Life keeps going on, one can not sit quietly and expect to just get by. Engage, engage, I say....I just don't listen.
I finally got my spinal epidural shot. Emotions are high, happy, scared, angry, love, and joy. Will the lack of pain last? That is the scary part. Time will tell. And as I always say " Life will change, but you can't change time."
Cats live for naps. They live for the moment and relax. An indoor cat has no reason to worry. Free food, great sitting opportunities, no worries and that is a cat life.
If only life were that easy. Too have a human take care of every last one of your needs. Sometimes even before you know you need it.

Trip To BWI this Thursday.
Back on Saturday. First time seeing my sister since her three strokes. Of course, we talk on the phone when she calls. I don't want to tire her out. Nurse Kate will be in attendance. Good to see Jerry and have time to talk, if possible. Kate's Late Graduation Party will be at chez Shulman on Friday evening.. It might as well be a wedding. Time to fuss, primp, and stand tall.
Have not seen the house since the upgrade with an elevator and updated den due to the water pipes bursting. It is never, ever easy or calm at my sister's home. Sometimes, when she has tea with a friend, the pace slows down, a wee bit of conversation back and forth. But other than that, it is about loudness, bla bla-ing. Don't get me wrong, I do love these people very much.
But, even though my sister and I grew up in the same household, we grew up to be very, very different types of people.
I love writing, listening a great jazz music. I am quiet. I do not mingle well in crowds. I get tense and start interrupting the conversation. Then, I feel like such an outsider, that I never fit in anywhere.
I am different, I know it, I love that about myself, I am kooky, weird,artsy, tree hugging, non-confrontive, want to make strangers laugh.
Wish me well. Don't get too serious. Stay calm. Reflect on Judy and how to help her.
