Hi Tabi-kitty cat. I've not been going to Pb much & just looked today for the first time in ages it feels. Thanks for asking, sweetie.
I've been busy, Yes, spring is here but then we never did have winter. We just had a long drawn out fall. Couple of weekends ago, we had all the winter we're going to have. Two days, the temperature never quite got above freeqing but by Monday, it was 16 again (that's 61 F.). The garden centre at work is full of shrubs, pansies & primroses & all sorts of other spring flowers. But I've cut my hours back. I hate the attitude of the sotre towards its employees & besides, I find I spend a fair amount of time looking after Medusa, my kidney kitty.
She's getting much better though she'll never return to normal. But if I can get her to eat & drink mostly on her own, I won't have to keep "assist" feeding her (with an oral syringe - she considers it torturing her, probably preliminary to murdering her). It's taken forever to track down all the things I can do for her & meds & over-the-counter stuff I can add to make her life good again. Thank goodness, this is Canada. Most of the stuff I can get otc here, but in the States, most is prescription stuff. Been busy reading & asking questions a lot on a couple of CRF cat forums, but I don't want to spend my whole day on the comp, so I've ignored PB.
Had my third son & a room mate also move in our new place downstairs with my youngest living there permanently. It's only temporary but still very crowded for them. Three guys downstairs in a one-bedroom suite filled with furniture (2 sofas, 1 loveseat, 2 arm chairs, & boxes & boxes of stuff). They can barely move about. But it's only for 2 weeks & I have the entire upstairs with my other son!! Plus I can go down & drink my son's hootch, borrow his CDs (he has hundreds of them), & what not. Talk about role reversal & the Mom being the irresponsible one!
So if you don't see me posting much, I'm busy with other things & getting ready to fight the annual onslaught of slugs & snails that will soon come out in droves. Plus, now that this place is finally & really ours, I plan to dig & build around the gardens till my strength runs out or I snag one of my sons into doing it.
