Today, ta-da! Everyone was looking forward to this day for my son Drew- so important he have a success going into the pool for the first time this year. He surprised us all and did more physical activity at one time than ever, since October 7 when he was hospitalized with serious seizures. That day he became unable to use his walker anymore. He’s been weak and weaker. He barely can help himself lift up to stand and can’t hold his weight standing. Yet, look at him go in the water today!

Because Drew is going to read this and I’m a real dork,
Marco _ _ _ _. Go on Drew say it. Marco _ _ _ _.
Swimming is not only fun it’s going to strengthen your muscles, Drew. Have a great summer! 😘

To add on to my Monday morning ☹️ Dommie door dashed me for the first time since he’s been an inside kitty in 2020. He was out under the house for less than 3 minutes and came to the door with a huge tail. 🤭

Anyway, sometimes my brain creates really sad scenarios, and I play out my reactions to these scenarios, and it makes me really upset, but it's like I'm trying to prepare myself for every possibility even though it's both impossible and destructive.

@RickiTarr
I know it well too. But I’m much older than you and I have learned pretty well how to divert those negative thoughts. The problem is they arrive back in my unconsciousness, as dreams. That I can’t control.

Morning Friends. Maybe the good morning will arrive later . I woke up terrorized from a mass shooting nightmare. I immediately checked my phone next to the bed for the news. These nightmares have happened before, usually they are hospital dreams. The worst nightmare was in the morning of Sept 11. I won’t describe the carnage. We were camping in CO so when I woke up I figured it was from the high elevations. But, no.😢

I have high hopes this Monday will improve, it has too, I’m retired! 😁😘

Happy Friday friends!
It’s party cloudy, 55F (13C) this morning and reaching 70F (21C) by this afternoon. I think a convertible ride is in our future, & blow the stink off.😝 Heading to the Loading Dock in Illinois. It’s a beautiful drive, mostly slow cruising & crossing the river with 2 ferries. The wkd is crazy there so we avoid that at all costs.
My hubbys lower back issues have been relieved with 4 treatments of acupuncture and PT. So the long drive will not be a problem.👏🏼

Dude left my lap briefly for his morning hydration.
I slept over 8 hrs according to my sleep study! So nice to be home & in my own bed.
I have a heartwarming story about my weekend. The 5 of us friends were going to dinner in one SUV on Sat evening. The back right tire made a pop sound. We safely pulled over. We could see a piece of metal embedded in the flat tire.
It wasn’t 10 minutes a young man pulled over and then another young man.
Cont…

Some kind of scraper made its way into our tire.

Happy Tuesday Masto friends.
This is the last health update on Little Guy. Yesterday he climbed the narrow steps to the window perch where he eats & sleeps on his heated bed. After his partial paralysis from blood clots he was unable to maneuver the steps. I tried to post a video of him trying & falling 2 wks ago, but it wouldn’t send. He is 100% mobile now, the clots have dissolved & he has no noticeable damage. His heart murmur & BP are managed with meds & the power of love! 💗
#Today #Cats

The same brown tabby cat eating breakfast on his window perch this morning. Yesterday he climbed the narrow ladder successfully, both of them, which he hadn’t been able to do. He has made a remarkable recovery in 2 weeks. Cato, an orange/white shorthair cat, his best buddy, is eating his breakfast on the floor below him with toys scattered nearby.

Good Tuesday morning! The sun is up and the clouds are few. I’m going out to run some errands soon, so I can enjoy the good weather when I return.

The hummingbirds are gradually coming in greater numbers. I love that they aren’t afraid of us being close by. If they want a drink from our feeders they don’t care if we’re standing nearby or not. Such tiny, fearless little creatures.

Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Good morning Sharon. No hummers here yet, but soon I suspect.
The woodpeckers are enjoying the nectar though.🙄
Have a nice day. 🤗

On air with Chris Jansing and asked about Mr. David Pecker, Rachel Maddow answered, "Well, it's hard to get a handle on Mr. Pecker". Seriously. I love moments like this. I saw/heard it myself.

Rachel is on tonight. My husband never misses her show. She’s great. I’m restricting my news intake for mental health reasons.

People are arriving from 6, it’s quarter to and everywhere is chaos - not sure what my crew has been doing all day but we are nowhere near being ready for guests. I’m just sitting outside by the fire pit trying to keep out of the way

We took Parker pooch for a convertible ride, but we had to stay close to home because his guardians forgot his car seat. We went to Cuivre River state park which is a 15min drive and a beautiful park. It’s 88F (31 C). He was too hot with his fur coat on, not right for April.
I hope you all had an awesome weekend.

Happy #Caturday
It’s been a busy week here in the woodlands of MO.
Some of my friends know how our week began. Little Guy (LG) gave us a scare with partial paralysis in his hind quarters. He was diagnosed last year with a heart murmur. On Monday his BP was severely elevated & his heart was failing, he had thrown clots to his rear legs. With heart & BP meds on board he is recovering. His left leg is stronger, his right is compromised. He is a resilient & determined LG. ❤️

Same kitty enjoying some chin and neck scritches from his human.
A wooden ramp made for Little Guy to reach the media area and couch in the cathouse. He can maneuver stairs upward but downward he falls. It required many food motivated exercises for him to become comfortable using the ramp. A white bichon poodle, Parker, is posing next to it. He is staying as our guest. He has been very welcome in the cat house for the past 11 yrs when I doggy sit.

My kitty, Little Guy is going to the vet right now. Last night before bed his hind legs became partially paralyzed. He is the kitty that was a diabetic w/insulin injections but a year he ago went into remission. I immediately checked his BS & it was 167 normal and today’s was normal. In November he was diagnosed with a heart murmur which leads me to believe this condition is a “saddle embolism.” It maybe very grim. 😞
Send me some healing vibes. It’s an hour drive so I’ll toot later.

Happy friends!
I slept wonderfully last night after a rough day yesterday. The latest Covid booster I received on Thursday kicked my butt 24hrs later, but I feel pretty good this morning.
The sun is shining, squirrels are terrorizing each other for seed, birds are singing their spring songs and Dude is asleep on my lap.
Enjoy your weekend and be safe. ❤️

Good afternoon to you, it’s still morning here.
I just taste tested a filled cupcake you mentioned and it was a Triumph my Dear! 😋
We have 25 people coming to the daughter’s house today so I made 2 recipes and a gooey butter cake. It’s already 70F here and sunny. It will be an outside gathering for sure.
Happy SlackerSaturday to you! I hope you have a relaxing one with excellent weather. 🤗

Creepy, he sometimes sleeps with his eyes open 😬 probably from living in the wild for a couple years.
Have a wonderful evening Gerty and your gang. 😘✨🌟✨
