Seriously - I am trying to just get caught up with everyone. I have been in sort of a fog, I guess. The thing is that everything is fine. I just need to remind myself to stay positive. Hubby is up taking care of his Dad and we need to remember what a privilege that is. Just that type of thing - look to the positive instead of the negative.

Hubby told me that on Tuesday night when he was up there, he was so depressed that he searched thru his suitcase to look for love notes from me. (I think I must have stuck 6 of them in there) Well, he didn't find any. So this morning when he woke up, he found 2 of them. It made his day. So, there are a few more for him to find and I'll mail him something right away. Need to look for the positive.

That is so cute Nora... :h:h:h You're very lucky that you and your man feel so deeply for each other... :l

Nora, that is so sweet! Yes, we have to send love notes and positive reinforcements, etc.

I hear you. It's a struggle to stay positive, especially where parent care is concerned.

2 cats on the bed. Having had their freshly made cat food as their late night snack. Now looking at the packet of Temptations as they get those as a late night snack AFTER their late night snack. Sigh. I am a slave to that pair... :h

Did they eat together Nora?!

LOL Dottie! That is a crowd you have there girlfriend! ) It must be a cuddle-fest on your bed.

I cheat... I pull the cat tree in to the bedroom every night before I go to sleep... otherwise I can't sleep myself! Dougie is very conscious of people's space but Hamish will lie on your head quite happily. He plonks himself on you... no decorum whatsoever...

Are you ready for your RV/dealership experience tomozz? Good luck with it... I hope they give you a good deal.

Oh my gosh! Not a chance. My two dogs are ok - but the four cats, two of them are come & go away for periods of time and then the other two are brother & sister that used to love each other and now fight! So, the brother & sister want to come in every day and I try to separate them from the living room to my bedroom. Then we have Peach ( big male - beautiful kitty - with a mind of his own) and he shows up when he wants to. And then we have Freddie (very old BEAUTIFUL kitty that comes around to eat but so scared of the other kitties & dogs). It really breaks my heart. Freddie must be 15 years old. We try to bring her in the house but she jumps behind the washer and huddles by the hot water heater.

Nora... I had one called Seamus once and he was very skittish too. The other cats didn't bother him though.

I'm going to turn in for the night and I'll see youz on the morrow. Sleep tight Nora. XXX

Jeez. I had to read back five pages just to say g
Hello!
Maybe I need a fitbit.
I am looking forward to growing old with my husband and kids and grand kids someday.
I try not to think about disease, etc. I just take it a day at a time, in that regard.
I DO know that the stress of my current work situation is a killer and beginning to take its toll.
Coffee.....
Hubs leaves me live notes, but rarely. It's usually me doing the mushy stuff.

Mama, I will sleuth around and come up with a good one for you today!

I slept so good last night...maybe I should be a body guard for demented, pacing persons as a career! :H

Nora, that's sad about Freddie.

Zen, that's why Booty can't sleep upstairs with Mrs. Fen and me...she gets stoopid and walks on our heads, bladders in the wee hours...no pun intended. :H
