Quiet Sunday morning in In the Kingdom of Suzu

Quiet Sunday morning here. Usually the neighborhood is busy with football games and parking is limited but for the past couple of weeks, no games!

I’ve been in a funk lately, not sure why exactly but need to snap out of it.

I will be having the fat grafting part of the reconstruction in about 3 and 1/2 weeks, one year less one day from when I had the mastectomy. (Hmmm, the one year less one day sounds like some of the sentences the judges give!).

We had to take our tiger cat, Myles, to the vet twice as he had urinary problems. The first time he was blocked and had to stay for 4 days. He came home and had to have pills twice a day—fun, fun, fun. Two,days after he finished the meds, he started having problems again. This time it was a weekend so had to take him to the emergency vet. He wasn’t blocked, caught it in time, just needed more of the ends. Finished that round on Wednesday and so far he seems to be doing well. Poor Myles! When we took him the first time he was 15 lbs, he is now 14 lbs which is a better weight for him but that is a pretty big loss in a very short period of time. Our other cat, Otis, weighs 19 lbs, he is a big cat–tall and long.

I bought myself a mountain bike and have been riding in the neighborhood. Need to get a bike hitch so I can take it to trails, trying to get Jeff to get one, haven’t quite convinced him and he will only ride on a trail. Had plans to ride with my daughter and the princesses but the weather did not cooperate.

Need to have a little talk with my sister. Whenever I call her I usually have to leave her a message—she has a cell so I would imagine that it is with her—anyway, 9 times out of 10 she doesn’t answer so I leave a message. She doesn’t call back until several days later. She doesn’t work altho she does do a lot of volunteer work but even with that her schedule is pretty flexible. Doesn’t matter what time or day I call, still get her voice mail. When she does call back, I am in the middle of getting ready for work and I have told her that or lately I just haven’t answered the phone—giving her some of her own medicine which I know is childish and petty but it is beginning to really upset me. Whenever we do get together, we have a good time so I am not sure why she doesn’t return my calls. i need to discuss this with her but I would prefer to do it face to face.

Had tried to plan a family dinner with her and my brother—my brother was going to check with his wife as to what would be good days but it has been two weeks since that conversation. I feel like calling both of them back, when I know they are not available to answer their phones and tell them to forget the whole thing.

Have been trying to switch my summer clothes out and get rid of some but it is slow going. I can help Jeff get rid of clothes but not so easy for me.

Still quiet out there, should be a good day.
