    How is December going for you?

    So sorry to hear of your ladies' troubles. (hugs)

    .

    I have been very weak, with no energy. Either sleeping all day or not being able to sleep at all. I hurt constantly. I did end up in the hospital again with multiple TIAs in May. Five spots.

     

    My daughter has been ill a lot this fall and winter. She has cat scratch fever and Bell's Palsy.

    My volunteer experience - newest post in #45

    I went again Wednesday and am going this afternoon, both to do cat socialization. There are two adult cat rooms and one kitten room. I spent 30 minutes in each adult cat room and 20 minutes in the kitten room. Then I met another volunteer, I think he said his name was Paul, and we went around together cleaning litter boxes and he showed me where all the supplies were. So I should be able to do it myself today if no one else has beaten me to it. To be honest, it was kind of boring just playing with the cats. Really all I did was walk around the room and try to spend a couple of minutes with each one hanging out on a shelf. Then I sat on the floor and let the needy ones come to me. There were some hisses and I got some baby bites from the ones that didn't want to be petted. I can't see how they're going to be adopted. 

     

    I'm scheduled to go 3 mornings next week to help clean. I might do some afternoon socializing as well. We'll see.

     

    So my DH laughs at the type of stuff that worries me. Here's one. The trash can that we use for litter cleaning is a tall kitchen kind. The bags, however, don't seem to fit it well. The bag was on so tight it was hard to get out of the can. And when I went to put the new one in, I couldn't stretch the bag over the rim of the can. Paul had to do it for me. So if I have to do it myself today, what am I going to do? I'll just have to lay the bag over the rim and hope someone comes along and fixes it and doesn't curse me for leaving it undone.

     

    Thanks for asking!

     

    Wonderful to hear! 

     

    Sounds like a great start. :-)

    So let's talk Thankgiving

    The last couple of years we have gone to Cracker Barrel for their Thanksgiving meal. No muss, no fuss! We then go to a matinee.

     

    It is just the three of us and we don't care to eat turkey and all the fixing for days and spend a whole day cooking it all and trying to find room in the fridge. Not to mention all the calories.

    My daughter is just as pale as I am and several years ago when we went to BBB at the Magic Kingdom, she wanted to be Tiana. She was Tiana and I don't care if anyone had a problem with it.

     

    Tiana is one of my daughter's favorite princesses. She likes how hard working she is, that she does not quit, and thinks she is the most beautiful princess of them all.

     

    IMO, some people need to just get over themselves.

    My daughter who is an avid animal supporter, has been chosen to represent our small organization, Feline Lifeline. She has received two tickets to the Furr Ball and it is being held on Oct 6th. She will be 14 on October 3rd. She is about 5'2" and weighs 86 pounds. I think she will be a double 0. I tried looking for pictures off the ball and cant find any online. What would be appropriate for her to wear? I was thinking a knee length cocktail dress that is age appropriate, heels, her hair done, light makeup. Does she have to wear a full length gown?  My husband will be taking her. Do we need to rent him a tuxedo? There will be dinner and music, and a silent auction. it will be from 6pm till 11pm.

    Let's see. Have laundry going both in the washer and dryer. Going to get Neg up and go to breakfast. Then get started on her schoolwork. When mostly finished and having taken a break for lunch earlier, we need to run to her doctor to pick up her shot records. I need a bang trim, grab a few groceries, and take my son to the DMV. Stop by the mall to grab Meghan's new khaki slacks and red polos for AHG.Get home and get my house in order which will be an all week ordeal. Not a hoarder, lol. Just behind on little things here and there and need to get these things completed to start the coming week with a clean slate.
