Happy Birthday Baby Kitties and other news
One very weary (in fact sleeping and woke to the camera click) Woody and a very tiny Nani taken Dec 2001. I loved the fact that the tag is still on the recliner ie la-z-boy....
The Kitties are 3 today I wrote them
a poem here They are now settleing into a sort of early middle age which is a very long curve for indoor cats of up to 10 years...
Woody looks a lot better than this now in fact we were surprised that he has lost a bit of wieght and is losing more we think from the fit of his uniforms. He also shaves that scraggly beard of his which I detest!
Its been a quiet week here in Hawaii. This is the lowest time of year for tourists, and the time that we like to travel as a result. We will be going to Ohio leaveing the night of October 7th. I sent off the down payment for the school and we have reservations and plane tickets paid for. I am so looking forward to this it is going to be so nice to just take a break and to learn something new for a change.
In order to do this we were able to get the estate to give us a partial pay out of Woodys estate money. It was enough to get the mortgage caught up and the back taxes paid. What we would have done had this not happened? I dont know. Its living proof that "my God will supply all of my needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.." Philippians 4:13 We asked and it was supplied though I wish that the method of delivery was different.
John has had some serious health issues come up including chest pain and weakness. He was checked out and his EKG was pretty good if not great,considering his weight age and lack of activity, but they want to send him for a stress test on Oahu, who knows when they think that we should just drop what ever and just go... Its so much harder than on the mainland to do anything. A test is arranged then you hope that you can get a flight which on seat is paid for but if a disaster happens, like he has blockage ect, and they keep him for surgery, then I have to make my way there and find a room ... Gosh we have three hospitals here why cant things be done here??? I dont understand.
Sooo. We wait. this is not Bill Clinton syndrome but came just ahead of it and with everyone rushing to have these tests done the system is a bit crowded. Woody did start to take his blood pressure meds and other than a bit of inconvience, hes doing fine with them.
I am nearly recovered from my adventure in the ditch, still a bit sore... but am having other trials I feel like I am 100 years old... just falling apart slowly... little stuff Im sure, just whining. I think it will require some attention. Will be looking at that in the comming days.
The weather has been lovely and dry almost too dry. My allergies are kicking up and I think that is half of my troubles. Need a week of good rain to settle things.
Thanks for the positive response to the nane change and all. I feel like I am surrounded by friends, and even though we are a world away, I count you as such...
