I consider it pretty miraculous that you maintained with all that stressful
stuff going on in your life! Excellent job, Lee!!

Prayers to you and your brother.

Although with all that's going on this really doesn't seem to be the right
time in your life for adopting another kitty (or maybe that should read "to
be adopted by another kitty"), there's nothing like kitten antics to give
you a smile or a laugh when you really need one.

thank you for the support, I need it. The kitten will only be a foster, we
currently have five and that is the legal limit for the town where we live,
why they can say how many animals one has in their own house is beyond me
but that is the law so we will either take him to the shelter or foster him
until we can find a home that is suitable. The last time this happened the
kitten was so smart he was one day from me trying to get him into a service
animal program but the right person came forward to adopt him, Lee

You certainly had a rough week. My thoughts and prayers are with you
concerning your family members. Enjoy the little critter while he/she lives
with you. It might just be the thing to brighten up your day. Good luck next
week.

thank you, He is very cute, and so far the other residents haven't thrown a
fit. Miss Violette is a little cranky, but they are in fact enjoying the
two newly put together litter maids, and so are we, Lee, hoping he doesn't
tell me his name

Sorry to hear of all your family troubles. Without all that going on it's a
minor miracle you didn't gain.

Your minor miracle this week reminds me of a line from the movie
"Bruce the Almighty" with Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman: Be the
miracle. Even with everything going on, you managed to work a miracle
and not gain.

Generally speaking, I'm fine. Since Wednesday, though, I've been under
the weather with a cold that still hasn't turned the corner to getting
better. I think it's my body's way of forcing me to slow down and
catch up with all the insanity in my life since May. Today I'm sitting
at my computer, huddled in a blanket with tissues sticking out of my
nose, and nursing hot toddies.

Glad to see you, DH loved that movie, Hope you are well, the miracle is that
I didn't give up. I find the routine of journaling while harder right now
is an anchor that is helping me to cope. Lee
