TOTALLY GEEKED!

I’m so very sorry fwm🌹. Shop cat is at peace and no longer suffering, you and Wayne gave her a loving and safe home and a very happy life

Shop Cat, No!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP. Give Wayne a big hug. She was lucky to have you two as her family.

It's freezing here. I just got back from a walk and the wind is really fierce.

Thanks for the good thoughts, everyone. We dropped Shop Cat off to be cremated. We'll get her ashes back in a few days.

She will be missed.

Maria's check up was fine.

Jack, on the other hand, has lost 6 pounds. And after running tests, we found out he's diabetic.

So, Mere and I learned how to give him insulin shots today. And, we learned how to use a glucose meter. And, we have some Rx food for him.

He should be fine, with proper care and feeding.

We'll do our best!

That's all we can do. 

(Can you believe our luck? Oh well. At least Jack's condition can be treated. I'm happy about that.)

The smartest thing Shop
Cat ever did was when she
adopted Wayne and you as
her fur-parents. I'm relieved
that Wayne didn't have to
make that heart-wrenching
decision.

Hugs to all of you.

 Thank you, Momala.

Shop Cat lived a long, and interesting life.

And, she enjoyed her retirement, once Wayne brought her home.

I'm so glad, she took matters into her own hands. And spared Wayne that decision. It would have hurt, even worse.

Now, we can focus on Jack Daniels. And getting him healthy again.

I think, that's a good thing. Jack can bounce back, and live many more years. Diabetes, can be managed.

That will be our focus, now.

Snowed yesterday and of course our downstairs heater broke, repairman is coming tomorrow and hopefully he can fix it right away, had to go to my sons house to babysit, way to cold to keep then here. 🥶

People said the same thing about Carlee and the extent we went to to treat her seizures. But we do what we have to to take care of our fur babies.

I need to take a minute to brag on myself. I know not everyone cares and not everyone will read this and that's okay. I have conquered so much in the year that I have been separated. When ex DH left me DF offered to marry me right away so I wouldn't have to deal with all the stuff I had to deal with. As scary as it was I said no. I wanted to do things the right way. I wanted to take the time to heal and learn to be independent. So he offered to pay my rent so again, I didn't have to bear the full brunt of it. Again, I told him no. It was important to me to be able to do it on my own. My divorce was recently final and with it went all our joint things like health insurance and a few other things. I'm truly on my own now and I'm so proud that I'm doing it on my own. I am so glad I waited to get married again. I think this is an important step for me. Even though I'm looking forward to marrying my best friend I know good things come to those who wait. Ex DH and I remain friendly. I'm really proud and happy for me right now!

I was just told I can get vaccinated if I want. Uh, no that's okay.

 Same here. I might get the shot in 5 or 10 years or not.

I saw a new dr today.  He said with my history he was fine with my decision either way I chose.  That made me like him even more.

Interesting enough, he said that some crazy high percentage of adults that had chicken pox as a child would get shingles and that shingles could cause more serious problems than COVID.  He highly recommended the shingles shot.  Who knew?

I'm going to be forced to take the vaccine.

I wasn’t required to take it. I chose to. I’m fine.

A couple of my coworkers opted to get the vaccine. It's their first round and they said they had severe chills and felt like crap the second night after receiving it.
