dancerjodi-A good ballet class. Peggy Anne mentioned in the back room that I'm better than I give myself credit and I just have to let go and let it out sometimes. We talked of the holiday, and how its still odd for them without her Mom (particularly on their Dad), and how this was our first year without Gram.
-Finishing up the kitchen (mostly) and having friends over. Their company is always lovely and seeing "Ringers" was a lot of fun!
-Sleeping late today.
-Having hubby make us breakfast (apple cinnamon sausage and egg nog french toast w/ coffee) while I took care of the litter box problem*.
-Listening to Voltaire while I make pizzelles (first of the season) and Brian works on Red beans w/ the various southern meats, veggies and seasonings (to go with rice) to simmer in the crock pot during the day.
-Catching up on e-mail, lounging with the Sunday paper before showering, errands and a pot luck dinner with a neighbor (and her ladies monthly pot luck group - hence the pizelles; its an Italian theme).
Ah, so nice! A year ago I was finishing up my Thesis and internship paper. I can't believe I've been out of school for about a year now. The free time never gets old!
*Max's age (20) is getting to him. Our poor old kitty is having a new set of litter box issues. We can only guess that he's having difficulty getting into it or something, so he keeps standing in but peeing *outside* of the box. We've tried various things, different boxes, different placements. I broke down and bought one of those large plastic mats that you'd put under an office chair to make is slide better so that the oversplash wouldn't get on our wood floor. We're going to try a smaller, shallower box, change it daily, and see what happens. Poor kitty. :/ Its tough seeing them get old, but considering his age, general health for his age, and add in that he's been diabetic for almost 4 years, he's doing damn well! Here's hoping this experiment works for him. I've said before that an insulin infusion pump for cats would be a godsend. I think Depends would be too at this point. Its not that he's losing control or not making it to the box - he's just having issues getting in/standing in it . . .
