Oatmeal & Banana


I'm having Oatmeal with banana slices for breakfast. In my blue bowl of course. I always have a dilemma of what to have ... toast, fried egg with toast, share a bagel with the girls ... my dogs, Sabrina Isabella & Maddy Jean or do the instant oatmeal with sliced bananas. I had two bananas that were going to go .. soon ... so, decision made. I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee since it's almost 9.


Been looking up new blog templates. Not sure I want to pay for one since I don't really know what I'm going to be writing about. Maybe later when I know what's what.


It's a quiet Friday morning. Birds are singing. My dog is snoozing by my feet. My son has the day off & my husband is working. I have all sorts of things that I need to put on my 'to do' list. I always make one in the morning. Since my coma, I have a tendency to forget what I was supposed to do. It's ok but at the end of the day I don't get much done that way. So, the daily list is a must. (I was in a coma & that's a long story but I'm sort of ok now. Have relearned to walk & I remember most words but if I run into something new I just look it up. I'll talk more about 'it' later)


Plans for the Weekend ~ Might go to the beach house on Saturday. We have to check up on it every once in a while. The dogs like it there. They get to run around the yard & bark at the birds & the people who walk by. A lot of them are walking their dogs so, that makes the barking so much fun. Won't be bringing the cats since it's such a short visit. Anyone with cats knows that you don't take the cat for a long car ride just for a weekend trip. At least not my four.


How am I feeling today ~ The basic right side weakness. Headache is visiting but not too bad so far. A bit blurry but I'm hoping it doesn't go into full buzz saws. I'm thinking a fabulous day !!


Supposed to have a delivery today ... hot tub cover .. I have to wait around all day ... you all know how that goes. I'll do my 'list' & if I don't feel like doing that ... I'll read my book. And which one is that you ask ... I finished Edgar Sawtelle last week. Went to Barnes and Noble ... got two books. The one I started is The Known World by Edward P. Jones. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Thought I would add a bit of culture to my life. I need that so much don't I ...


The girls are looking at my blue bowl with great interest. I spoil them just a bit. Not really. I just treat them how every dog should be & a bit more to make up for all those who aren't spoiled.


That's it for my 2nd blog. You all have a nice weekend now. I'll be thinking of you ... whoever you are ... while walking the beach looking for my tiny sand dollars. LOL No I won't !!!

Hi! Thank you for following my blog. I spent time reading your posts down through this one and stopped, wondering things...like where you live, why were you in a coma, how did you come to love cats so much? Nosey, I am. I am thinking if I keep reading I'll find the answers. Very much like your reflections on cats, the water, the woods.

Ca Girl ~ I found you & liked the way you write. I'm very new to blogging. Just started. I wrote a sort of answer after I read your note. I will write more about each item as the moments grab me. I'm a recovering coma survivor & I absolutely love my cats & dogs. Spring is about to bring me my elusive Lilacs !!!!

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
