on the mend

The Little Monster has been sick for about a week, and she’s feeling so much better today. I snapped the photo above yesterday after she jumped onto my chair and got cozy atop the electric blanket.

I guess she’s back to her regularly scheduled antics! 😂😆🤣

We have a follow-up with her Vet’s office on Tuesday for labs and also a recheck on what had been going on with her (she’s prone to getting hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, but taking Famotidine when the beginning symptoms occur typically keeps her from being hospitalized). And I am all for keeping her out of the hospital. That last hospitalization cost me $996.56, and I will NEVER forget that total.

Because she’s on the mend, I wanted to pen a series of senryu to her existence. She keeps me happy, and I am so grateful to have her around 15 years later.

Happy Sunday, beautiful people!

May it be full of peace and joy and genuine love.

Sweet Memories

I am aware of time in a way that I have not been over the years before these two were born. When they entered my world, everything changed. First, it was Jaidynn Rose Marie, then two years and a couple of months later, Caison Michael appeared on the scene. I love these two with a love that cannot be described or matched. They have my entire heart.

I woke up this morning and began reminiscing, so here I am . . . “back down memory lane.”
