This week has been a roller coaster of emotions, whirlwind of things to do, and all around stressful. With Mama being in the hospital, we've worried about Boy, the 27 1/2-pound anti-social cat. Boy can't be boarded after his last event with the vet's office. In fact, I'm sure they hate to see him coming …
Cats O’Plenty
Mama is feeling so much better than last night. I can tell because her breathing is not like Puff the Magic Dragon on crack. Last night, it was pretty messed up. But I can also tell because she is telling everyone that comes in the room stories and tall tales of days gone by. Thanks …
Fragility
I’m sitting in a hospital room listening to the whizzing noise of a bi-pap machine. The room smells clean and sterile, and the air is cool. I hear voices in the hallway and carts rolling by with nurses hurrying to take care of their patients. The seconds on the clock tick slowly by and the …
The Air We Breathe
I don’t think about breathing. It’s just something that I do. Because air is invisible, I just assume it will always be there. But what about when it’s not? Mama is having a heart procedure today because her heart has decided to jump out of rhythm. They’ve got to shock it back in regular sinus …

It didn’t stop me from tossing and turning in hopes that I could find the rest I so desperately sought. At times, I would find myself walking through the house simply hoping to have some …
Hot Garbage
I preface this post with this…I know that it can be worse and I know many were not as fortunate as I. But I feel like hot garbage. The kind that’s been rummaged through by rabid raccoons on a hot August day. For the second time in this pandemic, I have COVID. The first round …
Walmart Sacks and Thunderstorms
Tonight there have been severe storms with heavy rain passing through our area. Lightning has been flashing and thunder crashing. It’s been a long, hectic day. Mama had a health scare and I brought her to my house to keep an eye on her. When we left her house in such a hurry, I threw …
