I'm sorry Sally. I had a friend with this and all I can tell you is don't let them see you down when you're around them. They need all the positivity you can muster around them.

Why don't you move her closer to you? Not an option?

No. Can't move closer. My husband's business is client based--we'd have to largely start over if we relocated.

Sally, I'm soooo sorry. I have a frined who is dyiing of Lou Gehrig's disease right now. It's awful. I hope that's not what's happening with your mom.

My 20 y/o cat died today. I've posted elsewhere that I kind of saw it coming but yeah, she's gone. I wish I could have been there but my kids were really good...they were petting and brushing her while she died. And she died pretty quickly and at home. But both my kids were crying when I talked to them tonight. I wish I was home to hug them and I wish I could have given my cat a final bit of love (I did before I left but I wish I'd been with her at the end). My husband took the kids up to some open space around our house and they gave her a little burial.

Fuck. She looked exactly like this... My all-black cat. RIP Miha.

I'm sorry about your cat. Going peacefully like that is the best way though and she lived a good long life.

About your mom - I meant move HER closer to YOU. I think you thought I said move yourselves closer to her.

Sad news in the forum today....sigh.

Thanks T.K.


Duh, I should have realized what you meant. She's bound and determined to get better--at this point, she wouldn't consider leaving her house. Stubborn doesn't even begin to describe her. I can only hope she heals well/gets back to 100%.

Just so you all don't miss me on Friday!
I'm will be leaving in the morning for Greensboro, NC I'm heading up there to see a crochet designer. He is doing a book signing and we get to crochet with him!!

It is going to be a fun day!!! I'm so looking forward to meeting him. His patters are really cool and fun to make.

So have a good Friday!!!!!!!
See you over the weekend!!!!!!

Have fun Kim!

I love going to book signings. Sadly there are not that many around here but the few I've been to I've had some fun!

Sometimes I wish I could chase the demons out of my head and sleep like my kit-tays do.
Kit-tays = inside joke only me and my cats are in on.

What lovely girls. They look so content. Are they sisters?

I have a raging fucking headache thanks to my ex-hole.
Fucker.
