She has her moments but as for moving she's barely able to help so I'm stuck doing the vast majority myself. This last trip up to the house she stayed in Roswell, nothing she could have done in ABQ other than be in the way.Moving is so stressful. How's the wife holding up?The flooring is about 2/3ds done..... kinda, sorta, still two bedrooms to do and a bunch of finish pieces to cut in then the baseboard gets installed. The two guys that helped did a pretty decent job and will be back to finish up maybe Thursday, definitely Saturday. I'm back in Roswell, so exhausted I took a two hour nap in my own bed, only got up because the wife woke me, worried about tornado and hail warnings in the Roswell area, we saw neither.
Will pick up another 5' X 8' trailer tomorrow and I will move her and the kids up to Albuquerque Wednesday.
Hopefully the relocation will help Mrs R with her ongoing treatment. The furkids will no doubt be happier when you are home with them every day.She has her moments but as for moving she's barely able to help so I'm stuck doing the vast majority myself.

The "kids" missed me (she did too), Jasper would run around the house "crying", both he and Giz would look for me and both slept on my side of the bed. Giz in particular wanted my undivided attention when I got home which is not normal for him so yeah, they missed me.
The lilacs and honeysuckle are in bloom pumping sweet perfume into the air. It's the final sign that summer is here. Fireflies (or lightening bugs as we call them here) are beginning to shimmer on the lawns and the airspace just amyard above. It's dusk at 9:00 while the same last gloaming happens at 5:00 in December. School's out, bicycles are oiled up and the kids are looking forward to the opening of swimming pools.
The Sprimg floods are sweeping the fallen trees from the ravines and soon boaters will benplying the river. My beloved Pittsburgh Pirates are playing under .500 so it seems like a typical summer. The cicadas, awake after their 17 year slumber, are rattling their bodies with a deafening din while graduation parties are on every block.
Is summer the best season? Perhaps. But the charms of autumn, the barren White of winter and the delight of new blooms of spring all take a profound hold on all of us here at 40 degrees north latitude.
I hate the heat, so summer isn't my favorite season.
I'm not a Chick-fil-a fan either, enough salt in one sandwich to kill a whole colony of slugs.........I am one of probably five people that doesn't really like their sandwiches
I am surprised there are that many... But like they say, to each his own... I was unaware of the tradition... Thanks FoxFyre...
I'll let you know how it works out. I have 7 weeks before this happens, provided everything goes smoothly. I'm pretty nervous, you might be able to tell that.Hombre is facing a full hip replacement and has been putting it off. His pain levels are far below what GW has been describing though but then he isn't as active as GW so can rest the hip more too. But usually it is the intractable pain that convinces somebody to go ahead and have the surgery.
Most likely. Less than 0.03% (1:3000) calico cats are male and when males are calico, they are sterile. Orange tabbies are most likely male, but the incidence of female orange tabbies is higher that male calicos.
Female, just saying...

I prefer spring and fall when we can have the windows open and don't need the furnace and don't need the air conditioner. We are now into our hottest part of the summer usually but still haven't needed to turn on the air conditioner. But that can't last for much longer.
That's way too hot for me. I'll bet you have killer humidity there, too.The lilacs and honeysuckle are in bloom pumping sweet perfume into the air. It's the final sign that summer is here.

We're in the mid to high 80s during the day here, which is more than hot enough for me to use A/C.

I was in Phoenix a few years ago in August for some training. The thermostat in the hotel wouldn't let you dial it down lower than 80. Outside was broiling hot, the sunlight blinding, and they wouldn't let you get your room to a decent 60!

Sigh. How much more can my heart take?
She had two stillborn kittens. There is one still inside, not fully formed. I took her to the vet today (she had the kittens yesterday). While ultra sounds were being done and tests run....the doc said she was concerned about ALL her kittens being dead before even being born...leukemia, she thought. So she did the test for that and...yes. She has feline leukemia. I was to take her in Friday at 8am for the surgery to remover that kitten still in her, spay her at the same time. But now? Vet doc said leukemia is 85% of cat deaths and its a horrible devastating disease and she MIGHT live 6 months to a year. Maybe. But eventually she will still die sooner rather than later and not pleasantly. So...here I had the nicest, sweetest kitty and now I have to do AGAIN what I did to Karma, Gracie, Mokie, Pretties, Charlie, FatCat. Love a furkid..only to kill them so they don't suffer.
Yes, I could keep her alive but for whom? Her...or me? Let her suffer with whatever organ the leukemia settles in or moves around on, find the funds to treat her to keep her alive.....or let her go now?
On Friday, I still plan to take her in but to get yet another blood test to MAKE SURE, then talk to the vet again and get her opinion, then decide what to do.
This sucks. Can I not have ONE THING to love me that won't die on me and leave me to be alone?

How have you been lately, Peach? Mr. Peach still tooling around on his "bike"?Arrgghh! This cat is driving me nuts! I know she's loving on me but she's overflowing onto my keyboard. I have to keep going back and correcting the mess she's helping me make. And I feel like a total heel when I have to push her away. She's old, infirm, and really emotionally needy. Poor thing!
They all get that way towards the end gallantwarrior, I'm sorry to say.
Give the love she's looking for and needs right now.

Cool! "Les Miserables" is playing on PBS so I can listen while I work. Amazing how many of the songs I know. I've seen it on stage twice and I have the Russel Crow version on DVD. I particularly like when Eponine, Cosette, and Marius sing "A Heart Full of Love".
