on the mend

Pictured Poetry created by Tremaine L. Loadholt

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.

skating pitfalls

Yesterday, a few of my coworkers and I went skating. We had a blast! During a nasty turn around the rink’s edge, a young one (probably no more than 12 years old) cut in front of me. I am an old-school skater, so I slowed down some, bear-hugged him, and turned so my body could hit the rink’s floor–and he could fall on me.

I spent most of the night in a lavender Epsom salt bath, and it was definitely worth it. I’ll be skating again next Sunday. I always have so much fun, but the children on the floor never cease to amaze me. They’re daredevils, weaving in and out of traffic, falling everywhere and around anyone. It’s really quite a sight!

Happy Sunday, beautiful people! Do something that brings you joy today.
