August. Part 1.

1.) God’s teasing me. One step forward. 3 steps back. Or maybe it wasn’t a step forward. Maybe it was just a glimpse of the future. It was exciting…and now reality is back.
Readers don’t know what I’m talking about…obviously. More words on this story later.

2.) Rousey was relocated to the spare bedroom [thank goodness].

3.) Tomorrow I find out my delayed allergies [if any]. I’m actually stoked. I wonder if sugar is one. I know I have issues with caffeine [my heart is not a fan, but my taste buds are…and they usually win], and I haven’t had sugar in quite some time…until lately – sugar cane – the real stuff. Anyways, my stomach hasn’t been happy…I think that’ll win out over my taste buds. One would think heart issues would win over taste buds but heart palpitations aren’t painful…just weird…if that’s what the odd thumping even is.

4.) This is Chloe.

She’s my parents’ dog. We kept her since she was born right before my 18th birthday. She’s 8 now…and already blind. The poor dear. I just love her pitiful self. It’s hard watching dogs feel bad…esp when you grew up with them. Lilo, her mother, is pretty much deaf. I blame grain and GMOs ;-).

5.) The husband wants to build a shed…and a bar for the garage. That makes me smile. We’ll be quite a team. I have a few of my own projects in mind. I’m happy to have someone to tackle my building to do list with me. It was growing…and I was getting overwhelmed. The shed and bar were on the list already…but the shed has to come first…which pushed everything off bc, really, who wants to dive into a DIY shed project by themselves?

SO. To sum up: healthier life ahead, the cat can’t wake me up at 4am anymore, old animals are depressing, and Mr. & Mrs. Crider are to become Mr. & Mrs. Handy [stop. this blog is rated PG].

That’s all.
OK. Bye.

Meet Rousey

I’m not a cat person. I do, however, have a big heart….which hurts my wallet.

Rousey wondered into the shop at my workplace. The guys saved her. My husband and I adopted her. She’s about 3 months old.

Our 3 dogs tolerate her stealing some of our attention. They’ll come around.

Since she’s been at the house she has learned she is not allowed on the counter tops. Jumping up there is especially tempting for her when I am making her food. She now waits patiently at the bar. 🙂

….dogs are still better than cats. 😉
