Cody would not pose nicely for me so I could show his eyes. He has some fur missing over his right eye, but other than that he is all better.
I wanted to participate in the Doodle fund raiser linky, but I can't get it to work on my laptop. I'm sure it's due to my lack of computer skills. I am enjoying the doodles on other's blogs though. Very cute! :)
I have a lot of sick day catch up work to do today, but I will try to visit as many bloggie friends as possible.
I hope everyone had a good Monday. (is there such a thing?)
SMOOCHIES!
This Picture is titled, "Night With Her Train Of Stars." Night is the Mother and The Stars are Her Children. :)
I hope everyone whether they are Moms of human kids, fur baby kids, both human and fur baby or Not The Momma of fur babies, :) have a very Happy Mother's Day.
My throat feels better, but I still managed to catch my daughter's head cold. She's sick, I'm sick and my husband is bored. :) Oh well, it's raining here anyway. It's a good day to read and watch bad television. Last night I was so stuffed up I was breathing through my mouth and couldn't sleep. I'm so glad TV Land was playing a M*A*S*H marathon. I love that show.
Have a really great rest of the weekend and I hope you all stay healthy!
Well, it's finally Friday and I have accomplished nothing. Guess what I have? Strep Throat. I thought maybe I was coming down with a cold, but the burning throat wouldn't go away. I have had Strep so much and I knew it, but I just didn't want to admit it. Now, I'm on antibiotics, drinking lots of tea and living off soup and cold chocolate pudding. I'm so mad! I have a Birthday cake to make and I need to get my daughter something for her Birthday. I'm thinking that if I follow up my pain medication for my RA with a Motrin or two, maybe I can do what I need to do. (sigh)
Doesn't Billie look cozy? She is on my lap while I'm using my laptop. She does that a lot. Getting up off the floor is a challenge, but I really like sitting in the living room. Right now Billie is on the love seat behind me, snoring. :)
Cricket is showcasing my new locket. She is a bit of a jewelery thief and usually drags her treasures to the top of the sofa, or under it. She also likes emery boards. I have found missing emery boards under the sofas a lot. Maybe she sharpens her claws and fangs with them.
I'm going to visit a few blogs, take some meds, take a nap and then try to get some things taken care of. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Where is the week going? Today is another busy day and I'm so tired. My daughter has her doctor's appointment this morning and after that I really need to get caught up on housework. I need extra hours in the day. :)
My birthday was okay. My husband gave me a pretty locket and a bookstore card. I can't wait to go to the bookstore again. It's my favorite place. Some women are addicted to shoes; I'm hooked on books.
The Vet's office called to check on Cody and I happily told them that he was doing so much better. The swelling around his eyes is gone! I wish our doctors were as nice about following up. I'm just glad my kitty's doctor cares.
Today is supposed to be rather rainy and we are not going to have really warm weather for the rest of the week. I must remind myself "It's only May."
I need to start taking more pictures. I like getting pictures from "Art Magic"
but, I want to post more garden and kitty pictures.
Thank You for all the Birthday wishes. I think when we get to be a (ahem) certain age Birthdays are not so fun anymore. ;)
Have A Wonderful Wednesday. I will visit everyone as much as I can today. I so look forward to visiting all of my blogging friends.
Cody is feeling so much better! The swelling in his eyes has reduced a lot and they are not runny anymore. He was rough housing with Cricket this morning, irritating her as usual. (I think she likes it more than she's willing to let on.)
This past weekend was too busy with grocery shopping and returning clothes that my daughter decided that she didn't want and finding clothes that she did. * -* When we decided to go to the bookstore every one's mood improved.
This week I have to bake a birthday cake for my husband and daughter. They share the same birthday and it's on Saturday. :) Mine is tomorrow, but I am trying not to think about it. I am kind of hoping that they do remember Mother's Day this year though.
I think to not make house cleaning so overwhelming I will just concentrate on one room a day, giving it a really thorough cleaning. That way by the weekend the house should be in pretty good shape. Too bad I can't get the cats to pick up their cat toys when they are done playing with them.
One early morning, my husband walked through the dark living room and stepped on a mouse that squeaks when it's moved. It scared him for a second until he realized what it was. :)
Mondays can be rather blah and daunting when you think of everything that you have to do for the week. I will make time during the day to visit my blogging friends and that , will as usual cheer me up. I will try not to over do it with the cleaning and baking. I don't want to end up with another round of fevers again! Not a fun way to spend a spring day.
Have a happy early May day!
Cody has conjunctivitis. The Vet said she does not believe it to be viral. She put in some drops that turned florescent when it comes in contact with the eyes. Then she can see if it collected in his corneas to see if they were damaged. Fortunately he doesn't have any eye damage that she could see. She put in an anti-inflamation gel-ointment right against his eyeballs in a thin bead across the eyes. We must do this for him 3 times a day. My poor Cody Bear!
He was so good, as he usually is. She always calls him a senior citizen. :)
We are wondering if he somehow got something in his eyes outside. I do let him wander into the neighbor's yard. Maybe they sprayed it with something?
I feel awful. I thought it would be fine to let him play outside, because I kept a close watch. I guess it wasn't enough. A couple of weeks ago I noticed two dead birds in our yard, over the property line of the neighbor's. They didn't have a single mark on them, just dead as if they'd dropped from the sky. Maybe the neighbor's lawn is perfect because he uses chemicals? Just thinking of Cody having that in his eyes makes me cry. I tried to keep it together in the Vet's Office, but I feel like a bad kitty mom.
The Vet said he should be feeling better by the end of the weekend. When we came home he ate a lot of stinky goodness and crawled under the sofa. Other than his eyes he checked out very healthy.
Thank You All for your purrs and prayers. Wish us luck putting the ointment in his eyes just like his doctor did. I'm so afraid I will scratch his eyeball, but my husband said he watched her closely and we just need to be firm and not let him wiggle. I think Cody is going to be wrapped like a kitty burritto in a bath towel.
Have a happy weekend. =^..^ =
Billie: "Knock Knock!"
Momma (me): "Who's there?"
Billie: "Tuna!"
Momma: "Tuna who?"
Billie: "That lady can tun-a her instrument, but she can't tun-a fish!"
Momma: "Very good Billie! Now I hope I can figure out how to link your joke to help that nice lady and her kitties."
Billie: "I want tuna juice now. Mmm tuna juice, nom nom nom..."
Cody's eyes are about the same. He is acting normal and doesn't seem really bothered. His appointment is tomorrow afternoon. I hope Karla and Miss Peach are right and it's just bad pollen allergies. Our pollen levels are going up. He's getting tired of me bathing his eyes, but so far he's been a very good boy about it.
I will let everyone know what it is. I like the Vet, but I don't like going there anymore. Sad memories of Tookie going to the Bridge...
Take care and have a nice evening with those you love.
Cody would not pose nicely for me so I could show his eyes. He has some fur missing over his right eye, but other than that he is all better.
