Come join us in our nesting place.

In my previous post, I mentioned about animal insurances. Aren’t we all surprised with that? *smiles*  Gotta admit I was surprised and amazed when I first heard about it. Now for the benefit of dog and cat lovers,  I’m going to give away the links to the cat/dog insurance sites where they can learn more of that subject.   Go here for cat insurance and then here’s another one for the dog insurance.  (Amazing that  even with insurances, each have a unique place!)

Hokeee *wink*, cat/dog insurance taken cared of, here’s another thing before I go offline. When I opened my Wordpress account today, I noticed the number of comments waiting for my approval.

It has reached more than two hundred already! I’m surprised. I know though that not all are real comments; most of these are blams (blog spam) with the only intent of linking to another website. But I’m surprised that the number has risen sufficiently in just a few weeks. Is this an indication that the number of spammers internet-wide  have risen significantly? Or have I been such a slacker for so long already (and that I could no longer keep up with these things)? *sigh*sigh*

Some mornings. I’d wake up to my son’s pat, asking if he could be a frog or a worm or some animal. Today, we started the day with him kookaking on our bed. And me pretending to be the mama frog, too. I don’t know if that’s unsual to others but I’m so used to us pretending to be some animal family  (with the inItiation of my first born). :-) We’d be a family of dogs sometimes.Or cats. Or worms. Or whatever he fancies. Sometimes, he pretends to be my pet and I willingly obliges to be the owner.  With this “role playing”, I hope to be  teaching my son the values of caring for some pets, something he cannot have at the moment due to his asthma.

Now speaking of pets, I am not aware that in some countries like the UK, animal insurances i.e. equine horse insurance are already offered. Not until now. I’ve learned that if you’ve got a pet i.e.cats, dogs, horses etc., you may already get a cat/dog/horse insurance coverage for their  protection (and your protection too!). Amazing! 

This note is my reminder.

It never fails to put a smile on my lips but it also keeps me trying to be the best mom I can be.

When I woke up this evening (I’m off to work in an hour), my parents greeted me with the news of Honda cars recall. They said it was on TV, saying that 2009/2010 Honda City cars will be recalled. Ours being in this bracket, I panicked. Okay after few minutes, I went like “Oh good. So we’ll have a new replacement then.” Then when I realized I still have to get some docs which may be relevant to the recall, I panicked once again.

Hah, only to find out few minutes later that it is the 1.5models that are for recall (ours is 1.3). I’m sweating for nothing.

On Valentine’s Day, everyone in the house received a note made out of a recycled bond paper with a message saying I-love-you written in red pentel pen.

My firstborn, who’s also my date on Valentine’s, made these notes. When asked why, he replied with a resounding “because it’s Valentine’s Day today!” So sweet of him. Really. And I’m totally touched (even if I constantly receive Iloveyou notes from him.

BTW, there’s also one note for Nanay and Tatay but I couldn’t find it na. And then there’s one for my sister’s friend (and our neighbor), which I believe my son has a crush on. Lol.

I’ve heard about glucosamine but don’t really know all about it. My guess is, from the word glucose, it’s some kind of sugar compound.  So today, I’m taking my break (I do take breaks too apart from coffee and lunch breaks) and reading about glucosamine sulphate and what it does to our body.

Click here to read about  what Mister Wiki has to say about it.

I’ve also read an article from about.com saying ” Glucosamine is a compound found naturally in the body, made from glucose and the amino acid glutamine.” Continue reading that here.

Besides, the two posts I mentioned above, I found  a couple more articles online with  glucosamine as subject. Here’s one (which is more like a FAQ sheet) from National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine and another one from National Institutes of Health. Both are good reads, although reading them, I suddenly found my head swimming in an ocean of medical terminology. But insightful, nonetheless.

6-something AM. In the office.

God, I’m still sleepy. The sofas on the receiving area of our building look tempting. I believe they are beckoning for me to catch a few minutes of early morning winks.  But I know when succumb with the temptation, I’d be dead asleep for hours! And I don’t want to be caught doing that this Wednesday morning when I need to finish some work from yesterday. Besides, I won’t be a good sight to see, all sprawled in the lobby sofa. I’m sure the guards won’t be amused (nor the boss). But I’m saying, I wanted to sleep (and reading about  the comfortable memory foam mattress is not helping one bit). *sigh*sigh* Unfortunately, I just can’t do that now. Maybe later, when I get home from work (but isn’t that wishful thinking?).

For now, let me just cross my fingers that I get some work done and that I won’t doze off in a middle of the telephone calls. Good morning world.
