Feeling Enlightened
Hearing none
It is goinmg to be a glorious day
That brown lump with the tiny white was Spunky trying to dry humself off. I feel so blessed. I did not realize how many people like this old ladies writings or rantings. The ranting part is done. I threw that mood out the window last night. Thank you all, each and everyone of you for your kind words to me. It is people like you, everyone of you, that help me cope with everything when memories get to me. A special thank you to Shirl who has also lost a lot in her life, and Mort who has the real problems that is not temporary, still had room for thinking of me. I could go on and on but you all know how much I appreciate the uplifting words. And that is enough of that or I will cry again and I am not going to get to that point today. Last day of this month and it is supposed to still be good temperature wise. Spunky seems better but it is a slow process. We gave him his special bath and cream rinse yesterday, and I think the prednisone is doing its job. Joe was so funny. It is something he would never do for anyone but his buddy. We tok the glass doors of so we could get to him easier . He really was not to bad since this is the first time we have ever done his bath ourselves. Joe put old pants and clean sox on and crawled in the tub so I could work one side and he could get the other. Spunky actually believed we were trying to help. He has only had 2 baths since we got him and then I have used a dry bath on him.. He has started responding to the steroids only last night we had to get up and let him out side because the steroids make him drink tons of water, As you all know what goes in has to come out. It is funny , I have figured his "I want in" howl out, from I see a rabbit, or a cat., or a squirel. His "I want in"' is kind of a pitiful sound like do not forget me. We take him back Thursaday to the vet. He does very well in the mornings but like any of we humans if we have something not right with our body we don't act as good in the late afternoon and evening. Ron called and thanked me for the birthday card and he is on the volunteer fire dept. in Cortland and he said a shed with hay in it caught fire and they all think it was caused by a bottle rocket. Any way the best way to put it out was to scoop the burning hay out and proceed to put it out. He made the comment that he didn't realize how hard it was to put out even on the ground and torn apart. He is also an EMT and he made the comment that he thought he was going to have to give up on his EMT because his hereditary hearing loss has got so much worse and like he said he must be able to hear the patient. I am just so glad that he can see that day on his own rather than to have someone tell him. They have looked into hearing aids and for his type of hearing problem they would be extremely expensive. Then the chance they woulkd not work as they should, I am sure Jack can understand the turmoil he is in because of his problems. I just admire Jack so much for his knowledge, sense of humour and not being bashful (hhhmmm, Jack bashful) Nah about his hearing loss. He does not appear to let it bring him down. One good thing, he has his wife Sherry to interpret things he can not hear, and I am sure she is very much a necessity in his life cause he worships the ground she walks on. Kind of likes his sister to. If I think I can get by with it I think I will psost a picture of Joe after bathing Spunky. Only for Spunky would Joe get in the tub with a dog. I did truly think it was funny. My alcoholic's bloonde bimbo is definately back. Tony, his brother , and her are all hard core alcoholics. Oh well, it is their liver's or should that be liver meaning all 3. Oh well who cares. I wonder if Jan will be back if they went on holiday? I heard from Jerico one day late last week and everytime it reminds me I must answer her mothers e-mail. Oh and I got 6 e-mails from my computer pal in Canada. All jokes except one actual newsy one about her life and family. When I forward Jokes or anything it seems I have to send them 2 or 3 people at a time. I have one or 2 addresses that must not be down right in my address book cause it says "to correct the ones that is stopping it from going out " and it list names but If I send to those people one at a time it goes through. Oh well I am going to have to get my egghead beating the computer in my side bar to straighten this PC up. And that reminds me that I need too tell you all my fridge is working great. My Schwan man will be here today but I have cut way back on him. They to had to raise their prices because of the cost of fuel to run the trucks on. WEll all of you wonderful encouraging people that helped me see that there is a life even at 78 to keep on going, so I am just going through that with as much gusto as I can. I started this aboyut 6:20 this morning and their was gusto in my mind and it kept getting its thoughts turned aroud. Better now at 8:00 and I am really done.
