I just have to share this picture!! This was taken a couple of nights ago, Seamus in his cubby by our desk comp. Serena happened to glance over at him then did a doubletake and told me to look. I immediately grabbed the camera to capture the moment! :D I turned off the flash thinking it would be too much as it usually is when I take pics of the fur babies but I should've left it on. Oh well, no matter, it's still clear! Of course, we laughed our butts off!!

My pain has been up tonight thanks to fur baby Shanni. I wanted to kick her little kitty butt all over the house but I was crying too much. She jumped out of the window straight onto my side. She not only scared me to death but she also hurt my side and my knee banged into the table a bit. Most other people would have a small heart attack but move on. I'm not most other people and the slightest scare or bang of a limb sends me spiraling into pain. I'm hoping that my knee will feel a bit better tomorrow cause I'm having a devil of a time walking tonight. My side is a bit sore even. Thank the Goddess I had the foresight to buy a pair of crutches a few weeks ago. I hadn't wanted to get them but had been having a very hard time walking and gave in to the need to have them, just in case. It's very hard to admit, especially to yourself, that you need help in getting around at times. Seems doubly hard for me given my stubborn, hard headedness in most things. I've learned so very much in these last 4 years since my injury.

Since I've begun to touch on it now, let me explain what is going on, because other than to mention a bad day or more pain I usually don't dwell on it nor do I mention it a lot and try to confine it to the groups I'm a part of where there are other people who suffer in pain 24/7. I don't do this for any pity from my friends here or elsewhere, not thinking anyone would pity me, but I write this to inform so there is understanding at least and maybe to educate a bit more. I don't like it when people worry about me though I know friends will but be forewarned in case I don't come on for a day or two. Actually, I'll make the explanation a separate post because it's a bit long in itself.

Serena has a slight cold and stayed home from school today but she's fine now. She's rested all day and her nose if much better! I feel so helpless when one of the kids doesn't feel good. Brave girl she is she went to school yesterday though she didn't feel like it. I'm never up when she leaves and she thought that she'd have to ask me to stay home. I told her last night that if her nose is all bunged up and she's feeling a bit unsteady that she is to go back to bed and just pop her head out when I get up and let me know she stayed home. I'm not going to be angry I told her. She feels better knowing it. She's such a sensitive girl, true to her Pisces nature as well as her own empathic self which I evidently passed on to her along with her own abilities she was born with. I'm so very proud that at least one of them has shown some paganish ways. LOLOL Serena is the most unique of all 4 of my children, as far as I know anyway. My older son is another story but I'm proud of him as well, in the Air Force. He's a very ambitious one and has known what he wanted to do for many years now. Just as Serena knows she wants to be a vet.

Ok, off I go........

 

Welcome to my little corner of the world. I love to meet new people and make friends. Hope to find a lot of those here! :-D
