Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Sorry I missed last week, fibro fog got me and I just blanked. Last week was a little stressful with some schedule changes because the landlord was coming and yeah fun times. LOL I don’t like people in my space that I don’t know and I always feel landlord’s are judgy about how you decorate and stuff. I am sure that is just my intrusive thoughts but I can’t help feeling that. We haven’t damaged a thing, just have two very ND folks and all the decor that goes with it. LOL

On to this weeks teaser…

If you’ve got danglies, and can loose them, that’s the kind of sight that makes you reconsider the possible genitalia-related ramifications of your actions real damned quick”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. The raincoat and prance have been out the last several days. Downside is we haven’t been doing our usual walk route and Olly has been a little unsure about that. I drive us a few blocks away because they just put down some of that oily stuff before they repave and I don’t want to risk any sticking to his paws. Also had to get a new phone this week becauseI managed to break the camera on my old one and I need that camera for work. my photos were looking like I took them on a potato LOL. Sticking with my Dresden re-read because its comforting. I am sure I will get to something new at some point this year.

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Funny enough I got use the raincoat for Olly the other day. I was surprised about the rain but it was so fun seeing him get to use his raincoat, he really liked it and his little prance in it was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

On to this weeks teaser…

 

 

 

“Screw up my life?” He stared at me for a second and then said, deadpan, “I’m a five-foot-three, thirty-seven-year-old, single, Jewish medical examiner who needs to pick up his lederhosen from the dry cleaners so that he can play in a one-man polka band at Oktoberfest tomorrow.” He pushed up his glasses with his forefinger, folded his arms, and said, “Do your worst.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. All is right in Olly’s world again since Mom is home. His new raincoat arrived in the mail today as well and it is adorable it is blue with ducks on it. LOL. It does not rain often here but when it does we shall be prepared. I always thought Olly disliked the rain as much as his sister Diva so we didn’t do walks on rainy days. Turns out he was choosing to not go to stay with his sister who absolutely hated the rain (yet she loved to swim lol), Olly does not mind getting his paws wet but doesn’t like the rest of him wet, so raincoat!

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads.Oh I love Abuela and sitting for her, but boy do I miss being home with my Olly. I do go home for several hours a day and do his walk and dinner etc, but it is not the same. He is doing okay, he is sad but he is doing ok. Roomie is with him. Very much looking forward to him being able to come with me from now on. Or at least until we adopt a new sibling for him to have at home with him. I have no idea when that will be (I am not ready), but I know it will happen. I am that person.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Olly is back into an eating groove, the new bowl seemed to help for sure. I am so happy that it has. Of course I am about to upset his routine a bit again as I have to sit Abuela for 6 days starting Wens. The good news is though Abuela’s mom is awesome and after hearing about losing Diva we chatted about making this sit a little easier for Olly and we are going to meet up and introduce Abuela and Olly (there wasn’t time before this trip) and so long as they get along (I know Olly will be a perfect gentleman) he will be coming with me on all future sits for Abuela. Going to be so cute for him to make a little friend like her and her Mom is excited for Abuela to make a new friend too. Anyways onto the teaser…

 

 

 

“We are not going to die.”

Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. “We’re not?”

“No. And do you know why?” He shook his head. “Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I’m too stubborn to die.” I hauled on the shirt even harder. “And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Thank you all for your condolences about Diva. I am not really doing much better this week, so no new Teaser but I will be ok. Olly is slowly starting to get a groove without his sister, though getting him to eat is still a little harder. They always ate together and he just is not sure what to do without her here. Diva was the more dominate of the two so he always followed her lead. He eats though I usually just have to sit with him and hand feed him to get him started. Then it clicks oh yeah I am hungry! We will get through this. Think I am going to pop back to Dresden to get myself reading again, I can finish this one later.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. I don’t have a new teaser this week, sorry. Things took a turn last week with my girl Diva. She stopped eating which was not like her and her breathing changed. The ER vet found she had cancer. Not the regular vets fault for missing it, there was nothing to suggest she had it with her paw issues that happened. The ER vet thinks that happening just made her unable to mask any longer and it took a stronger hold. So we had to say goodbye. Needless to say I am heartbroken and so is her brother Olly and her kitties. We are doing our best and helping each other through it.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. So good news and bad news about my sweet senior doggo Diva, we did go to the vet and they said it was a minor sprain was just going to take her longer to bounce back from cause of her age. They gave us some meds and such and told me not to be shocked if she got some secondary lameness in one of her back paws because of the extra strain. She did but that is slowly mending as well, front leg is all healed up though so yay. We are on the right track.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Happy we should be getting more rain this week. I suspect it is some “run off” from all the rain California is currently getting. We really need it. Downside is people here really are not good at driving in it. My doggo Diva also has been limping the last few days, vet didn’t have any appointments until Friday so we took the earliest one. I did at least get to speak with them on the phone and they agree with my theory that she sprained that paw jumping off her favorite nap chair and landing wrong. They recommended doggo aspirin and keeping her off it as much was possible until her appointment. So we have been doing that and she is improving and willing to put a little weight on it.

 

What mazes there are in this world. The branches of trees, the filigree of roots, the matrix of crystals, the streets her father recreated in his models… None more complicated than the human brain, Etienne would say, what may be the most complex object in existence; one wet kilogram within which spin universes.
