Kittens

Quick update...busy day today! Only been up an hour and already feel behind!

My surgery went well. Hard to see how much better my leg looks because of all the bandages and bruising, but I am happy to have that over with! I follow up with the surgeon in Wausau this afternoon. I would imagine it will be a few more weeks before I can start part 2 of this plan, which is injections to the remaining veins (the smaller ones that they couldn't remove during surgery) to cause them to shrivel up and hopefully disappear.

We had a couple of big snows last week for Pavan's parents to enjoy! The last one was about 8 inches, and Pavan's dad even got in on the action, running the snow blower to clear part of the driveway. The fun part is that with the warmer temperatures this week, Noah and Amaya can go out side and play in the snow for hours without getting cold! Strange time of year with 60 degree temperatures and several feet of snow still on the ground!

Well, the man who bought our house is apparently already selling it. He bought the house and all of the land with the intention of just keeping the land, making a few repairs to the house and selling the house. So, now we have to deal with the realtor coming in and out to show the house. The first showing is at 11AM today. Our maid hasn't come in a month, for various reasons, so we've been hurrying to get things cleaned up for the showing. The realtor is also taking pictures to put online with the listing. Very stressful considering I can't be on my feet for too long before my leg really starts to hurt. Oh, and that's another thing...the pain medication they gave me caused my heart to slip back into that funky rhythm I dealt with for about a year after Amaya was born. So after 2 doses of that, I had to just suck it up and deal with the pain sans medication! Easy to do as long as I can rest frequently and keep the leg bandaged tightly. Even though it's a pain having to deal with house showings, I am very thankful that we were able to sell the house so easily!

The cat we rescued from Lathrop had her kittens last night. They were still wet when we discovered them this morning, and we were all so fascinated with them! Callie was such a good girl letting us hold them and inspect them, but once they started to scream she started dragging them back into their hiding place (a cubby under the bed in the loft!). There is one black kitten, one orange kitten, and three spotted ones. Callie is a calico, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see if the spotted ones develop multi colored spots like her. So far one looks to have gray or black spots and two have orange spots. Let me know if you are interested in one of the kittens, they are all in need of GOOD AND LOVING homes! I will deliver them in a couple of months.

More later, better get the last of the cleaning done so we can head to the park later. Thank God for the warmer weather, around 60 all week here!
