Cats, Crafts and Cleaning




Wake us when it's Springtime

Hey all. How are you? Mr. Cody here to say hi.

And me Toeshee!

Cody : We heard Robins singing this morning. There is still lots of snow outside, but the sun is shining today. I want Momma to let me out to inspect the gardens, but she said no. We have to wait for the snow to melt and the temperatures to warm up. I am going stir crazy!

Toeshee: Just eat and nap and play with our cat toys Cody.

Cody: I don't like your idea of playing Toeshee. You jump and wrestle and bite! I like to play chase and hide -n- seek, but I hate it when you sink your teeth into me!

Momma Lorianna: These two boys of mine are a handful. They are more rowdy than the girls and eat more often too. Boys will be boys right? :)

I am hoping to get a cordless vacuum this weekend. It will make cleanup so much easier for me. Yesterday I swept the stairs, the hallway and the litterbox area. It was such a pain, literally and figuratively. The cat hair on the steps was like tumbleweeds!

I have been taking a different pain reliever called Tramadol. I take it with an acid reducer and an anti nausea drug. It is just okay as far as pain relief. It makes me a bit spacy, which I guess helps one not focus on the pain as much. But I don't think there is anything thing out there that can take away this kind of joint pain. It's just a matter of learning to live and function despite it. Most days, I think that's possible. I'm still waiting for that magic wand to take away the Sads and the pain.

I have been doing some crafting again, which is a really nice way to unwind. I have been making altered tags and envelopes for Easter. Lots of rubber stamping, glitter, ribbons, and coloring.
If anyone would like one, just let me know! I have six done so far and can usually manage about two a day. And Easter isn't even here until early next month! You will be doing me a favor, because me hands need the physical therapy and my mind needs something happy to focus on.
e-mail me at lfeecat@jasnetworks.net if you would like a card. They're not exactly masterpieces but, they are made with Love.

Have a really Happy week!

Cody and Toeshee: Bye! Hugs and Purrs!

You are very right about BOYS being a handful. ::shoots Hard Look at Harley::

We totally understand the difference between the boys and the girls - it is very obvious at our house!

We are glad that spring is headed your way - we haven't really seen any signs here yet.

I was on tramadol when I tore the muscle in my shoulder - I admit that I didn't find it very helpful, but I know others who took it and said it worked well. I guess it just depends on the person. I hope they can come up with some sort of magic something to make you feel better - I think feeling less pain will help with the sads (though I am much more achy lately and much more sad lately, so maybe that works both ways).

It is great that you are back to crafting again - I can relate to that too - I had stoppegd working on jewerlry for a while because I was just too depressed but I started back again on Monday. I think it will make both of us a bit happier to accomplish something enjoyable. I always love your cards so we would love to get one. We put yours on our tree at Christmas, because I was afraid the cats would go for it. It was pretty and tempting!

Sending you lots of hugs and purrs!

Mom says that's why she got a little girlkitty!

You know we love your handmade cards and you can send us one anytime.

I keep purraying that your pain will ease up and eventually go away.

Herman must be an exception to the rowdy boys rule. He is anything but rowdy, though he does like to run down the hall at full speed. I would love to get one of your cards. I will email you my address.

Fairy God Mother here to wave her magic wand and make things all better for you.....WHAT I didn't renew the magic wand subscription!!??? How could I forget to do that when my friends need help? Oh I am so sorry so I guess I will leave a soft hug and a bucket of love instead. We are lazy and not doing much crafty stuff this spring time...we need to organize the craft room...mommy can't find anything anymore which means she has too much junk and won't get rid of it...sob story I know. Our fairy wings didn't turn out well either...they fell off:( we are in a slump....oh well, better just take a nice nap. The sun is shining and HUNNY BUNNY Is sleeping in the window seat...all our adoring love to you
