You KNEW I'd stop in here during my vacation, didn't ya~~

Yup...I iz here, in Cle-ve-land, visiting my three wonderful furbabies, whose 8th birthday was Saturday. I hear they had a wonderful birthday, and I'm glad for that. This week, I want to keep as busy as I can and not be online too much. But, I just thought I'd come back and let you know I made it here safely.
Saturday, as the plane left California, I cried.
I LOVE YOU, CALIFORNIA, AND I MISS YOU LOTS!! But, I missed my furbabies too. I'll only be here a week, I promise. Hmmmmm...just long enough to get over this jet lag. I had so much I wanted to do today, but I was exhausted with, I presume, jet lag--and my time of the month. I can still clean my room tonight...but going to Wal-Mart, and the thrift store...that'll have to wait till tomorrow. I do have to clean my room, though.
Strange. I was so depressed that I didn't realize it before I went back to San Diego, but I left my room here in such a mess...it looks like it was hit by a tornado. So...my work is cut out for me, here as much as in San Diego, where I get to clean out the guest bedroom when I go back.
By the way, I got here by way of Atlanta after all. Not New York. Last minute change of planes. Yes, planes. Delta had changed everything by the time I got to the airport.
The first kitty I saw was Mup. She was happy to see me, but calm and cool as always. She did sleep with me for a little while last night.
Next was Jerry, Tony, and Velvet. Jerry was absolutely ECSTATIC to see me, and still is. Velvet remembers me. And Tony...well...if you knew Tony like I know him, you wouldn't be surprised to know that he hid under the bed and didn't let me pet him until 10:00 last night. Finally, he kissed me and let me pet him. I think he's starting to warm up to me. Jerry spend part of the night with me too, after Mup was done. Maybe Tony will curl up with me too, by the time I have to fly away again.
These are incredibly smart kitties. And so healthy. What a joy it is to have them!!
Da-YAM, it's chilly here!!!!! Before I left San Diego, it was over 100 degrees. My "tweetheart" told me today that it's not as hot there now (88 degrees on the same patio that got up to 104 the other day), so that's good. But here, it's downright chilly!! Yes, it's a pretty evening--just chilly compared to San Diego (the paper said it was supposed to have gotten up to 70 today, but I don't believe it). My dad told me it was warm here the last few days--then, all of a sudden, just as I was flying in, it got cooler and rainy. Hmmmmmm...so I rained on Cleveland?????? I never thought I could do that!! I should take some of this rain back to California with me. From what I saw on CNN, they/we need it.
And for those who are curious...yes, Jerry still begs me to let him see the "beach" (kitty talk for bleach water, that I use to clean before every dialysis treatment).
Well, as I said, I don't want to wear out my welcome on my own blog here, so off I go. First to try to get my strength back and get into cleaning mode.
Be good, y'all!!! And, if you're in California, I'll be back to join you next week--Labor Day!
Hmmmm...y'know...maybe I should ask. While I'm here, is there anyone in the Cleveland area that I should say hello to for you???? Just curious. The main thing I came for was to visit my handsome/beautiful, brilliant, sweet cats--for their birthday, or close enough to their birthday.
OK, gotta run and read more of "Making Miracles." Anything to keep my brain in gear!
Ta-ta for now!! Love ya!!!
(poof)
