Feline weigh-in
Silver - 15.6 Scouty - 16lbs even. Tessie's asleep in the closet. I'll do her later. I think I might have made a mistake in my maths... I'll do Silver again tomorrow - she can't have gained ...
Doctors
Somewhat frustrating doctors visit this morning... feels like it was a waste of time, and of energy that I don't have to spare. My lungs are okay, not perfect, but better... he wrote me three day...
sick of being sick
This creeping crud in my sinuses is getting to me. Tuesday I thought I was all better, but I went to work with John yesterday so he wouldn't have to drive around alone, and by the time we were on...
Why is 'real food' so darned expensive?
John took me to Winn-Dixie this morning to get diabetic-friendly groceries... I got a ton of frozen vegetables (literally, they have several varieties in five pound bags for six bucks each - I've...
Feeling better
I was getting some kind of creeping crud in my sinuses... felt very unwell over the weekend. Saturday we had to go to Walgreens and pick up test strips for John and we stopped at a yard sale on t...
A couple of old crocks...
What a fun, fun day we're having today... spent all morning in the doctor's office with John. His blood sugar has gone crazy (480-something) and I had a major asthma attack last night, so I had t...

Thanks to female hormones going full-tilt I feel like compete and utter crud today... sometimes I think menopause can't come too soon - since I wasn't ever able to have a kid and use the female p...
weekly feline weigh-in
Tessie - 8.4lbs Silver - 15 pounds Scouty - 16lbs I can't weight Zho-Zho unless I want to be bitten and clawed... I tried last week and she freaked out and bit me to make me put her down. No...
Doc appointment
Well, I survived my doctor's appointment this morning... I was really nervous about it because I HATE doctors, but it went fine. He's very happy with my cholesterol and blood-pressure, I asked fo...
Weighed the cats
weighed the cats a few minutes ago... Silver - 15.2lbs Scouty - 16.8lbs The vet weighed Zho-Zho on Saturday and she was 13.75lbs. And Tessica is 8.4lbs. The controlled diet is well overdue f...
Today is another day
Today I washed two loads of laundry, fed the cats (twice), bought groceries and collected 33c/gallon of fuel perks for John so he'll save about five bucks filling up his tank tomorrow... then I c...
Restricted feeding, day 2.
The cats seem to be taking to their restricted diet remarkably well... seems as if they're a lot more tolerant of these crazy humans than I ever thought they would be. Every time I get food for m...
Feline Issues
Zho-Zho's been having digestive issues lately - she was constipated for a few weeks and now she's got diarrhea instead) and we were getting worried that she had something serious wrong with her,...
Nice night out
This afternoon the thunderstorms rolled through and I was really worried that the cruise was going to be rained out... but they moved on about four o'clock and while the evening was damp, it didn...
Under the weather
Not feeling well the last few days... not especially SICK... but needing ventolin overnight, tired, and icky. At least part of it is from the tropical storm offshore (is that why they call it 'un...
blah blah
John worked from home today... well, technically he always works from home because he doesn't have an office, but today he didn't go out on any calls - he sat on the phone and his work laptop for...
Ow!
Sciatica... I think that says it all. Had hideous insecurity dreams last night, and we had to get up early today because they were coming to check out the a/c at 8am. So I did a load of laundry...
Pushed myself this weekend
I pushed myself WAY too hard this weekend... what did I do that was so demanding??? Yesterday morning the church was having a super sale of their thrift store stuff and I wanted to be over there ...
Photo time!
Go see my blog okay... I've been being creative this week.
I have plants!
Lots of small improvements this week... nothing really major, just little things that make the duplex feel more like the home I want it to be. John's wall mount for the tv arrived this week, and ...
insurance
John just got a seems-too-good-to-be-true insurance quote from Geico and they said it wouldn't cost any extra to have me on it as a learner driver... I've wanted to get my license for seven years...
Exhausticating day
So freaking exhausted tonight! I got a late start for church today so John offered to get up and take me. He dropped me off and I told him I'd walk home... church ran nearly half an hour over tim...
My birthday presents are here
All of the packages came today. :) I haven't put the cat steps/scratcher together yet, but I got the walker out of its box and assembled it because all you had to do was attach the removable back...
28 days
How come four weeks can go so darned quickly... seems like it was only yesterday that my cycle began and now it's over already. I'd swear it was 'too soon' but that's just because I didn't get PM...
Happy birthday to me! (PS added)
It's friday and the cupboards are pretty bare... and it's my birthday. John had to work a long hard day today, but he stopped at Publix on his way home and brought me home a gorgeous birthday cak...
Book Description
I wasn’t eager to bail on it. I’ve consistently kept at least one diary over on the open diary site for the last 13 years. But since they’ve sadly abandoned it and they can’t make the site work for more than an hour at a time, it was either time to give up, give in, or switch… if anybody has any tips for how to extract 13 years worth of diary from there and bring it here, I’d love to hear them. If I can figure it out, saving some of my past would be nice… otherwise I’ll have to start fresh, so welcome! I’m female, 42, happily married for the last nine years come December, and I live in Florida with my husband John and our five cats. My health is a bit of a trainwreck the last few years and DH has problems too, but aside from that we live a very ordinary life. I do the best I can each day…
