Life gets even busier! (At least in my own little world)

Hi there my faithful few! 🙂 So it’s been a few days since my last post… I took a bit of “me time” and I am doing okay. I still feel sad every so often about Princess the kitty (she had to be named), but other than that I think I’m good. I think… let’s just not push it.

I can’t wait for the end of July, then I will be able to take a break, maybe. Right now I have stress and pressure from every direction possible. I knew that I need to loose weight, but other than that I thought I was in good health. I went to the docs Friday and they did some labs; I was told it would be a week for the results. They called me yesterday after hours saying for me to call them today. Well, I totally forgot to so they called me again around 1pm. My blood sugar was too high (they are going to being a test on that this coming week), my cholesterol was out of whack (and I was put on meds) and there was something else, I just can’t remember what. So as of tonight, I am making a DRASTIC change to my diet, lifestyle, and exercise regimen. I feel like all of this is my fault because I have put my health on the back burner for a longer than I should have. I keep trying to find ways to blame other people/things, but it just isn’t there… it’s me, it’s all me.

On top of that, I’m also in the process of moving (aand I remember something I forgot to get today) while house sitting. So part of the day is spent in one location packing and stuff like that, and the other is spent with the cute sweet pups I’m watching. That in itself is an interesting balancing act. I find myself either being extremely busy, or not having much to do. I am afraid of not getting everything done in time, but I guess that is normal.

Oh, I’m not sure if I mentioned it before, but I’ve learned I’m allergic to mosqiuto bites! (I spelled mosquito correctly, I know I did, I googled it. Why is it underlined in red?!?!) That has been an adventure all it’s own. I learned I swell up, get really red and end up with a bruise around where the bite was. They itch like crazy, and I inevitably scratch them open in my sleep. I think I found something that helps the itching, but I used it once. If it really works, I’ll blog about it.

Hmmm, anything else to add to this jumbled mess of words? I miss my cats. Yes, I am a cat lady, I have had a cat for about as long as I can remember.  I remember driving (I was riding) home with what I think was my first kitten. He was a grey tabby, I can’t recall what I named him. Anyway, I miss having a cat sleeping on or around me. Don’t get me wrong, these pups are sweet as can be, and like to cuddle. They just aren’t cats, and I’m a cat lady. 🙂 I guess this will have to do for tonight. Sorry about there not being a good flow to this. I guess I just needed to get things out. Please feel free to comment. I will gladly accept any ideas, support, health suggestions, anything.

It’s Been A While

So, um, yeah… it’s been a while since I have been on here. I have looked at the bookmarks and the app on my phone, and even thought “I should make a post”. I even have several ideas for posts floating around in my head (maybe I should write those down). Anyway, to the few of you who do follow me, I’m sorry. Life went crazy and I followed shortly behind. I have had several things on my plate recently, like job hunting, getting turned down by a million and one jobs (even though I nailed every interview!), dealing with and starting to pack to move, helping friends pack and move, having friends have surgery and then complications, and getting emotionally bombarded by pets passing away and things like that. (Dude, that was one major run on sentence.) Basically, I have been running on a low tank and not realizing it.

I will just hit a couple of those in this snippet. First off the friends with surgery and such. There is one that is still in the hospital, and thanks to God alone, she is going to the best rehab place that she can! She is leaving to go to it in the morning, so I went for a visit today. I’m glad I did 🙂 She is one awesome woman because in her illness, she GAVE me strength and helped to refresh me! Talk about a great woman! She is so amazing and I can’t wait when she comes back!!

I finish up my visit and I’m driving back to the house. While thinking about what to have for dinner, (Disclaimer: Pet lovers go past this, it’ll make you cry and upset) I see someone throw a kitten out of the car into traffic. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but while driving I see it’s a kitten. I turned around and parked on the side of the road. I noticed that the poor baby was not dead, even though it appeared to be ran over. I couldn’t let it suffer… while traffic was clear I ran into the road and scooped the baby up. I had cardboard in my trunk, so I placed her on that at first (later I put her in a towel. I didn’t know what to do. I had this kitten and did, not, know. So I called my dad (because, what else are you going to do). I decided to take her to the emergency vets. I was about ten minutes away, but got there MUCH faster. She ended up having some REALLY bad injuries, so I had her put, (I’m having trouble writing this part) put to sleep. It was a little girl kitten and she was about 10ish weeks old. She did nothing but get born. People like that make me not very christian… Anyway, I brought her home to be buried.

I think that took a hard hit on me because I recently had some pets pass away. It was all from different things, but dang their timing. I’m still grieving over the most recent pet. I get moments where I’m sad, then I get ok. But it is kind of a lot in a short period of time. I thought I was stressed/burnt out before… man I had no clue what was coming.

I’ll finish this with I know God will not give me more than I can handle, He is always by my side, He is relentless towards me, and above all He IS ABLE.

Chloe

Ok, I know it’s been a bit since my last post, but life got crazy! So here you go, a fun post!

Meet my “baby” Chloe!

She is a four year old Abyssinian mix. I have had her since she was literally two days old. Basically get Mon had her and didn’t think she needed to do anything else.

Chloe has a huge personality… she will let you know when she doesn’t appreciate your singing, can figure out how to open a door and get into almost anything!

She absolutely LOVES heights and riding my shoulder. 🙂

Another thing, she is the most obedient cat! I can call her from anywhere and she will come running. I tell you, there is never a boring moment with her.
