Friday Updates

~ ~ ~

Just wanted to give you an update.

I'm home. Doing fine.

On lovely pain meds.

My surgery went fine.

I got option one which is what we all hoped for.

I did have trouble during surgery with my heart.

Woke up to a crazy whirl wind of nurses and Dr's.

Spent the night in the icu heart department.

My heart beats too fast or too slow.

Of course it does ...

I'm home.

With Jasmine and my dogs.

The boys, Riley, Ashton and Al sleep at the end of the bed.

Meredith Ann has been a great visitor to me.

Even though she doesn't sleep with me.

Remember, she has her own special room.

I have my second surgery at the end of the month.

That removes my stint.

All in all, my kidney surgery went as well as I could have hoped.

Now, to mend and figure out what's wrong with my heart.

Enjoy your weekend and pet those purr balls,

XO,

JC

Paint On Her Nose

~ PAINT ~

It's been a painting weekend.

Ladders in the entry hall.

Paint on the landings.

Blue tape on the edges of everything.

Me, I do the rolling.

Mr. Boatman does the edging.

That way the ceiling doesn't look like a mess.

The dogs have been helping.

Jodie got paint on her nose.

I tried to get it off.

This morning she has just a big dot left.

This old house in the woods,

will be almost totally painted

in a week or so.

We could have had someone else do it

but then I wouldn't have

a cute paint puppy,

would I ...

What's On Your List



Riley shows off his stripes

It's Friday !!!

Seems like it was a long week.

Mostly due to me being sick.

Yuck !!!

Hate feeling like an old sick cat lady.

Today, I actually think I'll get something on my list done.

Yeah !!!

Not really but there's always a lot that I have to check off.

If I don't get these things done, who will .. no one.

So, I've already done a few of them.

Got up around five thirty.

Nothing like having coffee in the dark.

The dogs have been in and out and in and out.

Mostly due to me getting them in from the frozen deck.

If the water bowl is total ice,

I don't really think they should stay out there

like it's sunny and warm.

I told them if the sun comes out

that I would let them stay til they bark to come in.

(the sun is supposed to come out sometime today)

Anyway, it's Friday !!!

Do I have plans for the weekend.

Not really.

That list is always long.

There's a puppy chewing on me as I type this.

How did that happen ?

She barked and I got her inside.

Her older sister who was sitting out on the deck

wanted to stay but I told her no.

So, thus the in and out goes on.

Maybe they'll take a puppy nap.

Do I get to take one too ?

By the way, with my coffee this meowning

I had a lovely buzz saw migraine join in.

Those are just no fun.

I think I will get another cup of coffee.

For the Holidays, I got a Keurig machine.

Been having fun trying out this and that flavors

and I also use my old coffees.

Got one of the filters with it too.

And, that is my story for this Friday.

What are you up to and do you have any plans ?

Beware Of The Napping Orange Baby Boy

Riley Andrew napping under the chair.

He is always doing something.

The girls

(Jasmine and Meredith)

are screaming at him all the time.

I'm always telling him to get along.

He just loves life.

This house is his playground.

He yells and runs and jumps and chases.

Since the day I brought him home,

he's been wild and crazy and causing trouble.

I caught him sleeping.

You'd think it was peaceful.

Nope, he was still causing trouble.

He just took a nap while waiting.

Hope you enjoy your weekend !!

Thank You

Thank You

to KC at the Cat Blogosphere

for making this for me and Bella.

Sabrina Isabella was ten years old on June 21st.

She was my birthday present.

I always told her she was the best

chocolate that I'd ever had.

Thank You to all of you

who have left comments.

I will try to visit your blogs

sometime next week.

It has helped my soul to know

that so many of you

understand what I am feeling.

The loss is so great

that it is hard to breath.

Maddy Jean and I are doing better today.

We're sticking together like twins.

Again, Thank You

and I hope you have

a Purrfect Weekend.

Bella would want that.

Friday Updates

I've been busy.

Didn't even get Meredith Ann's blog done on Monday.

My son is graduating next week from High School.

Been doing last minute things for that.

During this crazy week,

Riley Andrew has been entertaining all of us.

A box.

Yes, a box can be so much fun.

Looks like it's going to be another busy weekend.

Bark being delivered on Saturday morning.

Son has finals to study for.

You name it and it needs to be done like yesterday.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

A Dog And Her Frog

Maddy Jean is in love,

this week at least, with a frog.

While cleaning up the bonus room,

I gave her a few of the old toys.

One of them was this frog.

It has a rattle inside.

When she shakes it about,

it makes an almost frog like sound.

My Dear Maddy Jean is thrilled.

Here she is with her two frogs.

Yes, there is a theme going on.

Hope you have a

Fabulous Weekend !!!

~ JC & Maddy Jean ~

For all of you who are Mother's,

 (human or fur or purr or other)

I hope you enjoy your Day.

This is a GOOD Day

I hope everyone had a fabulous

 St. Patrick's Day.

My college basketball team won.

I enjoyed a brew

in a green bottle while watching.

(Tried to find a green one

but what I had tasted good)

I have two teams in the battle

for the Sweet Sixteen.

(Yes, they are mine)

Today, I'm talking about life.

Sometimes it's bad, aweful, no joy.

Lately, it's been darn good.

Like today and yesterday.

Could be due to my pain level.

I live with it everyday.

Normally, it's bad, terrible,

most would be crying all day.

The last week has been fabulous.

Stand up and cheer kind.

Why ?

 I don't know and I'm not asking.

Just in case it would cause it to go away.

Whomever the less pain fairies are,

I love them.

So, on this Friday,

 even though it's rainy

and when isn't it,

This is a good day.

A fabulous day.

A day to be remembered.

Hope you all have a

Fabulous Weekend.

If there's a cat ...

Maddy Jean & Bella at our beach place

My weekend was nice

Busy but relaxing

Went to our beach place

To mow that lawn

And, pull a few of those wild weeds

Rushed back home
(packed)

Checked into our hotel

(found the hotel puppy)

Went oooo and awe

Over the view
(and the puppy)

Went to our party

(not ours but you get the idea)

Talked to old and new faces

Found a cute Siamese cat
to hold while others got silly

(if there's a cat I'm the one to find it)

Walked around the marina

Had breakfast over looking the marina

Went home to clean up this house

Found one of my three owls

I think I'm getting rather good at taking owl photos ... don't you ?

And, there were no real crazies

Amazing ...

(ok, one tried at the parts store but I'm not counting that one)

How was your weekend ?

~ JC ~

What the ...

Lavender from my front yard

It's Friday !!!!!

Been a very odd week.

Weird, odd, quirky things keep happening.

Another one this morning that just makes my head go

WHAT THE ...

Life just throws stuff at us

It's how we handle it that matters

I know that

Only can I have a few hours

To just complain

Enough is enough

Didn't I say that yesterday

Well, I'm going to say it again

ENOUGH ...

OK, now that that's settled

I wish you all a Marvelous Friday

And, have FUN this Weekend !!!

~ JC ~

Crazy

Riley Andrew

He is on the mend

Feeling better each day

Al & Ashton

Hanging out together

on the old den couch

It's Friday

Sunny out

At least it looks like it will be nice

Yesterday was a crazy day

Lots of weird things happened

Where you shake your head

and go WHAT

And you go over it again

in your head

and still go WHAT

I think it will be a busy weekend

I just need some

peace & quiet

Sometimes my life gets

CRAZY

And my old coma brain

gets tired

Today I plan on being

quiet

well, as much as I can

with five cats & two dogs

What are your plans

for the

weekend ?
