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!

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.

 

The brain is locked in total darkness, of course, children, says the voice. It floats in a clear liquid inside the skull, never in the light. And yet the world it constructs in the mind is full of light. It brims with color and movement. So how, children, does the brain, which lives without a spark of light, build for us a world full of light?

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.

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Last weeks rain was so nice. We have been in the mid to high 70’s so far this week. It is supposed to rain again on Friday and cool down. So fingers crossed, I love the rain and we really do need more.

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Still cool here but nothing like everywhere else. I am enjoying it though. We have been getting a lot of rain the last few days and it is supposed to keep raining. This is good, because we had a bad Monsoon season and barely got any rain so we really need it.

 

This weeks Teaser..

“We all come into existence as a single cell, smaller than a speck of dust. Much smaller. Divide. Multiply. Add and subtract. Matter changes hands, atoms flow in and out, molecules pivot, proteins stitch together, mitochondria send out their oxidative dictates; we begin as a microscopic electrical swarm. The lungs the brain the heart. Forty weeks later, six trillion cells get crushed in the vise of our mother’s birth canal and we howl. Then the world starts in on us.”

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Ear warmer band was only worn once here in Tucson, LOL. I will take it though ha ha. I have had to have a hoodie on early morning and once the sun goes down, so it is at least cooler here. My roomie says it is cold, I just stare at him in born and raised in Minnesotan. It was almost 70 during the day today, meanwhile TN and other places are being slammed with a polar vortex. It is not cold, LOL. Stay safe and warm to anyone in the bath of those arctic temps.

 

This weeks Teaser..

“You know the greatest lesson of history? It’s that history is whatever the victors say it is. That’s the lesson. Whoever wins, that’s who decides the history. We act in our own self-interest. Of course we do. Name me a person or a nation who does not. The trick is figuring out where your interests are.”
