Today was somewhat frustrating.

Today was somewhat frustrating. Janel had her appointment early this morning at the medical center. Doctors recommended therapy and a follow—up appointment in 3 months.

It was difficult finding the correct office to go to as everyone we asked directed us to yet another wrong place and by the time we got to where we needed to be we were late. We did a good deal of walking in the maze of buildings, and my legs are no longer used to that. Yesterday was a day for my therapy and I was already sore from the pool. While there I stupidly lost my cell phone and didn't realize it until we were home for a few hours. Loosing a phone is bad enough, but loosing all the phone numbers stored on it is a real pain in the tail. I still have not regained all the numbers which were on the blackberry I had the night of the accident. As a final attempt to find it I gave a shot at calling my own number. Some kind soul had turned the phone into security so another trip was required to pick the thing up. Janel drove me in to get it and rewarded herself with a large low-fat ice cream cone.

What is with all the detective programs on TV... Law & Order something and CSI whatever - one episode after another all day and night... My personal opinion is that they all suck... Then we got “The View” theres a great show for you.. 4 women all trying to talk simultaneously over the other three.. the end result is you have no idea of what any of them are trying to say, but you got a pretty good idea that whatever it is it is pro Hillery Clinton.

The Rat Cat Story - by Janel

Rat cat came to us in a strange way. I was looking out at the greening of sping taking place when I heard a strange sound under the shrubs. I walked around to the front of the bushes and there underneath was what looked like an injured rat or squirrel. Upon further investigation it turned out to be a 5 month old kitten with an abscess so large that he looked like Quasimodo. He was so sick that he allowed me to pick him up and wrap him in a towel. I immediately took him to the vet where he stayed for a couple of days. Apparently he was bit by either another cat or rodent - therefore his name is rat cat. He has been a member of our family for 9 years. He is really a character and very loyal to me. He actually sleeps on my pillow every night and is very aware of any little hurts that we may have. He lays his body on the injured place and seems to think he is healing you. he is a joy and tribulation all in one.

Alexander's History.... Gary

Alexander came into this world, as do many kitties - homeless, very small and not so sure to survive. Cowering in a small and cold steel cage in a bleak shelter, he pulled at my heart strings and I happily added him to my life. He started out tiny, so I thought he needed a big name, thus Alexander the Great. He has since grown to meet his name. He is a big lug but very sweet and affectionate. He can meow up a storm when he wants his chow, which is so often he's on a diet now.

He is an American Short hair tabby cat who has many cute tricks....

He rubs noses and taps on my shoulder when he wants my attention and at meal times'

One cute gesture he taught himself was giving a high five. That was his first trick and it still cracks me up after 10 years.

At night he waits for me to pull back the covers and say, "let's settle in", and thats just what he does. He snuggles into his spot by my side and there he sleeps comfy and cozy all night.

He is a great cat, that Alexander... Whoops.. have to go, Alex is calling me for chow. Time to go , dont want to keep the big guy waiting.
