jb - it sounds like since Lucy can't talk to us that she is trying to get your pens so she can write to you whatever it is that her very smart cat brain wants to say - just kidding.  I know - I tell my husband sometimes that Nugget is smarter than me so I'm at a disadvantage from the start.  My dad's cats used to jump on things and slide when they were kittens and teenagers, but they don't do it so much any more.  I used to say they needed a slip n' slide for cats, except cats don't like water, so that wouldn't work so good.  I had a friend whose cat used to love to kill mice, so he named it Buster, because he said it was so good at busting mice.  I shouldn't call the cat it, but I can't remember if it was a boy or a girl cat.  I'm so sorry you've had family mistreated in nursing homes.  I don't like those places much at all any more.  I'm very lucky, because I live in the only city in the US that has Pro Seniors, which is volunteer lawyers who protect the elderly for free.  I am hoping they are successful in getting other locations opened in other cities.  Pro Seniors is the only reason I was able to help my father or I would have been powerless.  I don't want to act like your parent and preach at you, but be especially careful about drinking too much when you are grieving.  My doctor said that alcohol is a depressant and will make you feel worse.  But, that is just my opinion.  I don't mean to preach at you.  I hate to admit this, but I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't.  I don't drink.  I never drink.  But, for the last few months when my dad was so bad and dying and for about two months after he died I drank red wine every day, and my doctor was right, it did make me feel worse.  I don't even know why I started drinking like that when I don't ever drink.  I guess on some level I thought it would make me feel better.  Now that he is gone and I've had time to adjust to it, I can't even stand the taste of alcohol, and I never drink again.  But, I drank red wine every day for six months.  It was not a good choice.  I started feeling better immediately when I quit drinking.  It really was making me much more depressed.  Just letting you know what happened to me so you will be careful.  I hope I'm not coming off as judgmental and preachie - especially since I have no right to be judgmental and preachie when I did it myself.  Just be careful is all.

jb - one other thing I forgot to tell you that happened this week.  My husband has diabetes, and his blood sugar went up to almost 500.  He had been on a pill called Metformen, but it wasn't working for him any more.  So, in the midst of everything else that was happening this week, we had to get him started on insulin.  He's been on it for three days now.  He will raise it 5 units a day until his fasting morning blood sugar is between 80-100, and then he will stop raising it and take that amount.  It has just been a crazy crazy week.

jb - My Nugget story I told you about in the last post.  I think it was yesterday, but I'm not sure - stress again making my memory goofy.  Yesterday I was petting my new dog, and Nugget got so jealous.  He always does, but this time he ran at me and starting smacking me with his paw.  So, I was petting Nugget with one hand and Elbert, my dog (named after my dad, Estil Elbert), with the other hand.  When I was petting them both, Nugget was fine.  When I'd quit petting him for a second, he'd start slapping me again - claws in, thank goodness.  So, I started playing with him, pretending I was fighting.  I had my hands in fist and was punching at him without getting close enough to him to hit him, of course.  He was so cute.  He sat up on his haunches, and every time I'd throw a punch through the air, he'd throw a punch back at me with his front paws.  He did that with me for quite a few minutes, maybe 15 minutes.  In spite of all the stress this week, he had me laughing so hard.  I wish someone would have been here with a video camera.  I would have loved to tape it.  He was so cute.

jb - I'm sorry I haven't been on much lately.  I've had kinda a weird week.  My mother-in-law's best friend, Rita, who was like an aunt or second mom to my husband and aunt or second mother-in-law to me died at 2AM Monday morning.  I got an email from my mother-in-law first thing Monday morning.  My friend Maree has been in the hospital for two weeks.  She is the one who took a medication and it caused her kidneys to go.  My friend, Nadene Renee, had surgery for cancer in her stomach and now they say her womb.  A lady I didn't know well but liked a lot and sat with every month at a local grief support group named Audrey died last week.  And, a little 13-year old girl who is becoming my friend as I've been praying for is here for Children's Hospital and is being treated for a very serious cancer and if this treatment doesn't work I don't know if there is anything left they can do.  And, you know, all of this still doesn't hurt even half as bad as watching my dad die and loosing him or as watching my mom die and loosing her.  I care about all of these people and want them all to get well, but the love I feel for all of them combined is not even half as great as the love I feel for my dad and my mom.  So, it has been a rough couple of weeks, but I'm okay.  This is nothing compared to loosing my dad and my mom.  Some good things have happened though.  Brenda Ann from this group is here in my city visiting, and we went out to lunch I think a couple of days ago.  It has been so stressful the past two weeks that I don't remember what day we went, but we went to lunch.  She is a very sweet lady that I enjoyed my time with very much.  And, this coming Sunday we are having a big birthday party at my church for one of our senior members who has been involved for a long time.  I'm really looking forward to that, and most especially because my church is near Patty's hospital and they might bring her over for the party so she can eat with us and have some cake, depending on how she is doing on Sunday, of course.  And, Brenda Ann and I might have lunch again tomorrow if she gets the email I just sent her in time.  I didn't want to call her this late at night on the phone.  So, forgive me for dumping all of this stuff on you.  I just wanted you to know that I'm not ignoring you.  I really enjoy talking to you a great deal. 

Was the neighbor very mad when Lucy got the budgies?  I imagine he probably was, but I imagine he got over it in time.  Lucy sounds like my Nugget - no matter how much mischief he gets into, I always forgive him.  I can't stay mad at him.  It is not possible.  At first it was because he was my dad's cat, but the longer  I have him I'm growing to love him like my dad loved him.  So, now he gets away with it both because he is my dad's cat and because I now love him, so he gets away with murder.  If Nugget got someone's budgies, I would be defending him to the bitter end.  My husband says I spoil him, because to me he can do no wrong.

I love that picture of your parents.  I really like that picture of your dad, because he looks so happy and full of life.  Your mom and dad both look like they are really enjoying themselves, as does your nan.  I think by nan you mean grandmother - is that correct?  They are lovely people - very attractive.  It is amazing that your nan could drink and smoke and live to such a good age with good health - God bless her!  I'm glad she was able to maintain her health until a ripe old age.

I like the picture of Lucy you just posted.  She is so pretty.  I've always wanted a black cat, but I wouldn't trade my little orange Nugget for anything now that I have him.

I have a funny story about Nugget, but I will tell it in a next post as I think I might run out of characters on this post soon.  I'll send another post in a minute.
