Stuffs Gitten Done. some Ain't.

 Door has been up 24 or so hours.  There is a somewhat minor problem.  The man will be over very soon and Mom'll show him.  I think the left side facing so to speak may need replacing.   

Happy Canada Day to all my dear Canadian friends and Cats.  Hugs to each of you, furred and not, and  Mom and I so glad to have you as friends.  Canada Cats are THE finest in the Northern Hemisphere.  Right?  Right. 

Very hot here.  Mom has been up and down for 2 1/2 hrs watering the roses.  They were looking sad again but Mom caught them in time it seems.  She looked up what curled edged rose petals meant!  Shiver our timbers...wasn't good.  We don't care of it's not Talk Like a Pirate Day.  We love doing that. We are working on it though...lotsa watering and they look far happier today. 

I'm not hiding..I am in plain view but...I am sleeping the day away except for food.  I am old.  Mom and I both don't want to face it.  It's a struggle getting me to eat but I am eating some.  Mom follows me everywhere and will open whatever it takes to get me to eat.  I am still tucking my little precious headie into her neck at night.  Or sleeping on her ankle bones when I leave her Northern sector.  Or at her waist. I love my mommy.  With all my Katie heart. Mom is always concerned, but getting more so.  She won't do the appetite med.  It made me horrifically ill the day and I half I had it last November.  Mom promised me she would never ever make me take that.  My respirations were in the high 90's while taking it and I could not rest or be still. 

Mom doesn't want a downer here.  We will keep you advised.  

XXOO

Holy Moley Cat Woman!!!!!

 It's about to happen.  Mom spent yesterday and this morning telling me NOT to be in the way, NOT to escape, NOT to meow overly much, and to be a good girl AND to use my own litterbox regardless of the hubbub and not the floor.  PLUS my client will be here again.  He's 11, so he has ceased eating MY food, messing in MY box and playing with MY toys!  Now.  Not just my client- but the feller who is installing the door today.  At 10am.  But you know how time goes when it comes to workmen coming in.   Want to see it?  Or did I already show you? 

It will be painted brown as is the old door inside and out.  He may or may not paint today. My client will be here with his Mom probably within half an hour.  The workman, the same, if I am lucky.  Me, I will probably stick a wrench into the works with everyone trying to keep me from making a tour of the great sunny outdoors.  Mom may have to move my litterbox into the hallway 

Oh, Mom made a big to-do about the temp in the house with the new HVAC.  Hate to tell her, but when it is running is no lower than 72 degrees in here and can rise to 75 before it starts cooling again.  So it's HER, not the unit.  Poor thing.  She must be getting used to it.  I no longer see the pretty blue- violet flannel shirt on her.  And the nighties in bed at night have lightened up. Sheesh! 

Mom's faintly duded up.  She was on her way to make a quick trip to the C.U. when she got a text that my Client was coming over.  Mom wanted to get the C..U. over with before the worker guy came, but with the text about the Client too, she came back in.  (Mom is impressed with the worker guy's musculature!) 

I'll just run along and try to make mom nervous about what I will do with the front door open (and gone for a space of time)

In the Middle of the Night! Typo creations. Sigh.

 Kitties!  I came howling down the hall in the deep dark nite nite time last night and did a super job of waking mom.  I was loud..I was persistent, and again, I was loud.  Mom gave up and called me.  I kept right on with exceedingly loud honking and snorting in the dark.  Mom kept calling me.  I came into the bedroom, still darker than a cup of coffee if I drank that stuff (she does!!) and finally shut up.  Mom said "come 'mere".  I jumped up and walked to her head.  I snuggled into her neck and shoulder.  This morning, she saw it was DUCKY who came in!   I sure announced him spectacularly!  I haven't bought Ducky in years!!  All my main toys are in the living room waiting for me.  I never bring any from my own room aka the computer room.  Wow.  That sure got her lively there for a little while.  

Mom said the new front door will be here Saturday a.m. It won't be installed till Monday.  In a little house like this, it's to be leaning against the wall somewhere in the house till installation day and that  is going to be awful.

Mom said she has some no-fun-at-all appointments through the week.  Just two of those.  But a welcome visitor for several hours tomorrow.  I think I'm cold.  I know Mom is.  The thermostat for the new unit is set at 74 but mom is wearing a flannel nightgown, but just under a percale sheet..no blankie.  And a flannel shirt sometimes in the day time.  Never been that way.  Think the old dead HVAC must have been blowing overly warm air when A/C was required and overly cool warm air in the winter. Mom had to keep messing with the thermostat.  A new indoor thermometer is coming over night so we will see what the temp really is in here! She said getting out of the shower each day is like going into polar air.  Tiny bathroom and boy!  The  cold air blowing on a wet person is not fun. I guess I'd rather this than that horrible three days and nights of heat and humidity in the house that we endured a few weeks ago. 

If Katie had a grandma this would be her! 

I'll be seeing you over at your place after awhile.  I get to be on mom's lap regardless of her circumstances starting at 5pm.  I don't even feel sorry for her.  It's all about me.

The Mystery is Solved! I think

 

Donkey Needs Help!!!

 Kitties!  I don't know how this Anaconda got in...HELP!!  Mom went to get the broom so she can hit him with the stick!  But will it be too late?  That's my DONKEY!!!  He almost has Donkey and his tongue is reaching out to assess his tenderness.  HELP! Maybe she oughtta get something more lethal.  HURRY Mom!  OH NO!  Mom slipped on a banana peel...I will swoop in and save Donkey myself.  I can DO IT!  I learned tactical skills from mom  and I am approaching from the Anaconda's back section...I'll leap over him and snatch my Donkey away!  Hold my Temptations! 

Brovver Gone

 Kitties!!!  Brovver went back home this morning  He lives in Charlotte NC.  We enjoyed every moment.  Now it was hotter than you-know-where from early Saturday afternoon last week till midday almost Tuesday this week.  We really suffered some heat here in the house.   It got up to 86 and very humid in the house. I didn't sleep with mom as the big box fan which hardly did any good was too loud and Brovver had one on his room too...same thing,  They hauled them into the living room when they each got up and I still had to deal with all that noise!!  I was hot too.  Those three days and nights were awful.  BUT because there was no reason to do a lot of things besides installing the new one...it all got done so quickly!!! About 2 hours.  Took up old one- put in new.  

WHEW!  Now Mom is cleaning house.  Guess I should let her up from the computer.  She has work to do.  Next is swabbing out the entire bathroom, and  then, vacuuming, and swabbing out the KITCHEN too. 

If you want to help, come on over and get her started in the kitchen by sweeping before she mops.
