    Genever is vestibular, just need to let it out

    Hi there! It's been a while since I've been around, but I need to talk about my Genever. I didn't want to post here for fear of being judged, but I am judging myself pretty harshly already, so I hope there will be at least a bit of support or encouragement or just a virtual hug. I know I'll type...

    Vibes for Dorothy (long post, sorry)

    Hi everyone.   I know I've been pretty much a stranger for the past 2 years or so, but I really need the power of those TCS vibes right now for my Dorothy. She's been a bit up and down the past month or so, lost a bit of weight and blood tests showed her thyroid was high, so we increased her...

    Vacuum cleaners- which should I buy?

    Hi there! I know there have been vacuum threads in the past, and I have read through a few of them, but since the last post I saw was back in August, I thought I would bring up the topic again. Hope you don't mind.. We need a new vacuum. Our old Hoover stopped working a while ago, and we've...

    Dorothy's got eye issues...

    It started the Monday before Thanksgiving with sneezing. By Wednesday it was enough sneezing still that I knew it wasn't just some allergies, plus she was hiding and not quite acting like herself, so I made a vet appt for Saturday, hoping it would be cleared up by then. But she was still...

    Job Interview

    May I humbly ask for some magic TCS job vibes? I have been out of work and looking for way too long, and on Monday a friend emailed me a listing of jobs at his company, 2 of which looked like I could do. So yesterday, I printed off their application, filled it out and brought that and my cover...

    Nosy Neighbor

    Dorothy is forever keeping an eye on the neighborhood out the front windows. Usually on the back of the sofabed sofa which is up against the front window in the spare room, but sometimes from the Ikea chair foot rest thingy in the living room too. It just struck me as funnier than usual today...

    99th Birthday!

    I just wanted to brag and post that my grandma is 99 today! She's doing well, mind is sharp as a tack, but she doesn't get around well due to bad arthritis in her knees. Still, she is a great woman, has lots of stories of course, and I wish I could give her an actual birthday hug in person...

    What kind of apples are these?

    We have an apple tree in our yard, along with the lemon, orange, tangerine, and lime (which we planted and I think is dying). Last fall we got maybe 3 apples? This year we have a lot more, but most are pretty small, but some are normal sized. But I am not a huge fruit eater, and I don't pay...

    The Patient

    The vet took this pic while Dorothy was there to get her skin tumor removed and gave it to me. I forgot to ask if it was before or after the procedure. They kept saying "She's such a good kitty!" (I already knew that though!! ) A few pics of Dorothy's 'surgery' site. Such a big shaved area...

    Dorothy's big day at the vet

    So we took Dorothy to the vet at 7:30 this morning for her 'surgery' to get her skin tumor thing removed. I miss her! I hope she's not too scared, but I'm sure she is hungry and thirsty! She was bugging me since before 6AM, probably for both food AND water, as she usually drinks a lot at night...

    Genever keeps scratching her ear!

    I've noticed since the weekend (so almost a week) that Genever's had an itchy right ear. She'd scratch at it a lot, and shake her head a whole lot too. I checked it out a few days ago and couldn't see any gunk in there or any redness or anything. This morning there was a ton of scratched off fur...

    Our Mister-Friend

    Since neighborhood cat Mister's been hanging in the yard today, I thought I'd take some pics of him to share. Genever's been meowing and meowing to go out, but I told her no, she's too young to hang out with boys. Mister chilling under the apple tree: And under the bench: I wanted to take...
