Joe Schmoe got to come home from the vet. I am over joyed and still in shock. He wasn’t bad enough to be euthanized, the vet said. He has a bad skin condition and he’s very over weight. He’s old as dirt but otherwise HEALTHY and doesn’t need to be…

Continued Improvement.
Joe is still very clingy and needs a lot of reassurance. He’s got some issues but nothing like before where death seemed imminent. Back when death looked imminent and he was laying under the bed with his little head out I said, “Michael Joseph, If I did anything to contribute…
Joe update
Joe Schmoe update. I stopped giving him this several days ago. Not going to say it was this, just saying I stopped giving it to him. I WANT to say he looks better. He’s out from under the bed more.He’s slow in the morning. He didn’t recognize me at one…
Chatter – Rip The Heart Out
CONTENT – My cat Joe is dying. Friend always contradicts me. (Changing meds.) It’s been difficult watching Michael Joseph become weaker and weaker, sleep more and more. It’s tearing me up. I don’t know what to do with the anxiety sometimes. I’m working on several art projects. I’m successfully working…
A double shot of usefulness
I’ve not shown off my Philodendron Hope plant in awhile. It’s growing out of two Betta tanks. I’m going to clip it back soon and allow certain leaves to mature. It’ll look nicer cut back. I have hope. There’s no doubt about the hope I have, but the path to…
Life Today
My hospital bed allows me to sleep well. I can lift the head and feet which helps me rest. Joe turned 15 on the first. Come April my CNA will have been here for a full year. She treats me well. I have a CNA on Saturday too. I like…
This week in photos: Stress. Pets. Art.
Joe has finally won over the CNA. She likes him quite a bit. Joe doesn’t climb in the chair she usually sits in but he does rest under it now. I’ve been doing more art with Scriptures and scriptural thoughts. This little 8×5-ish painting is for a good friend of…
Bad Things Happen to Good People
It’s sobering to think that no matter what we do or don’t do, bad things happen, sometimes in rapid succession. There’s an historic example of a man who lost loved ones, employees, finances and his health in no time flat. When I think about his life before disasters struck, I…
Doing new things in this old life
For the moment all is quiet in Frog Mansion. I’m exhausted and frankly over it. I guess the only thing left is for everything to grow in. The frogs are certainly enjoying the extra room. I put together a 5 gallon aquarium as my prop box for plants I’ll use…
Art. Frog Mansion. Future Pets.
What an exciting few weeks! Art. I’ve continued to work on the three paintings. I’ve been able to sketch to help with anxiety and menopausal fueled rage. That’s been an issue for sure but I’m searching for ways to manage it. The essential oil called Peace and Calming by Young…
