I have been absent a bit. Turned off the computer and just took time to get back to life. It is also spring cleaning and my home is getting scrubbed top to bottom. I have carted off items to the local thrift shop and tossed out the sacrificial sofa (the one the cats mark with claws and pee) I had to laugh when the driver took the couch out of here. He had his head so far back from the “aroma” that he almost fell over! I did warn the movers though that the couch had been routinely baptized by a myriad of feral kitties. I also doused the couch with as much Zero-Odor I had on hand, although it was to little to late! Heck, when I sat the couch out in the garage, I could smell it as I walked back to the house.

I find that I cry easily now. Buying dog food for Gretchen, I took the bag out to my car, sat down behind the wheel and promptly fell apart missing Kodie. Watched Marley and Me on Monday and both of us cried buckets. It was a good movie, but it was a definite catalyst for our grief.

Finished Michael Crichton’s book The Prey and started his other book Sphere. Such a talent, so sad he is no longer witih us.

Re-did the roll call on the refrigerator as it is flea-treating time again. Another round of tears for cats no longer with us; Guinevere, Twirl, Indiana, Jackson, Wilson, Madison, the distemper kitties. 🙁 List has gone way down.

Co-worker called me the other day out of the blue to ask to borrow a thousand dollars and did I have any food she could have, and by the way, would I like 26 cats! Boy, I have no idea what that was all about but I said no to everything. How in the world could I take 26 cats all at once? Talk about a pee festival happening!

Mike is still scaring me. Came home from work the other night and his blood sugar was 50! He was disoriented, clumsy and shaky. I got him some juice, candy and carbs and in a few hours he was better.

I have been working a lot of hours lately. My bosses’ daughter has breast cancer and her sister was recently diagnosed with cervical cancer. I am supposed to have 3 days off but I am on call and suspect I might have today off and nothing beyond that. At least I have a job because here the unemployment rate is the highest it has ever been!

Time to feed the monsters—
