Again????
Well...what started out as a vacation from Cleveland to San Diego, turned out to be me moving back to San Diego (and NOT regretting it one bit!).
So now, I guess this is another vacation...Hmmmmm...when a person doesn't know if they're coming or going, I guess EVERY trip is a vacation...Let me think about that for a few.
Saturday, late, I'll be flying...get this...to JFK Airport, in NY! WHO ever would think they'd have to fly to Cleveland from San Diego by way of New York???!!! Then again, if I had gone back there in May as I had planned (before my transplant was cancelled..GRRRRRRRRRR!), I'd have had to transfer in Atlanta; that's even farther out of the way.
I'll get to Cleveland early Sunday. Not quite in time for Tony, Jerry, and Mup's birthday (they turn 8 years old on Aug. 29th, Saturday), but close enough.
And, next week, I'll be spending plenty of quality time with those three handsome/beautiful/brilliant furbabies, whom I've known since they were infant kittens!!
Eight years ago yesterday...Aug. 26, 2001...which now seems forever ago...Twig--the kitty mom--swatted me with her paw. She was on the counter, probably begging for more kitty breakfast. I saw her and wanted to get her off there. You know, lift her. Off the counter. She looked at me, with those big, green eyes, hissed at me, and swatted me with her paw. Three days later, my "tweetheart" left me a message on my pager (which I no longer have), saying something about "ask me what the number three means".) I hadn't a clue. Using what little I then knew about cat pregnancies, I figured Twig was going to have little Libra kitties (late Sep, through Oct. 19). When I finally gave up on guessing what that "number three" meant, my "tweetheart" told me. Twig had her babies. WHAT????, I said. Already??? Hmmmm...well, what little I did know indeed about cat pregnancies. Now I know. They're shorter than I thought!! And that evening, Aug. 29, 2001, I came to this house, to see the new kittens. How darling!!!! How sweet!!!!! It was in that moment that I formed a bond with those little angels...that bond will never break, even if we're miles apart!!! That's the magic of a mother/kitten bond.
Well...I'll be back. Not sure if I'll be back during my vacation. Even if I do come back next week, I won't be here too much!!!! My mind is made up not to be on here too much!!!
Then, I fly back here, by way of Cincinnati, on Sep. 7th, to return around 10:20AM.
I'll have you all in my prayers, thoughts, etc., while I'm up there.
Off I go, into the wild blue yonder!!
Love ya!!
(poof)
