Woke to thunderstorms and more rain.
...it's going to rain forever...
Our weatherman says for the next five days.
~sigh~
But my friend, Susan, and I plundered Dunkin's yesterday...and brought home doughnuts...and all is right with the world.
I now have raspberry jelly filled Dunkin Doughnuts...Vanilla coffee...and a good book.
...The Oral History of Bob Marley...
Also Tux, my cat, who is now on
house arrest...until his breakaway collar arrives.
To make a long story short...he went outside (per usual) early in the week...while it was still misty and gray. Uncharacteristically, he did not return when the sun came up.
He often makes the trip back to Susan's where his play buddy/girlfriend Honey/Ginny lives.
He wasn't there.
She and I called each other frequently that day...but no sign of Sir/ Tux.
...I call Honey, Ginny...she calls Tux, Sir...
As it got later we realized he...who never knows a stranger...had been temporarily abducted...
Let in by some well-meaning but unsuspecting soul...soon to find out that when the sun sets he turns into A THING that will tear your door facing...paint...and carpeting up to get out/back home.
As soon as it was dark he instantly reappeared.
He knows where he lives.
There is no bigger better deal for him out there.
"They closed the door behind me, Mom!"
Phoned Susan, to let her know he was home.
Then placed him on House Arrest until I can collar him...and everyone will know he is a owned/loved cat.
...he is not amused...
Dayne's mom ( Donna) from the lake sent me the best...but an older...photo of Chris, this week.
Hard to believe that in a couple of weeks
Lachlan will be two!
His Aunty, Kimberly, the chicken lady bought him his own chick to join her flock.
...since her nickname for him is LOKI...it is only appropriate they named the chicken THOR...
He is completely smitten!Chris and Tina are great, and we are all getting together soon to celebrate his 2nd birthday.
This year's party theme: CONSTRUCTION.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, Lennon and I have to rescheduled his summer trip. We will do this soon!
James has been busy with his music, work, and the kids.
Brenden...Hannah...Aiden... And recently turned me onto a movie I had missed earlier
A tongue-in-cheek commentary on the future state of AI.
Excellent film!
John's week next is filled with scheduled tests..the first of which was this week.
The MRI (brain) came back completely normal...no sign of recurrence of the excised tumor...which is fantastic news!!!
Also, they discovered why he has been feeling so fatigued and bad the past few weeks.
He had lost a lot of weight.
A LOT.
And they had not reduced/recalibrated his BP medications.
His BP was dropped to 90/40.
That is why he was collapsing/couldn't hardly walk across a room.
Now he is doing much better...gaining strength...doing PT at home...and slowly recovering!
...another mystery solved...
We should know more by the end of the week...
Have a Great Weekend!
Sunday Update:
Okay...my weatherman is an idiot.
Today is sunny, beautiful and 83 degrees. It's outside to play in the plants, weed, and tidy the garden for Tux and I.
Also...Canada has another positive case of Andes Hantavirus. Still off the cruise ship and within the 8 week window. No secondary spread yet.
