5:22 in the AM, and I can't sleep...well, not much anyway. Too many things running into one another in my mind. Nobody to sleep with anyway. Used to have a cat, but I let him down and had to have him put to sleep.

They prepped his leg and inserted the needle. It took no more than a few seconds for the drug to take effect. He breathed his last breath into my hands as I cradled his head. Just a little sigh, then his head drooped and his eyes closed and, just like that, I lost my furry pal. I brought him home in a shoe box and my neighbor and my housemate, Tina, helped me dig his grave.

quicker than I thought it would. In about an hour, we will be on our way to the Vets so he can be put out of his misery. I appreciate all the wonderful, caring responses I've received over the last day or so, to my blog entry. Please don't feel obligated to respond to this one though.

I need to talk to a list of 5:

• Cathy Michel
• Anistasia Allread
• Kaleigh Way
• Angharad Bonzifeeder
• Laika Pupkino

I am honored to be able to call many people here friends. And reading their stories are a treat. I admit that i am not the best at penning a story and that I need to do better. I wonder which of my stories have the most appeal.

When not quite 38 years of age I suffered a mild heart attack. After a couple of months of following doctor's orders with no apparent improvement I made an enough of a nuisance of myself to be scheduled for open heart surgery, no minor procedure in those days.
So in the May of my 38 year I underwent by-pass surgery, my first cabbage or CABG, coronary arterial bypass graft.

Last night, I tried to schedule the second part of Firefly: Connecting Flight to post automatically this morning. Naturally, it didn't work. It was supposed to post at 6 a.m. Eastern Time -- and it just isn't there. And I can't find where it's lurking so i can just go to it and post it immediately!

Can anyone help me find it and get it posted, stat?

To All readers of "Tragedy" I will be posting the last two Parts this week. This will close out my synapse of my life. I will however at a later oppertunity post filler parts. I am to undergo LIver surgery on the 27th of May. I wish to thank all the Readers who have followed my Story. I greatly appreciate this oppertunity to share my story with you.

I have a TG fan fiction I wrote that takes place after the events in the movie Serenity, which was the sequel to the televisions series Firefly. I was wondering if there might be interest here, although i will say that there are spoilers embedded in the story for those who haven't seen the film yet.

Anyone interested?

The top five stories for the last couple of hours are by Heulwen, Angharad, Angharad, Heulwen and Alys.

Is this a conspiracy?

Or are the Welsh writers trying to make up for the failure of their premier football team in the cup final?

Should we ever have left our coal mines?

I am asking for a small group of folks to bounce a story off of. It is NOT finished, but I'm just getting into the writing of it. Wrote what's there in about 20 minutes today. Any takers?
