If I don’t know the number who’s calling, I don’t answer the phone. Most of the times I don’t answer even if I know the number. There, now you know, you can stop calling.

We were at the Beach House, that charming little bar – Eram la Beach House, în acel mic bar şarmant.

My parents would have a cow - Părinţii mei vor crede că sunt prost.

And in hindsight we made the right choice – Şi în înţelegerea întârziată, am luat decizia corectă.

Older, I continued to give wide berth to eleven-year-olds in parks – pointed into bushed with their flies down, leering over shoulders and sniggering. – Mai în vârstă, am continuat să mă ţin departe în parcuri de cei de unsprezece ani, ascunşi în tufişuri cu zmeele jos, uitândându-se chiorâş pe după umeri şi râzând pe înfundate.

She did stir up rather an excessive fuss when Laura didn’t make the track team, even though her daughter, however lovely, was physically languid and not the least athletic. – A iscat un o zarvă exagerată când Laura nu a intrat în echipa de urmărire, deşi fata ei, de altfel încîntătoare, era pasivă fizic şi nu cea mai atletică.

Harvey thought from the start that I should settle. – Harvey a crezut de la început că ar trebui să fac o înţelegere.

Innocent until proven guilty – inocent până se deovedeşte că eşti vinovat.

Yey, happy happy joy joy! She’s eating again! I gave her crappy Whiskas humid food and she ate it! The doctor said that I can give her anything she wanted for a couple of days and then it’s back to her special dry food. Man, I am so happy! She’s going to be just fine, now I’m sure of that

And here’s the requested picture:

As you can see, she totally hates that collar. The moment I put it on she’s apathic again. But if I don’t, she’ll just lick her operation and that’s BAD! So, she’ll have to put up with it for a couple of more days, but I’ll take it off now and then to let her be herself again.

I had her sterilized yesterday and the operation went fine. I took her to the vet’s today and she doesn’t have fever, or a infection or whatever, but she still hasn’t eaten anything for 2 days I am sooo upset cause of that. All she does is stay in bed and sleep, occasionally moving around the bed in search of a new sleeping position.

The doctor said I had to take her tomorrow as well, just to see how she’s doing, but God, I feel powerless It’s breaking my heart seeing her so apathic. But at least she’s not trying anymore to take off her collar. They said she has to wear it for like 10 days, but after she’ll be back on track, there’s no collar that’s staying around her neck, that I’m sure of.
