Well, it's the 1st of October and we are cold. Cricket is upstairs sleeping in the bed. Billie is trying to curl up on my lap as I type and Toeshee is actually resting. Cody is sleeping on the enclosed porch, avoiding Toeshee.
Nothing much is going on. I need to do some cleaning, :( figure out what to do for dinner, and pick up some things at the store. None of that sounds fun.
I want to turn on the furnace so my fingers can warm up and my joints can loosen up a bit. We are trying to put off turning on the heat to save some money, but I'm so uncomfortable! Maybe just for a little bit? Must be nice to be floofy, Billie. :)
My daughter has a sinus infection from her head cold. She's on an antibiotic and hopefully will feel better soon.
I hope to take some new pictures soon. It seems like the kitties are only acting silly or cute when my camera is unavailable. (stinkers!)
I'm thinking of buying something naughty to eat when I go to the store. I really want something sweet to have with a cup of tea. I have lost a little weight, so it's ok, right? Yup, I will turn on the heat, have something yummy with a cup of tea and think of it as a reward for cooking and cleaning. ;)
Of course, I can't do anything until Billie gets off of my lap. Um, Billie...
Never mind, she's snoring.
Have a Happy Day!
The thing about cats,
As you may find,
Is that no one knows
What they have in mind.

Toshee seems to have a split personality. He will be sweet and snuggly for a bit, then out of the blue his pupils will grow and he becomes a wild child, biting and attacking and running around the house. I love him, but he's exhausting!
The weekend was quiet. My daughter still has a cough from her cold, so I think she will be seeing the doctor. She's tired from coughing so much and she didn't want to get up for school this morning. So, when the office opens I will try to get her in.
I found a new cat treat that I think Billie can tolerate in moderation. They are called Party Mix. They have rice gluten which I think is easier to digest. I still am careful with how much she gets now, but she seems very happy to have a special treat again. :)
Autumn is settling in here in Michigan now. It gets quite dark by 7:30 in the evening and it is supposed to be chilly and cloudy for most of the week. Not my favorite time of the year. Where did summer go? Oh, for just a few more warm sunny days! I promise not to take them for granted!
I hope the sun finds you this week. I will be visiting as many blogs as I can this week. Hopefully, it won't get too crazy, busy here!
Hugs<3
It was all about hanging around the house today, just me and the kitties. My husband went back to work still convinced he was the first man ever to catch a cold. ;) My daughter went back yesterday. I didn't mind waiting on them, but after fetching medicines and making chicken noodle soup (yes, homemade) I'm a bit worn out.
Billie was good company while I cut coupons and started a grocery list. She had been washing her brisket, (I'm told that's the name for the chest area of an animal.) and she ruffled up all of the fur. I think she looks cute all disheveled and sleepy. I still need to take the comb to her tonight, but I need to wait until Toeshee calms down. His wildness makes her nervous and cranky, then, I get all scratched up.
Cody is just not liking Toeshee at all. I'm constantly breaking up fights between the two and Toeshee is always starting them. I thought hoohaectomies calmed cats down! The only peace Cody gets is when I put Toeshee in the upstairs bathroom for the night. How long will I have to do that? Sigh... Nothing is ever easy is it?
The kitty sitting on the chair is one of the rubber stamps I ordered. After I colored her and cut her out, I cut out a chair from a magazine and glued her to it. I put folded paper under her to add dimension and glued the chair to an old card I had saved. I did it the other day while the soup was simmering. Not a great work of art, but it was fun. I love rubber stamping. It's so relaxing and I don't need the dexterity that I needed and no longer have for cross stitching.
Well, I'm slowly catching up on my blog visiting and hope to say "Hi' to as many as I can this week. For now, I'm going to watch Ghost Hunters and then make lunches for tomorrow.
Hugs for now!
I'm not sure if Toeshee is pretending to be a mechanic or if he's looking for a toy. He certainly keeps himself busy. He's still pretty naughty. Cody keeps trying to run outside to get away from him. He makes it out unsupervised when my husband opens the door. Usually I don't find out about it until later. Then I hurry to go look for him only to find him on the porch sleeping or napping in the plants in the garden. Whew!
Today is the first day of Autumn. It's usually a very short season here. Right after the leaves are finished turning color and many have fallen we will get freezing cold temperatures and often a dusting of the white stuff that I will not name. I like Fall when it's warm and mellow and golden. We are supposed to stay fairly warm this week so that will be wonderful.
We are going through our first head cold of the season here. First my daughter had it and now my husband. I'm the nurse. :) If I catch it I will just go to bed and not want to be bothered. (which is a good thing because neither of them know where anything is as far as medicine and such) ;)
I have been a bit off kilter lately with my blogging, but I hope to get back to it. I have been feeling a bit down. I'm hoping it will pass. I just don't want to be depressing while blogging. That's no fun.
I'll be sure to visit soon! Hugs!
You will see
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Through the Misty Veil
There is a Special Place for us
That one day we will share
You have gone before me my Love
And at times it is more than I can bear
Your precious spirit has moved on
You are happy and free
You visit me at night and whisper,
"One day my Love, you'll see, you'll see.
To your memories hold fast."
One day I will cross that Bridge
and pass through that Misty Veil
You and I together
My tears left for the past
I have just learned that Daisy's sister Pixie has gone to the Rainbow Bridge after living with a heart problem for a very long time. Pixie was so good and so brave. She took all of her medicines like a good kittygirl and as you know loved bananas very much. She is a beautiful tabby girl and I just know she is having a lovely time getting to know all of the furbabies that have gone before her. I think she and Tookie will be very good friends.
My heart is hurting for Daisy and her Mommie. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, Pixie, you are so sweet. We will miss you, but I know you will see your family in the blink of an eye. Goodbye for a little while.
