Pictures of Sadie

It's Saturday!  I love Saturdays.

I have some pictures to show you.  I am not the best photographer in the world, but the subject is the cutest thing you will ever see!

Here is Sadie in her Santa hat:

Catching up

       I have put off writing an entry because I can't get what
      is in my head to come out on the keyboard.  I can think it
      but my fingers just can't key it for some reason.  Ever have
      that problem?

      Dallas (my 19 year old cat) has made such a recovery I can
      hardly believe that I thought I was going to lose her just a
      few short weeks ago.  So glad that I gave the meds a chance
      to work.  And Sadie is pretty happy to have Dallas feeling
      better also.

      My aunt.....she is slowly getting worse.  The other day she
      was walking down the hallway asking for help.  When asked
      what she needed she didn't know.  I don't know how dementia
      goes, but Aunt E is getting worse I believe.  She seems 
      happy enough where she is now.  She doesn't ask to leave or
      anything.  They seem to be treating her ok.  We go visit at
      different times on different days (and usually twice a week
      if not more) so if they were doing something I think we would
      catch on to it.

      Yesterday I went to visit my Aunt Betty.  She lives about an
      hour away.  Se knew I couldn't get there till about lunchtime
     so she made my favorite ---- fried sweet potatoes.  Yummy.
     She made enough for me to bring home.  So good I have been
     eatting them cold right out of the fridge.

      When I go to visit Aunt Betty I have to go on this bridge
      over a river.  Bridges over bodies of water are like a phobia
      to me.  I hold my breathwhile crossing.  This particular
      river is always brown and muddy looking which for some
      reason makes it worse.  Wonder why it stays muddy looking?

      As you know my pastor left us for another church.  Some of
      my Sunday school class is going tomorrow to hear him
      preach at his new church.  I have been wanting to go.  But
      I am not going to be able and it just makes me so mad.  Why
      can't I go?  My anxiety problem is kicking into high gear.  I
     knew it would show it's ugly head but I didn't know that
      it would be this bad.  There is no way I would be able to
      go tomorrow.  Sometimes life just stinks, ya know?

      Saw my doctor this week.  He is so proud of me.  I showed
      him the chart I got from Curves showing my progress and
      he was really impressed.  Doc says he has other patients
      that goes to Curves and that he recommends it.  My 
      blood pressure was way down and he said if I keep it up
      in another few months he may be able to cut back on
      my blood pressure meds!  Yeah!!

      Sadie is sitting her on my desk falling asleep.  She is soooo
      cute.

      Here is a neat graphic for you.  Be patient for it to load it
      is really funny.

      


     

Stuart wants our help

I got this in an email from Stuart this morning:

Alerts   please pass this on to everyone you know in journal land and get them to leave a comment and a link to their Journal.   It is important  

As this is important to him so please hop over to his place read his entry and leave a comment.  

Thanks everyone,   Kathy

 

I'm back. I think.

Hello everyone.  Sorry that I haven't updated in awhile.  
                                                                        

What has been going on?  Where to start?  Ok, I told you that I joined a place called Curves in order to lose some weight.  I weighted/measured for the 1st time to find that I had gained a pound!  However it must be muscle and not fat because I have lost 1.5 inches in my waist!  A total of 2.25 inhes overall.  Not too bad.  I need to do better.  I go back to the doctor this coming Friday.  Have to see what he has to say.

The home that I have my Aunt placed in has been on my back to move her.  I really didn't want to move her, and finding a good place for her was starting to become impossible.  Then the home goes and does what I think is just wrong.  The doctor there changed her status from needing a nursing home to needing a assisted living place.  That means that Medicaid won't pay for her to continue to stay there.  We HAVE to move her and the sooner the better.
We found another place that is closer to where we live (only about 5 miles or so away), the other place was on the total other side of town.  Things are in motion and hopefully my Aunt will be moved tomorrow.  I have to go to both homes, get transportation for my aunt, do tons of paperwork.  I really dread it.  I also worry about how the move will effect my aunt.  I have been told that it can make her mental state worse.

The doctor has been messing with my meds and I have the mood swings to show for it.



Ok, the graphics don't have anything to do with today's entry.  But I like them so I thought I would through them in.

The graphics group is going slowly.  I don't know, maybe I didn't explain the reason for the group or I expected too much.  The group is to SHARE graphics, NOT learn how to make them.  I was hoping everyone in the group would do a send once a week or so.  Most seem to be sitting back and waiting for everyone else to share I guess (I know some are really busy with real life and other things.  I am NOT poking my fingers at anyone.  I am just saying what I am feeling.  I will try to do more sends so maybe more will get into the sharing feeling.

                  

My oldest niece (that lost custody of her little boy) is being evicted and is losing her little girl now.  I would have thought she or her live-in boyfriend would have gotten their act together so this wouldn't be happening.

My middle niece just left her husband.  She let him have their daughter for a visit and now hubby won't give her back. She's going to have to get a lawyer.

That's it for now.  I'll try to update more laters.
