It is a double cd, greatest hits, I bought for mom but I am listening to it.

The second cd is all ballads, sure romantic and lovely though old fashion to the extreme. I am so thankful for my life nowadays. May it continue, dearest God and may Buddha always be there in our heart mind. Om shanti om!

And consciousness.

Because I am very worried of a stroke, I , again, stayed off the booze tonight. Its been two or three nights, without a drop. I do up to 5-6 days regularly without booze. But always once or twice a week, i have at least two drinks one evening. During the holiday season, staring in end of november, I become a lush until end of January. 

Laurel seems to like Elvis music and has been hanging out on and off my lap all the duration of the album so far. I am sitting at the kitchen table. These cats require a LOT of attention and care. Such is the way of indoor cats. I was not used to it after 14 and half years with our outdoor indoor cat hardcore Tummo we saved at least 3 times from death and a few visits to the vet. And one miraculous healing from a nasty nasty gash took us a week to notice under her armpit.

Laurel and Hardy are pampered to the max. to be honest, for a homebody like me it is even better daily at home, especially when the dogs are out four times a day and I dont always join the family.

I get to constantly attend to the needs of other sentient beings than humans. I love it. It is way way less high maintenance than a human. yet it feels just as good as companionship to look after someone. Especially when your human touch on your life daily  is fulfilled with a human companion too. I love love my life. Thank you Buddha for continuing to make me consious and aware of inequities in this canadian country. And beyond. May I never sleep morally when human and sentience rights are denied. May I proetst and talk loud and carry the message of compassion and such reminders to other people who forget samsara and the real world.
