| Happy Monday from my little place! I had my follow up with the neurologist last Thursday. He is pleased with my progress. He's ordering a sleep study, and later, a memory test. We discussed me going back to pet sitting. He gave the okay. So I sat Saturday night with one dog. The next 3 nights, I'm staying with 3 more of my regulars.  This morning and beautiful grey kitty came to visit. It was very affectionate and chatty. It's pretty thin so if it's still there I'm going to feed it. How can I not? I worked on the house more this weekend. I'm getting closer to getting my Gracie home. Y'all have a gorgeous day!   |
| As well as looking after those lucky pets, please take care to look after yourself. I'm sure that you will. The kitty sounds lovely - indeed - how could you not feed it! |

| Happy Tuesday from my little porch! There is one of the RV spots that, when empty, gives me a nice view of the duck pond. Right now, it's empty. I love to watch the water ripple in the breeze and the ducks and geese glide across the water. It's relaxing. It was already getting hot by the time I went out to drink my coffee so time was limited. I texted NY friend who has Gracie. I want to go see my girl today. My first 2 follow up appointments are set one this Thursday and the other on Monday. I have questions for my neurologist, like what kind of stroke did I have. Can I go back to dog sitting? I miss the dogs that I sit not to mention the cash. I'm barely scraping by on a fixed income. I choose to think in the positive. Y'all have a gorgeous day! |
| Good morning from my little place! I bought a resin chair for my front porch. The chair I had out there wasn't sturdy enough. I sat outside, reading and drinking my coffee There is a pond here and the park ducks and geese are loving it. One duck mama has been waddling around with her pack of fluffbutts. Our geese had 5 goslings which are almost as big as their parents. I hope the geese will be friendly! Those things can be mean! Sparrow were chirping and I saw a hawk. I didn't see the Mississippi kites. I love being able to take in the critters Y'all have a beautiful day! |
| Happy Sunday from my little place! I'm still making small steps in my stroke recovery.ive actually cooked twice and, today, I got a few groceries. It's a whole new world retraining my brain. Little things that I used to do. I'm either relearning or finding a new way to do those things. It's been cool here in my part of Texas. In other parts of the state, has been dealing with catastrophic flooding. Numerous dead, including children. My heart is breaking for the victims and their loved ones. The pictures and videos are devastating. Hugs to y'all! |
Pumpkin  - I have been driving locally. I have a great community of friends who call and text to check on me. |
| Happy Wednesday from my little house! Yes I'm finally home! My place is a cluttered mess. No one would help when I was in the hospital and rehab. But I have help now. My friend is letting Gracie stay with him until we make room for her crate. This stroke stuff is for the birds. New challenges and learning how to do things with a disability. I was very fortunate. It was a mild stroke. I'll try to check in more. Yall be good! from me and Gracie  |
| Good evening from rehab. I begin the rehab part of my journey tomorrow I've heard good things about this place. I'm scared and frustrated but determined to battle through this. My room has a nice view. I'm watching a storm move in now. I have such wonderful people in my life.. checking on me, helping me, and taking care of Gracie I miss my girl so much! Yall have a wonderful evening. |
| Good evening from the hospital! Yes the hospital. I felt off Saturday morning and numb and weak on my left side. It was worse on Sunday. I kept trying g to fall. Same yesterday morning so I call 911. Seems I had a mild stroke. My speech is good. Just weak. Was stubborn and insisted on going home to Gracie. I have 3 small steps. Got to the last one and fell and couldn't get up so I called for the ambulance and here I am again in the hospital. I'm being admitted and they are looking for a rehab to admit me to. I'm freaked out about not being as independent. |
| Happy Friday from my little house! I'm still looking for work. I've had some dog sitting Gig and have another scheduled. It helps to keep my head above water. Gracie and I are good. I've been working on my place, getting rid of clutter and making it into a home. Summer is finally rearing it's ugly, hot, and humid head. Ugh Just wanted to check in. Y'all have a beautiful weekend! from me and Gracie |
| Happy Friday Eve from my little house! Gracie and I (yes that's her in my pic) tried 2 of the parks before we could get out. A woman and her 3 dogs were in our usual place. So I had planned to let her run loose at the ballfields. The gates there were locked still so we went to the playground park. We walked the perimeter of that one. It's really pretty with a concrete path. The humidity was ugh, so we made one lap and came on home. It wiped her out. She's napping at my feet now. I'm looking into some of the programs that the local libraries have going this summer. It will keep me from getting bored and I'll meet new folks. One has free art classes. I'll see what else is available. Y'all have a gorgeous day! from me and Gracie |
| Happy Monday from my little place! I'm still on the hunt for work. It's like rinse and repeat. We're scraping by and doing fine. Slowly the house is getting clean, stuff gone. I planned to go nuts last weekend but ended up sick. Massive, awful migraine and nausea. It's still hanging on but I'm much better each day. Gracie is living her good girl life. She's loving that I'm home almost all the time. It's rapidly getting to the point that she can't go whenever I need to go inside anywhere. Texas summers are too hot. We're actually expected to surpass a heat record. Maybe even 100F. Y'all be good and enjoy this day! from me and Gracie! |
| Happy Thursday from my place! I'm still on the hunt for employment. I've had a few interviews. I filled out an application at a dog groomer for a receptionist today. I liked the vibe of the place. I do have a few dog sitting gigs this weekend and another in a few weeks. That has really helped Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes. It was a quiet day, spent at home. Have a gorgeous day, y'all! from me and Gracie! |
