I believe the year has just caught up to me and yesterday I just melted. I sat on the couch and either slept or didn’t move almost the entire day. I had cats hopping up and down on me all day. When one would leave two more would come. They knew that I had reached the end of my energy reserve and in their way they kept me comforted.

I received a nice surprise in the mail- several cat perches from felinefurniture. They are all made in the USA very nicely constructed and best of all, there is no drilling holes in your window sill. It is all done with strong adhesive (velcro) Nice, soft, strong padding helps entice kitties to lay down. I did manage to put one up yesterday before once again melting on the couch.

Christmas is just around the corner, and I have so much to be grateful for in my life. Mike is still with me- we are coming up on our 27th wedding anniversary soon. I have my health, I have a job, and we have a roof over our heads. My kitties are healthy and safe and Brook is my constant companion loving to go with me around town. I have taken her off the conventional meds because the previcot makes her vomit and I have put her on a holistic blend. She is getting Papaya enzyme, a joint supplement tablet, some bromelain, fish oil and msm. I just make a huge pill ball out of cream cheese or braunswager and toss it to her. She gobbles it right down. She was 123 pounds when she first arrived, she is down to 103 pounds now.

Well, I hear Mike stirring- he has slept in. I need to go and make breakfast and get everyone fed. Today is clean litter box day- so my melting yesterday was a good thing. Now, I have some energy.
