I need one of those. Does it work on the other arm? I’m left-handed.
Happy Caturday, everyone.
Yes, they are ambidextrous and one size fits all.
Awwww, nothing like kitty hugs, they are the best. Had a few cats (and dogs) that liked to use my arm as a pillow. Always hated disturbing them but sometimes had to when the arm went to sleep.
Semi busy weekend here. Going up to visit our sick friend today and bring him groceries plus finish organizing his house. Sometime next month, we’ll be having a garage sale to help clear out some of the clutter. Then tomorrow, I’m heading to an all you can eat bbq festival with the added bonus of having a horse race. First time for me at the races, maybe I can place a bet on a underdog and win big. Wish me luck!! And somewhere in there, have to do chores now that the heat has broken somewhat, highs only in the 80s not the 90s (whoo hoo!!). Have a great weekend everyone!
Happy Caturday! I, too, would like a kitty hug.
Laundry ‘n’ stuff today. Fun..
I’m about to head out to Good Will with a carload of clothing, books, and tchotchkes (sp?). Boxes that never got unpacked when I moved here in June 2015 are now handled. My house feels at least 25% bigger! Now I’ve got space to rearrange the rooms and to plan an orgy of painting: palest yellow for the bedroom and grey-white for study, living room, and hallway.
My house gets appraised on Friday morning. Wish me luck!
This has been an incredibly stressful week. Thank goodness it’s over.
My sister was in Children’s Hospital with three of her kids for intense respiratory therapy, for ten days. The rest of the family took turns watching the others. She and the kids are home now.
I had a biopsy done on a lump under one eye on Thursday. I am now waiting for the results. I’m a little worried, as the surgeon had the samples personally rushed immediately to Pathology. Right now, the eye is almost swollen shut from the surgery, and is a lovely shade of bruised.
There was one ray of sunshine during the surgery. The nurse and I were discussing how we met our husbands, in an effort to calm me down. It turned out that she found her husband online, on a website called “Plenty of Fish”. Ever try to NOT laugh because the surgeon has a knife REALLY close to your eyeball?
On a more positive note, the temperature predictions for next week seem to have dropped five degrees. If it would rain and put the forest fires out, the last two weeks of August would be delightful.
Grocery shopping and stocking up on more crafting items today.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. Deb, I wish you mountains of luck.
Thinking of you Duckie. Waiting for pathology reports sucks.
Duckie, keeping my fingers crossed that you get a clean bill of health. So sorry about all the stress in your world these days.
Good luck. That’s a lot of stress and and pain.
Good luck to all of you enduring or doing!
I was going to work outside today but even tho’ the temp is down the humidity is so high I’m sweating buckets even in my air-conditioned studio. (It’s a large-ish space with just a small window unit, so it’s sort of cool but less humid)
We have a chipmunk – I may have already told you – his/her name is cheeky. How original. But it describes character as well as modus operandi.
Hubby is off to a regatta – it’s one that he helped start many years ago in Philly – for adaptive rowing. It’s really something to behold, sponsored by Bayada Nursing – Mark Bayada proprietor. The nurses and a cadre of volunteers help the disabled people – if they need help – get in and out of boats, row with them, etc. There are visually impaired, paraplegic, amputees, cerebral palsy victims – it’s an amazing event.
Awww – this could melt the coldest heart!
Happy Saturday All! Swee’Pea and I had a vet appointment this morning and I’ve just returned from Home Depot and IKEA to get things to spruce up the apartment I need to get rented. With the apartment boom in Philadelphia, rental prices have gone way up, (corresponding property taxes too) but amenities are expected – something my vintage ca.1885 house just can’t accommodate. Finger’s crossed these little fixes make the difference.
As for the vet appointment… it went surprisingly well. My Swee’Pea is a big nervous-nelly-scardy-kitty. Trying to catch him to put him in a cat carrier to get to the vet has left me bloody a few times. This new vet gave me some Gabapentin to calm him down. It worked! This was a follow up to a previous appointment for new medication because he licks all the fur off his tummy until it’s bloody. This vet has a relationship with a compounding pharmacy. Have you ever heard of such a thing? They take the medication your fur-baby needs and compound it into a treat. Swee’Pea gets one chicken or tuna flavored cyclosporin every day. He loves it and its not traumatic because he has no idea its good for him. And because he is finally getting the full dosage it seems to be working! It’s not cheap, but whadayagonnado?
To everyone good luck with projects health issues and staying cool. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! xo
Tara, that compounding pharmacy sounds wonderful! What a great idea! Good luck to Swee’Pea.
Thanks DebG!
Tara, is the name of the pharmacy Stokes? They’re in New Jersey. I et special meds for my cat through them.
Am wondering how our friend,Gigi the Catlady, is doing?
Yes! Gigi, if you’re lurking, we’re thinking of you.
