. at all.

come on body. cheer up. it's christmastime!

as i convalesce, feel free to visit flickr, where i'll be posting all sorts of photos from bed. even bum kidneys can't keep a girl away from her new toy.

as for this particular photo, this is shiloh, who is spending her last week with us. greg (g) will officially adopt her just after christmas. i'm glad i've gotten to document the first four months of her life. today, she sneaked outside for the first time, and her eyes are open to the wonder and joyness of that big back yard where the dogs hang out.

trouble.

time to get her spayed.
time for me to take a pain pill.

before i go, however, here's a blurry shot of chloe and little gunther. (it's another view of the window from the bed, of course.) for size comparison, remember gunnie's brother pablo? (his name is now claus.) he is now the same size as chloe. gunther is, officially, tiny.
