Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

A Better Day

July 15, 2007 by leslie Leave a Comment

Saturday was a better day. I was up at 5AM feeding the cats. Then I started working on a web project that I had been neglecting. While doing that I decided to make Banana Nut Bread only to discover I couldn’t find my loaf pan anywhere. So I ran to the store and bought another one. While it was baking, I finished up the layout for the Vet clinic www.oakviewvetclinic.com – it still needs tons of content and images (staff member images are broken because I don’t have any). I kept busy all day. We did pizza and a movie. Pizza from our favorite pizza place – Tortuga’s and Charlotte Web from Netflix. Cute movie, they did a good job with it.

Friday, I went back to work and had a rough time with it. Between having to deal with the politicos and my own grief, it made for a rough day. Jeff told me to go home more than once, but I knew I just needed to make it through the day.

Haven’t heard back from my daughter’s friend. I hope that her providing me information enough to put the pieces together, didn’t strain her relationship with my daughter. Kasydi’s obituary told me all that was needed to say:

Infant Kasydi Alana Ann Spencer

Infant Kasydi Alana Ann Spencer passed away July 5, 2007 at Southern Regional Medical Center. Kasydi was born July 5, 2007 the infant daughter of Vanessa and Rodney Spencer of McDonough.

She is also survived by sisters, Jordan Folds and Madelyn Spencer of McDonough; grandparents, Christopher Allbert of Nashville and Lofton and Glenda Spencer Sr. of Griffin, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Kasydi was also preceded in death by a sister Jessica Ann Folds.

In her world, I do not exist. I tried to be there for her when Jessica died. I found out a little late on that one, but I did call and leave a message. I don’t know if she ever got it. That was then. I tried to be there for her this time too – I still am, I’m right here and I’ve been here all along.

Those of you who were betting that my knees would be the first "metal" replacements, you lost. I now have a bit of titanium in my cervical spine. I wonder if the doc will give me a pic of the post-op x-rays?

Those who know me, know to send lavender roses and daisies.
