Back At It After 2 Years!

6-1-2014

Oh, my! It is the 1st and I was supposed to have some papers in by the end of May and I didn't make it.
And, I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted - 2 years! So much has happened.
More than I can try to catch up with today. I will try and catch up as i go along and think of things.
For example.... I had a heart attack last year. August 27th, 2013.

But I digress. Today has been a most fruitful day. I haven't been able to do anything except sleep and watch TV for a very long time, due to my lack of energy and my breathing, but today I accomplished a lot for me. I made home made vegetable soup, I cleaned out my canned food cupboard and made it all nice and neat. It made me feel useful and like I did get a lot accomplished.

One thing that happened this last year that truly crushed me is that my darling Chicky died. He became ill in March of 2013 and died in my hands the next day. It was one of the hardest things I have ever been through was losing him.

I got another GC named Charlie Brown. He is about a year old. Today he climbed the curtains behind me which he has never done before, but then he jumped into the top pf the floor lamp! Thankfully the light wasn't on, but he kept looking at me as if to say he didn't know how to get down. I kept trying to prod him by saying, "Jump, Charlie Brown! Jump!". He was too afraid; the distance was more than he had ever jumped before. I waited about 5-10 minutes and asked him again and again and on the last attempt, I said, "Jump, Charlie! You can do it! Trust mommy! I will catch you mid air!" and I couldn't believe it, but it was as if he really understood me and he took a flying leap and I caught him midair! It was so neat. He trusted me and I caught him. Such a satisfying experience with my baby and me.

Well, I have other things to do: clean up some excess papers, catch up my calendar, and take care of the babies.
See you later!
