Counting Your Blessings...

Let's all remember to count our blessings, as there are many. Sometimes when things look bleak, there's a blessing to be found.

My cat, Oliver (age 8), has so many UTI infections, that he is afraid of the litter box. He has been using our formal living carpet as his box...ugh. A friend sent me some information on a new study and I took it to my vet. We decided to try the therapy suggested.

I've also prayed about this. He's my LOVE, the cat who most enjoys snuggling, who loves me unconditionally, who is always by my side. I want us to be together in a normal and sanitary environment, lol!!!

For the past two days, he's been using the litter box!!!!! My prayers have been answered! Once again, I've been blessed.

My Little Volkswagen Beetle's *eyes* are sick!!!

LOL. it's my bugs headlights. This car is two years and two months old.....today I am having the THIRD HEADLIGHT replaced on the right side. The headlight on the drivers side is also beginning to fade...so that will need to be replaced soon as well, headlight #3 coming up!!!!!!!!

REALLY VW????? I think there is an issue here!!!!!!!! I love my little gecko green beetle, I wanted a beetle since I was a little girl. Six of us went on a road trip (yep in a beetle), before seatbelts were mandatory, of course. What fun that was!!!!

If I could get the eye issue worked out for my little guy, I'd be soooo happy!

Adoption Stories....a Beginning

I LOVE Adoption Stories, it's such a warm show...I end up feeling to warm and fuzzy! This mornings episode was about a Gay Man and his Partner.......adopting a little boy. I'm so happy that this little boy has a loving family AND happy that Gay Partnership has been recognized as a FAMILY UNIT. Every child deserves the love and support of a family, that doesn't necessarily mean Traditional.....as long as the child is loved and cared for....it's a Good Thing!

It's a beautiful day....

In the Neighborhood! Yes it's true......we have SUNSHINE!! Someone should bottle this stuff as a happy drug.....wait they do., it's called Zoloft, lol!

When you live in Cleveland, you learn to *Suck it Up*....I'm through Sucking It Up! I WANT Spring!!!!! Maybe if I scream loud enough....someone will hear me??????

~~~~On a happy/sad note~~~~~If anyone has been following the trial of our local doctor, YAZEED ESSA, he has been accused to poisoning his beautiful wife, Rosie, with cyanide. He skipped to Cyprus, and was extradited back to the US. He has been found GUILTY by a Jury of his Peers. Sadly, this will not bring Rosie back, nor will it give his two beautiful children a set of parents. Court TV has been filming the trial, so stay tuned. ~~~~

Sigh....My Dad is Ill...

Dear Old Dad has bladder cancer....the news didn't take me totally by surprise...I knew he had an issue, but I was hoping it was an infection...it was...sort of...is cancer sort of an infection? All I know is that the word CANCER is scary. It's an ugly word and an uglier disease. He's shook up, of course. I have confidence that he will be fine. There will be a bit of a fight though and I hope he can hang tough. He's a bit of a *baby*, not tough like my Mom. By *baby* I mean, he absolutely cannot handle pain or distress. Mom, however, wears her pain like a suit of armor. Is this a man thing, lol??? Dad will be 75, he's been in fairly good health, double by-pass many years ago and other issues that come with being almost 75.

Sigh....I will know more on March 16th...wish him luck!!!
