Old Cat Lady

~ ^,,^ ~
Here I sit with my Crazy Cat Lady coffee cup.
Listening to the birds sing outside.
Telling me I need to refill their food.
Riley watched bird tv every morning.
Even if the feeders are empty.
I tell him that today I will get out.
And, my hope is that today I will do it.
Simple really.
Just walk outside and refill them.
Not as easy as one would think.
I am currently on week two of having my right leg not like me.
It's a lot better though with the steroids.
I can actually walk for a while before I remember
that my leg does not like to do what I ask of it.
Three more days of pills.
I expect wonderful things.
Like walking without pain.
Oh, wouldn't that be great if this works.
I have an appointment set up for next week.
Seeing a Dr. and hoping for a simple solution.
An mri is being scheduled.
We will see what it shows.
Old bones I would expect.
So, today while I cough with this ever nasty cold,
I hope that this old body decides to behave.
I have things to do.
Things I want to do.
If only my leg would behave.

Coffee With Woody



When isn't life crazy ?
I'm just asking
Cause mine seems nuts
And, I don't mean a good cashew

Just when you think everything has calmed down
Nope, something new knocks you back
Against the wall you go
Thinking .. I'm not old enough to handle this
Then you remember that you're not seventeen
You've lived on your own for a long time
Mom isn't going to give advice
When did I get old and wise
And, if I am that old
Why does this kind of stuff happen
Again and again and again

It's not like I live a wild life
I do sort of but really why me
I know ... what a silly thing to say
Of course me

It's just that I'd like some peace
To have things go right for once
To not have to worry about this or that

Without going into details
I just don't want to do this anymore
I want to wake up and be happy in the woods
~~~~~
The coffee is ok today
Bought it at Costco
Should save me lots of money
Got one of those big big bags
My freezer now smells like coffee
My son keeps telling me about it
I love it
~~~~
The girls are snoozing
Maddy Jean went out and rolled in the lawn clipping
Thus, I have the gates back up
The smell reminds me of Summer
The fresh air smell right after the lawn is mowed
~~~~
Had to refill bird tv before I had coffee
Wouldn't be right if there weren't birds eating
While I checked my email
Now would it
Plus, Riley and Jasmine were wondering
How long the commercial was going to be

So, how's your world today ?

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.
