The Journey's the Thing…

I have been so busy the past 2 days. On Friday I drove my mother and sister to the airport. They are visiting my aunt (my mothers sister-in-law) in West Virginia and will be coming home on Wednesday.

So, I have the house to myself…

I’ve been busy, really. I’ve been busy goofing off in a large way, but without any mind-altering substances. I’ve been sleeping late, staying up late watching movies, and watching movies whenever I feel like it. It’s a real escape from the living-with-someone lifestyle. So as a result I have neglected my blog, and my reader(s), who, I am sure is(are) concerned. No need, all is well in Somewheresville.

Sweetie Pie is adjusting very well. We have taken some long walks together and she is getting the feel of the place. I find it interesting that the choice snoozing spots for her are not the same as for the late Miss Kitty. In fact, they are the complete opposite. I’m thinking that this has to do with old smells and whatnot. I’ve made the decision to stop giving her thinned milk. She wasn’t drinking water at first, but I figure when she gets thirsty enough, she will have to make the plunge. I hope that this is not a sign of something worse, like rabies, but I think the vet would have discovered that.

Gotta run. I have a pie in the oven and stuff to do, or not to do, as is my wont.

I apologize for missing yesterdays posting. I became caught up in lifes little twists and turns and it slipped my mind. That’s alright. Here’s the recap…

Sweetie Pie is doing OK, and she’s adjusting to the fact that she won’t be abandoned again. I think she was abused previously as well. Very sad, but she is in a safe environment now and already finding her special spots to nap, etc…She was so hungry and emaciated that she tends to gorge herself on her kibble, throwing it up a few hours later. The vet said to feed her smaller portions and keep the dish off the floor when she isn’t eating. Her tummy is so small at 6 months anyway that it doesn’t take much to fill her up. She sleeps a lot, but what cat doesn’t.

My sister came down from Boston last night to visit and to fly down to West Virginia with my mother. This means that I’ll have the house to myself for the next 5 days. I’ll enjoy the solitude and the time with Sweetie Pie.

I’ll post a formal ‘August 5th’ post later on, with some recipes and other goings-on.
