And One Cat at That in Everyday Ramblings

It is a good thing you all like flowers or you wouldn’t ever come visit my pages here during the spring. I just can’t help it. The light, the colors are irresistible.
Thank you all for your support. I am sure I will be absolutely fine once my birthday rolls around but all this stuff about where I am in my life is coming up for me and I am weary.
My heart just aches for moms with sick or disabled children and the relentless demands of taking care of them. Sammy is just a cat! And one cat at that. But his care takes focus and planning and nerves of steel some days. He threw up right next to my head on the bed at 3 AM. And then got all fussy about taking the med that makes his stomach feel better. His fluid bag is acting wonky and there are days I just want to run away.
Luckily I am listening to a very engaging Louise Penny mystery on audiobook when I am out walking/running. And I’ll be doing that in a few hours.
So I do get breaks. He has good days and is not ready to go yet.
Thank goodness for marvelous, music, food and literature, design and the wonder of electronic communication!

Sammy is family. I hear you about families with seriously ill kids, so so sad and unimaginably hard.
Your last paragraph - we are all lucky for all that.

yes we all need those stabilizing factors to enable us to deal with the rest life throws at times. Sorry Sammy is still so time-consuming for you, but its your love and caring that are making a difference in his life, and, after all, life is about "making a difference" isn't it? I understand how we all tend to become rather focussed around birthday times, on where life is taking us ......follow your heart. And I do enjoy your beautiful floral images. hugs p

Caretaking is grueling, no matter who you're a caretaker for. I can't imagine it longterm with a human. Sammy is a lucky lucky guy to have you there-
