Boy, do I ever know that look! Reminds me of my mother, and now my little sister, when someone is in trouble!
I've been having computer problems, so haven't been posting much lately. I finally bit the buttlet yesterday and had it repaired. Didn't want to spend the $$, but it was cheaper than buying a new laptop (and I can't function work-wise and friendship-wise without one).
Hope Froggy & Phooey have good days today. I think I remember Phooey saying he was on some new meds and would be quiet a while until his body adjusts to them.
OTOH, Surfie, biting a buttlet sounds more fun than biting a bullet :)
We're getting warnings of a Santa Ana event not seen in 20 years. Not sure what that means, but I'm heading out to stock up on moisturizer. It's so dry out that I've been scratching in my sleep. At least I think that's what those red marks on my arm are. Maybe it's Puffin.
Eva, go to the Ananda Apothecary and get you some essential oils--they have catnip oil, too! People don't think of Seattle as dry, but with our heating system and my wonderful age, my skin was flaking away all over my body--it's a menace! I have to be very careful of my feet because I'm diabetic and NOTHING would help. I was so afraid they'd get dry and crack and get infected and then cut off--jeez! A little spruce oil is the only thing that's helped.
Surfie--what's a 'buttlet'? HAHHAHAHAHA--good cxcatch, Eva! snert...
Yowz, my blood sugar just slipped below the horizon. Thank God 'Woggy got me some Boost.... had to dump some Ovaltine in that sucker....
P.S. We had a Daddy Munk cat about like this big boy. He was laid out on his back one night and 'Woggy bent down for a tickle and said 'my God, you're all fat and feet'! HAHAHAHA! It was true! We lost him in '92 when I graduated. Took a trip around America that summer to thank the Wog for helping me through school with the little dab of money mom left me, and that fall we got the twins: Boris and ZebraBear(Zee). We already had Tornado ('Nado) and she was such a good play mommy for them... cat memories! I jealous of you, Hooly, JEALOUS! I WANT A PUTTY TAT!
Don't be jealous just yet. We are definitely counting down till Saturday. I have been going around looking for danglies and tip overs that might interest a cat. The challenge is finding a place for a litter box. I have been meaning to take a load to the Goodwill so today is the day for that.
Eva, I don't miss Santa Ana winds the least bit. Last major one I lived through was a few months after hubby passed on. Blew my fence onto the neighbor's brand new Audi, then the high pressure moved on and it got freezing cold (of course the power was out for 2 days).
The thing that bugs me most about Santa Ana winds is the idiots who start fires. I've evacuated 2 times from those things.
Be safe, Eva. Given where you live, you probably won't have a fire evacuation, but you might be without power. Being a SoCal girl, you know what to do!
I'll keep you and all my SoCal friends in my prayers. DRINK LOTS OF WATER. More important than lotion!
You're right, Surfie. People who have never experienced a Santa Ana event of any kind don't get how awful they are. Some scoff at the "evil" description, but not me. There is definite evil. You can feel it, hear it, and sense it.
It finally dawned on me that my vertigo yesterday stemmed from the blasts of hot, dry air. I've been chugging water by the bottle today. I'm about to float away! Maybe I'll take a bath in lotion WHILE I drink water :) Then I can put on some of those oils that Froggy is talking about. (Froggy, if I put catnip oil on, won't the boys attack me?)
You and Phooey better take care of yourselves!
Gloria, we went from a one litter box house to (now) a 4 litter box house... and we still have the same number of cats (3). It's because of their age, of course. I wish Puffin and Bambu wouldn't use Boomer's box, though. It's the only one he can get to and they have the run of the house.
Um...Eva... save the catnip oil for the boy's toys and GET SOMETHING PRETTY FOR YOURSELF! Sheesh! And you have 4 catboxes??? We only had one for our 3 cats and we had to clean it all the time because, if it had anything in it by afternoon, Boris would just go along side the box...!!!!!
Hey, be careful drinking all that water--if you deplete the sodium concentration in your brain too much, you could have a seizure--or worse.
I'm finally feeling that new medicine subside, so I'm feeling better. Jeez, 'Woggy's not home yet!
Boy, do I ever know that look! Reminds me of my mother, and now my little sister, when someone is in trouble!

Er ... I bit the bullet, not the buttlet :)

A Santa Ana wind not seen in 20 years? People who have never been through it don't know how dry it can be. I feel bad for you, Eva.

ReplyDeleteDammit, Phooey--you can get up long enough to tell us you're okay! I know you have to get up to... We miss you!

Well here I am, and no one to talk to. Kitty says to "stay furry." But aren't we all frog-people? So are we "furry frogs"?
ReplyDeleteSurfie.. I think buttlet sounds fascinating. It's my new favorite word.
Eva.. I remember Santa Ana winds and heat, and the fires that cause so much smoke that you can't see the sun.
The Phoo is due or frogs will be blue. We need a Phoo-poem contest.
Froggy's happy I'm home. I'm happy I'm home. It started raining while I was waiting for the bus. That's the life in Seattle.
I can't do...
