Here are my last couple weeks in a nutshell - trips, novel, and kittens edition!

Goodbye, Carmen
Just over two weeks ago, we had to say goodbye to my angel, Carmen. It happened so quickly, and it's all still raw for me. Carmen got a clean bill of health at her check up in July. Mid-September I found a lump on her, two actually, around nipples. That was a Sunday. Monday I was… Continue reading Goodbye, Carmen
A Cat’s Life
It's hard out here for a cat, especially my babies. In the last month we've moved, DH2U went on a two-week-long business trip, and then I left to attend the wedding. Even before I left, Lemon was really missing her staff member. She was attention starved and sad. While I had an opportunity to have… Continue reading A Cat’s Life
29 Times
Years ago, when I first moved into my condo, Carmen did not readily transition to the new place. She was a bit anxious. Occasionally at night she would sing the song of her people. After having been suckered out of my bed by my previous cat, I learned not to give in. The last thing… Continue reading 29 Times
Staff Modification
A couple of weeks ago I was feeling a bit stuck, and so I asked DH2U for a blog idea. His response involved a cage match between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump. Not at all what I was looking for, but it did evolve into my O Canada post. The other night as we were… Continue reading Staff Modification
Facebook Impressions
With as much time as I now spend on Facebook, it is amazing how my impression of the social media giant has changed over the years. I started on Facebook back in the good old days when an invitation was required to join. (Thank you, Rebecca, for getting me through the door.) I must admit… Continue reading Facebook Impressions
Pet Product Insanity
My favorite types of brain candy posts for this blog are based on random stuff I've seen/remembered that fits into one of two categories: advertisements or pets. This week post contains both! Somehow I fell into a rabbit hole on the internet and ended up on this. Has the inventor this cat grooming bag ever… Continue reading Pet Product Insanity
All in the Angle
There are some people out there that seem to always take good pictures, and then there are the rest of us. As I've shown with my driver's license photo, I'm definitely in the later category. I'm discovering that cats can also fall into one of those two categories. Lemon, being supermodel thin, and having nailed… Continue reading All in the Angle
Carmen’s Birthday
Over the weekend, Carmen had her birthday. She's eight! I split a can of tuna between her and Lemon as a treat. It is something that doesn't aggravate Lemon's condition. Technically it wasn't Carmen's actual birthday. I consider the anniversary of my bringing her home from the pound to be her birthday. Seems as good a… Continue reading Carmen’s Birthday
Trendy Cat
Many people have joined the gluten-free band wagon, deciding that they feel better without most grains in their diet. Good for them if it works! Of this group, there are some that are bringing their pets along for the grain-free ride. It has become trendy. Our cats are on a grain-free diet, too, but for… Continue reading Trendy Cat
