    isn't this hospital stuff fun? I can hardly bear the ups and downs of Donald's stay. He is losing his spunk and that is killing me to watch.

    Oh, no. Has there been a new change in his condition?

    Catrin, I'm sorry for this rollercoaster your mom--and, hence, you--are on. I hope she stabilizes soon and is able to go home.

    Ugh; constant nausea would take the wind out of anybody's sails. I pray that he starts to feel better soon. Big hugs to both of you.

    P.S. Taco is doing really well in her new home. I think Paddy is, too, but he's gone on one of his walkabouts today. He did that at our house, too, and would disappear for days at a time. He's been out of confinement since Saturday, so I tend to think that it's just temporary. If he was going to go AWOL, I think he would have done so the minute he could.

    I hate when cats disappear. they have infinitely more patience than we do. And we sit there fussing , wanting to call for help... and they are just comfortably sleeping somewhere oblivious!

    Ain't that the truth. I never stopped sweating his disappearances. Each time he showed back up, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. As sad as this sounds, I suspect that's he's going to eventually meet the average fate of outdoor kitties one way or another. But I take some comfort that he had some good kitty adventures along the way. Taco, on the other hand, will do just fine if she stays close to home and will hopefully go on to live a long life. However, if I had my choice, both of them would be safely living in somebody's home. I'm still struggling with the kitten's death. I don't go very long without thinking about him.

    Dear self:
    It's 35 degrees. Maybe you should turn the heating on...
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear TE ladies.
    thanks again for all your support and kind words. Thanks for letting me bellly ache.
    The Raleighdon is on day 17 of his hospital stay and we have no idea when they will let him leave!!

    Dear Weather gods

    Dear Catrin
    I wish your mom was in the same city as us, I could walk over to her room and visit her!
