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.

Wednesday Early Update

Like I predicted, I got up around four am.

Started coughing. Got up.

Four of my five Purr Balls asked for breakfast.

Their dishes were actually empty.

Had I not paid attention to them like I usually do.

They weren't too mad at me.

I spoil them terribly normally.

Been up for almost two hours.

Read all my mail.

Played my games.

Games you say.

Well, yes.

Which ones you ask.

My favorite one is Back Gammon.

Next I play Battle Ship.

Third is Yacht.

Fourth is Mahjong,

And, if I have a cat napping on my lap,

I play hearts.

The games go fast.

Just a mental thing to do with morning coffee.

I also, play a few games on dare I say it, facebook.

A farm life for me and add in a castle.

Nothing like living the fantasy life.

After that and another cup of coffee,

I check out my blogs.

That's what I do in the mornings

while drinking coffee and petting cats.

I also check the world and local news.

My news is that my cough/cold is just a bit better.

Not gone but not as bad as it was.

Hope is that each night I will cough less than before.

I'm an optimistic one, I know.

The pinched nerve in my back is also on the mend.

Or at least the steroids and Icy Hot patches with ice packs

are making me think so.

I can put more weight on my leg.

Don't scream as much.

To me, that's a great improvement.

I'm on day two of my steroids.

No big problems so far.

And, that is my Wednesday Early Update
