Ok!
So a lot has changed since the last time I "Blogged". Or did the journal thing.
I've been grinding on starting back at it for a while. I worried about security for a while, feeling it would be safer to use the old fashioned paper and pen but I know me, and typing is far more therapeutic for me, and I can type a lot faster than I can write. And to add one more positive benifit of typing.... THE DELETE button! Ha! And spell check!
Yeah! I mentioned that a lot has changed since I last wrote. YUP. Lots has.
Lets not get into it all. Just understand.......life is different. I've grown. I'm single. I'm a grandmother. I'm alone. My parents have passed away, and I have no blood family other than my daughters. And grand children. Oh my! Yes! Grandbabies! I have 3 now.
I came home from working out of town last night to find the cat that had gone missing a month ago had returned! You could imagine my relief! I was never so glad to see that cat than I was last night.
I stood on the porch in the dark and called for her. Visions of her dead decaying body laying someplace made me feel hopeless for her safe return. Visions of her starving in someone's livetrap also entered my mind. Or maybe she was safe in someone's home. I thought that so much time had gone by since she was last seen that there was no hope for her to come home. Sad, I kinda gave up after calling her in the dark and not hearing the bell on her collar. I shut the light off behind me and went inside.
I didn't unpack the jeep when I got home because I was very very tired. But I realized I had stuffed my pillow in my suitcase and I needed it so I went back out on the deck and GUESS who was there!!
YES! My sweet Penny! I was in shock! She was acting skiddish and timid so I sat right down on the floor of the deck and let her come to me. I scooped her up and stuffed her in the house while I got my suit case from the garage. I could not believe she finally decided to come home!!! And I'm so glad she is not hurt, or dead. She's thin. But she is O K A Y!
Christ..... This means I actually LIKE this cat. OK....for now.
All of the cats were pretty restless last night. There was some hissing but no fights broke out. So that's good. I put plenty of food down for everyone. I'm sure Penny is glad to have some food available that she doesn't have to work for.
I'm so glad she is home. And I'll be glad to go get the dogs today too.
I have so much to do in the short time that I have off that it's almost very overwhelming.
Combining and organizing two established households has been quite a pain in the ass.
Then there is all of Beth's stuff that I would like gone from the house, if she is not going to live here so I can get everything the way I want it. So much to do!
Well, I think this is a good start to this blog again.
I just need to figure out how to do the mobile version now because I can see myself posting more often from my mobile devices than actually sitting at the computer.
