Wanting to resume writing...

I think it's a wonderful idea, writing... I enjoyed it while I was doing it...and I do have a huge thing saved in my rough drafts, that covers my first grade year and all the trauma it brought me. If you read through that, you will then know exactly why I am so shy when I first meet people. Online, I am much less shy, since I don't have to use my voice. But were we to meet in person, I am sure talking would be somewhat of a challenge. I used to be much, much worse in that regard than I am now. I would NEVER talk. But the phone too...being on the phone...unless it's a business call, I get so nervous...I'll talk alright, but I'll be hesitant...with no self-confidence.
I am toying with the idea of posting my write-up of my first grade year...but, is somebody going to read and/or comment????????????
If yes, then I will go ahead with it.
If not, I will stay quiet. I know when I need to shut up.

:-X :-X :-X :-X

The above symbol, which I have repeated four times, can mean one of two things: either it can symbolize a kiss, or it can symbolize that I'm not saying one more word.
In my case, it's representing the latter: I am not saying one more word on this blog.
Unless I'm missing something, I have not had any readers on here in a while...months. That is discouraging. Why write if no one is going to read?????? This, I ask.
That said, I'm outta here...not to return.

If you want to hear from me, please drop me a line...otherwise, my lips are sealed.
Love ya!
xoxo

Added note...Friday, March 12, 2010: Before I thoroughly disappear, completely, I do want to mention that our cat, Felene, is still missing. She has been gone now, for three weeks. Based on how my search for my Jerry (and his return) went back in 2003, I think it's time that someone, somewhere, find Felene and post her picture so that I can find it...and get her back. Our home just is not a home with another cat missing.

OK now, I'm outta here. Love ya!

It's Always Something...(Subtitle: Missing Cat...again)

Haven't yet been able to resolve the Medicare/Medi-Cal issue, and now of course, it'll have to wait till Monday.
But, I wanted to come back here and put the word out again.
We have a missing cat.
I am no stranger to this problem, as we had two missing cats back in 2003. One was my Jerry. I got him back. His brother Socks had disappeared the same day, and he remains missing.
Now, we have lost Felene.
She is the girl in the first surviving litter of Twig's.
Felene was born Apr. 3, 2001, but is small for her age.
Her tail is about 3/4ths length...not a full tail, but not a cotton tail like her younger sister Mup.
Her fur is black mostly, but with some brown highlights and some white strands too.
Her eyes are green.
She was last seen about a week ago, and when last seen, she was wearing a white flea collar.
I somehow got the false notion that either the neighbors we had seven years ago who would have stolen someone else's pet, had moved out or had changed their stripes for the better and would no longer do that.
But, obviously, I was wrong, because Felene would never wander far on her own, and she'd never be gone from here for as long as a week without checking in.
If anyone reading this blog knows anything about Felene, PLEASE leave a comment...and/or email...and/or...well, I guess you can't call...however, if you know my Facebook profile, go into my "Info" tab and you'll find my cell phone number...then, you can call.
Thank you for your interest and your concern.
The photo is of Bouff-Man, Felene's twin brother...and Felene. Bouff has an ID tag. Felene's white collar is visible enough that you can see it's there.
Thank you again.

Update...

Thought I'd let you know, my Tony isn't diabetic. He had his follow-up test last Monday (Presidents' Day). He's fine...his Grandmama (my mom) just has to put him on a new diet, so he can lose some weight. That's good, because I don't want him to have other health problems related to his size.
And, I'm not diabetic either, we presume. We presume that my sugar level was slightly elevated because I had been trying to get myself rehydrated with Gatorade the morning of my blood test.
So, that's good.
I'll be right back.

Just Like Tony...

Today, I got another bit of news...not necessarily bad, but not necessarily good.
My blood glucose level is slightly elevated. Should be 110 at the highest. Mine is 115. So, not too high, but still... Just like my cat, Tony.
Next week is Tony's follow-up blood test, to determine whether he's diabetic or not.
Soon, I'll need a follow-up test too, for the same reason. Just...like...Tony.
I'm taking after one of my furbabies! YIKES!
Now, I thought maybe Tony got like that because he's so aligned with his Grandmama (my mom), who has been diabetic since Apr. 2001.
Jerry seems to be most aligned with me...I sure hope he doesn't start showing diabetic tendencies!!!!!!!!
My every thought and prayer is with Tony, and Jerry, and Mup too, and myself.
Gotta run for now.

Soon to fly (again)...

It's been a long month, visiting family and my three cats in Cleveland.
Soon, it will again be time to fly, back to San Diego.
While I positively ♥ San Diego, I must confide in whomever is still reading my blog, which has gotten zero comments in quite a while.
Let me confide in you.
My cats are the sweetest, most attractive, did I mention sweetest, little felines I've ever met!
I hate to tear myself away from them. Being miles away from them, as I have been most of the time since May 5, hasn't been easy.
I prefer San Diego, because there's just something about my living situation there...I wind up learning many, many new things every day. That's one thing...this past month, I almost feel as though my mind is turning to nothing again.
But, this time, I really hate to leave my furbabies.
One thing is, we now know there's a chance Tony may be diabetic. We'll find out for sure on Feb. 15, when he has another blood test, without fasting.
I have all my furbabies in my kitty-prayers, and I will invite you to keep them in your prayers as well.
So you see...I really wish I could be in two or even three places at once.
Not gonna happen, I know.
But...it's got me feeling rather moody, to say the least.
I suggest you either cheer me up, or keep quiet until you can cheer me up, because I feel fragile here.
Thanks for stopping by, if you did!! If you didn't stop by, I understand thoroughly. I am under the impression that I cannot write my way out of a paper bag.
At this point, I need a nap. I'll be back.
Monday, please keep in mind, I'll be "in-flight"...at least that's the plan, at this moment. If I change my mind, I'll be here...maybe. Will keep you posted.
xoxo
