Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (73) Caturday greetings to you and you precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

The waif count was a bit sparse again this morning. Before I saw him, I heard Tux Jr. I think he does that to make sure it's the "food man" and not some jerk. He seemed happy to see me though. I also saw Little Gray and White Cat up by the pool and gym.

Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to going to that job Monday. Especially depending on how soon I'd have to go to my shift of 2-10:30 as Anne and I won't get to have supper and watch our shows together sad.gif If all goes well, ADP is supposed to start 10/16. So, two weeks exactly. It will be my pleasure to walk out of Transcentra.

Tang was in pretty good spirits this morning and seemed to be doing well when we left to go to a street fair downtown. It was kind of a bust BTW. So, we found a 5/3 branch open in a Kroger so I could get TARC tickets for next week and there was a Great Clips there so I got my hair cut.

We are back at Anne's to resupply and will get groceries and head back to my place soon. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN.

Hi, Tracy, sunset pleasant 60-ish Monday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I can so empathize with you about not looking forward to going to a job. Am I correct in assuming that the Transamerica hours are 2 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.? How will this work out with your transportation? The good news is that it's only for 2 weeks until you're able to start your job at ADP. I'm so glad you now have an official start date there, so it really gives you something to look forward to. Please let us know how things are going.

So glad you saw some of the regular community waif gang yesterday during your provisioning. I'm so smiling at Tux Jr letting you know he's about so that you can let him know it's safe for him to join you. And it's always a blessing to share your news that your precious Tang is doing well.

It has been a bit of a different day here. Plans for the day significantly changed when I tried to start the car and nothing happened -- no sound of any kind when I turned the ignition on. Signs of a very dead battery. So I called AAA, and within the hour a young man was here to start the car for me. When he got the car started through a jump start, he had me turn off the ignition and then try to re-start the car - - and once again not a whimper. He got the car started again and I left the car running while I called one of the local service centers to see if they could install a new battery for me. So I had to take the car into the service center to have that done - - this was already mid afternoon around 2 p.m.. It was around 3 p.m. when I got back home and needed to get Noah his lunch and get something to eat as well. My precious Noah has had his dinner now and I'm trying to get caught up with some things before settling down for the evening. I have an MD appointment tomorrow with my regular doctor - - that appointment is around 12 Noon - - I don't know if I'll be able to be online tomorrow, but just wanted to let you know so that you wouldn't be concerned.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. I didn't see you on here for 2 days and was worried. Sorry yo hear about your car, but glad you are OK. I hope Noah is too.

I only saw Siamese this morning putting out the food. I hope the others are doing OK.

I start my 2-10:30 hours today which stinks. Given that schedule, I will post when I can. I can take the bus there, and Anne will pick me up. It's going to take sleeping in "shifts" for us to spend any time together though. Hopefully it's temporary. I say hopefully because all ADP wanted from her are the GED transcripts which we both have. From me they want better contacts for 2 jobs and my college transcripts which I have already mailed off for from the education commission since that school closed down years ago. Given the typical government snail pace, who knows how long that will take. I'm betting she gets cleared way before I do (sigh)

Tang is well and having some balcony time. I hope today is kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

The hoops people have to jump through to satisfy an employer's HR policies is - - in my opinion - - absurd. I hope all goes smoothly for your "clearance" to work at ADP. It sounds like that job would be better work hour-wise as well as giving you and Anne an opportunity to work for the same employer. Please let us know how things go.

Yesterday's MD appointment with my regular doctor went well. The other two specialists have not been doing a great job in keeping him informed as to what they have been doing in terms of tests and medications, so I brought him up to date on everything that has been happening since I last saw him in May, as well as gave him a list of all the medications and treatments the specialists have prescribed thus far. I got the first pneumonia vaccination yesterday which needs a booster next year as well as the flu shot. Tomorrow I go to my rheumatologist for a blood test, so since that will be a full day I may not be online tomorrow, but I'll be back as soon as I can - - just want to give you a heads up so that you don't get concerned.

Otherwise things here are going okay. My precious Noah and I had a nice sleep in this morning. He joined me here at the big computer around 11:30 a.m. to greet me and keep me company as I have been working on various things - - financials and my grocery list.

My friend, I hope things are going relatively okay for you with your current job, and am so glad that Anne picks you up after your shift to take you home. And once again I hope you hear from ADP soon that all your paperwork is in order.

As always, I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. I hope that this finds you and Noah both doing well. I'm glad to hear all went fairly well with your doctor's appointment yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you for your continued well being.

This morning Tux Jr was the only waif I saw. I hope the others are doing OK.

Yesterday I spoke with the ADP screening agent and she said the notes said my work stuff was OK and they requested my college transcripts. She went on to say that the expect to have it wrapped up (I hope) by 10/09.

Not much else happening with the crazy work/sleep schedule. I hope today will be kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish T G I F greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like positive progress is being made in your application process for ADP and hope it will continue to proceed without any complications. Please let us know how things go. In the meantime hang in there with your current job with Transamerica although I know it's a challenge particularly with the your current schedule.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement with my health issues. Yesterday's trip to the MD office for blood tests went smoothly. Now it's a matter of waiting for the results which should be available sometime next week. My brother and I had lunch at a restaurant in a shopping mall close to the MD office before he brought me home. By the time we got home my precious Noah was very anxious to get his lunch as it was well past his normal time to have something to eat. We had a nice evening of snuggles and cuddles before it was time to settle down for bedtime. We had a nice snuggle this morning after his breakfast, and I managed to start my day without disturbing his sweet slumbers. He finally joined me for the day around 12 Noon greeting me and keeping me company as I finished up some chores. Soon it will be time to start getting his lunch for him as my regular volunteer may want to stop by and chat for a bit when she brings my trash can back up to the house later this afternoon.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (82) TGIF greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. I hope your medical tests bring you some good news and relief.

In the course of putting out food and doing laundry this morning, I saw both Tux boys and Bobtail. I hope the others are doing well.

Thanks for the well wishes on the ADP job. I tried emailing my staffing coordinator this morning only to receive an out of office auto replay (sigh) I guess I will have to try again Monday.

My tummy has been acting up today which has left me sluggish and tired. So I guess it's a good thing I was off today; but I'm not looking forward to working Sunday. I truly do hope this is only temporary.

Tang has kept me faithful company today and is doing well. It will be time for his supper and shot soon. Speaking of which, I taught Anne how to administer the shot while I'm at work in the evenings. She reports that's going well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Caturday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry you had a GI upset yesterday and hope you're feeling better today. I was wondering about your work schedule - - so it's Sunday and Monday through Thursday. That in itself isn't too bad - - for me it would be the hours that would be the "killer." I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that this job is only temporary for you. Remember that Monday is a holiday, so you may not be able to get a response from the ADP staffing coordinator until Tuesday or sometime thereafter next week. It's just a thought I would share with you in case you can't get a response on Monday.

Have been doing some work on the desk top computer, and am almost done. My precious Noah and I had a very nice snuggle sleep in this morning after his breakfast, and he joined me for the day around 12 Noon to greet me and keep me company. Have a couple more chores to do and then it will be time to start getting my precious boy his lunch.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sometimes rainy Caturday greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

This morning's waif turnout was a bit sparse with only Tux Sr and Little Gray showing up around third spot by the pool and gym. I hope the others are doing OK.

I forgot about Columbus Day. I'm not sure if ADP will recognize that as a holiday, but I will try anyway. Thanks for the heads up on that.

Anne and I went to the annual St. James arts and crafts show by Central Park in Old Louisville. It was crowded and started to rain so we wrapped things up and did our weekly "staples" shopping.

We are back at her place now where she's getting provisions to come back to my place. Tang was in good spirits when we left and I hope he still will be when we get back there.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes rainy 70-ish Sunday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

Sorry the rain changed your and Anne's plans staying at the St. James arts and crafts show in Old Louisville but am sure you both found a way to pass the time both at her apartment and yours. At least you saw Tux Sr and Little Gray during your provisioning yesterday, and am also keeping all the waifs in my thoughts and prayers that each of them are safe and sound. And it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Worked on my brother in law's birthday card today while my precious Noah enjoyed his sweet slumbers. He joined me at the big computer around 11 a.m. to greet me and keep me company while I worked on it. Have it printed off and will finish working on it over the next few days. Will need to get it in the mail the week of October 23 as his birthday is the first week in November. Tomorrow will be a busy day as I'm getting my hair cut. I'm looking forward to it as it's been 11 years since my last hair cut and I would like it shorter so that it's easier to take care of. The beautician does house calls so she's coming here to my home tomorrow morning around 10 a.m.. I'll let you know how it goes. Then Tuesday is grocery errand day with one of the Neighbor's volunteers doing the errand for me. So it will be a busy couple of days around the homestead here.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. I hope you will be happy with your new hair style too.

I didn't see any waifs this morning which wasn't surprising since it's raining. I hope they are doing OK though.

Since I have to work today (ugh) Anne and I stayed here and watched Rifftrax. She's going to drop me off at work then do laundry and get her oil changed since her light came on a few days ago.

Tang is doing well and enjoyed some balcony time during a brief break in the rain. I hope today is being kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, humid cloudy sometimes sunny 80-ish Monday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I guess one of the few "redeeming" points of starting work mid-afternoon is that you get to share some quality time with your precious Tang and Anne. I hope you will hear from ADP this week and that it will be good news verifying your start date. Please let us know how things go.

Today was an early rise day for me in preparation for getting my hair cut so sadly my precious Noah and I didn't have a chance for a snuggle sleep in this morning. The beautician arrived right at the scheduled time and did a very nice job - - I am thrilled with the results. My hair grows really slowly so it will be awhile until I need another cut. All the regular chores are done for now so am taking time to rest a bit. My precious Noah is doing well and is settled next to me as I'm writing to you.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. I hope this finds you and your precious Noah doing well. I'm glad to hear that you are happy with your new hairstyle.

This morning's waif turnout was not bad. I saw Tux Jr at the second spot with Bobtail, Little Gray and White Cat rounding out the group at the third spot.

I tried calling my so called ADP staffing coordinator yesterday only to get his voice mail (what a shock) I'm pretty sure he's lazy and I'm not going to get the all clear for next week. YAY, I get to stay at this BS job indefinately.

Tang is doing well though and enjoying some cool morning air on the balcony. I hope today will be kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy 70-ish Tuesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

It's discouraging indeed when you're anticipating information about a job and you can't get in touch with the person who is - - in effect - - holding your life in their hands. I hope you hear from the recruiter soon, Tracy, and that the news you receive is that everything is clear for you start the job. In the meantime you might want to continue your job search to keep your options open. Please let us know how things go.

It's good news that you saw some of the regular waifs yesterday during your provisioning, and as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious Tang is doing well and enjoying some balcony time.

It was another early rise day for me and my precious Noah this morning in preparation for the Neighbors volunteer to come get the grocery list. He is at Kroger now but am anticipating him to be finished soon and on his way here. This afternoon will be busy putting provisions away and getting my precious Noah his lunch and hopefully having some snuggle time together.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. I hope this finds you and Noah both doing well. I hope everything turned out well with your volunteer's grocery run for you.

Anne went to bed before me last night (OK technically this morning) So I fed the waifs before I turned in myself. I didn't see any of them though.

The good news is that we both got our COE (commencement of employment) letters in our emails yesterday from ADP. So, we just have to get to the end of the week on the jobs we hate. Thursday for me, Friday for her. Needless to say, we are both relieved.

Tang is doing well and enjoying balcony time while Anne gets ready for work. I hope today will be kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

Congratulation to you and Anne on your new jobs with ADP. I am soooo happy for the both of you as I know you both are in jobs that you totally hate. Although I know for you the job at ADP is not want you were hoping for, I hope that being able to work a decent schedule (I hope) with Anne will help to compensate. Please let me know how things go for the both of you.

Have been busy working on the big desk top computer today - - financials as well as doing some research "window shopping." My precious Noah decided to have his after breakfast nap on his bathroom window perch. I was hoping for a snuggle cuddle this morning but - - alas - - not today - - perhaps tomorrow. My precious boy joined me at the computer around 11 a.m. and has been keeping me company while working. Am expecting delivery of his food and supplies today so will have that to take care of whenever it arrives.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy humid 70-ish Thursday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I hope everything is okay, my friend. I will look forward to sharing your news whenever possible.

Didn't have anything pending on the priority list today so took advantage of that and did some much needed vacuuming and dusting here in the basement living quarters. When Noah begins to sneeze it's time to do some cleaning. I managed to do a more thorough job than I've done in the past - - was able to move the bed to get some of the nooks and crannies there, and managed to get the cobweb removed forming on the window sill around Noah's bathroom window perch. Still have the kitchen and computer area to do but that will have to wait for another day as my arms were beginning to hurt a little from using the vacuum cleaner. So I'm taking some time to rest with my precious Noah settled next to me as I'm writing to you. Will need to get Noah's lunch earlier today as my regular volunteer will be here in about 45 minutes or so.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. I hope this finds you and Noah both doing well.

Well, the source of my anxiety has been resolved. In addition to the COE official email for Monday, my college transcripts finally came in the mail. That was the one thing that might have bollixed up the ADP job, but now that's no longer an issue.

That being said, I went to HOV just long enough to turn in my badge and walk out. When I have to stop to heave on the way from the bus stop to there, I tend to take that as a sign wacko.gif

Tang is well and has been enjoying the balcony with these cooler temperatures. I hope today is being kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy sometimes rainy 50-ish T G I F greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so glad things are now resolved for you so that you can begin your job with ADP on Monday with a clear mind and hopefully less anxiety than what you were having during your short employment with Transamerica. Please let us know how things go for you at ADP.

Am also glad your precious Tang is enjoying some balcony time. I know he will miss not having his dad home with him, but I know he will be ecstatic when you do get home.

While my precious Noah enjoyed his sweet slumbers I worked on updating my financial log with payments made for October, and did some filing of medical insurance payments. My precious Noah joined me at the desk around 11 a.m. to greet me and start the day. Chores are now done and my precious boy is settled next to me as I'm writing to you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and pleasant (71) TGIF greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

This morning I saw Tux Jr, Little Gray and Whit Cat while provisioning and doing laundry. I hope the others are doing OK.

I just got back in from depositing my check from Transcentra and running errands. I should get another from them in 2 weeks.
I got the official all clear (including my transcripts) from the ADP coordinator. I can't seem to get my manager to respond to emails or voice messages about the start time though. If I don't hear back, I will assume the 8:00 start time Anne was told is what I should do.

Tang enjoyed some more balcony time this morning with the cool Fall temperatures. He seems to be doing well. I hope today is treating you and Noah kindly and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy maybe turning sunny sometime today 60-ish Caturday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so very glad you are now free of Transamerica and are looking forward to beginning your job at ADP. I hope all goes well for you, and Anne, on Monday. Please let us know how things go.

So glad you saw some of the regular waifs during your provisioning / travels yesterday, and am also very glad your precious Tang doing well and enjoying balcony time.

My precious Noah is still enjoying his sweet slumbers as I'm writing to you. Have managed to get a lot done on the big desk top financial-wise as well as organizing some files which I hope I will be able to remember what I did with them the next time I need to access them. Printed off my bank statement so will need to reconcile it with my checkbook at some point in time. Otherwise I'm looking forward to a quiet Caturday here with my precious Noah.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (84) Caturday greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. Sounds like you got a lot done today smile.gif

I saw just Siamese and Little Gray while putting the food out this morning. I almost walked past the first spot, but Siamese was very vocal about that. "Hey, where are you going? Aren't you forgetting something?" laugh.gif

Today we went to the Flea Off Market downtown, the the Garvin Gate Blues Festival in Old Louisville. Both were disappointingly small and uninspired though.

We are back at Anne's place getting ready to go back to mine. Tang was in good spirits this morning and we are looking forward to getting back to him. He seems to be doing well.

Well, my manager at ADP finally called me back at 4:58 yesterday to confirm my start time (same as Anne's) We are both looking forward to getting started there.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Sunday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so glad you now have a formal confirmation of your start time tomorrow, and I know you and Anne are looking forward to having the same schedule. I'm so very glad this has worked out for the both of you, and hope the jobs you have will give you both financial stability. Please let us know how things go.

It's been a quiet day so far today. While my precious Noah enjoyed sweet slumbers I got most of the chores done and some quiet project work at the big desk. My precious boy joined me at the desk around 10:30 a.m. to greet me and start the day. We are enjoying having the big door open and gated today to enjoy the nice fall weather and the sounds of the woodland residents. He is settled next to me keeping me company as I'm writing to you. It will be a few days before we can have the big door opened again as temps are supposed to only be in the 60's for highs for most of this week but warming back up into the 70's for next weekend.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (62) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. I'm glad to hear you were both able to enjoy the fresh air from having the bid door open.

Waif attendance was fairly sparse this morning. I saw White Cat around the gym/pool area and Bobtail coming from the mail boxes. I hope the others are doing OK.

Today was a typical low key Sunday with just laundry at Anne's place and Rifftrax while having some lunch. We are both looking forward to starting our jobs together tomorrow too.

Tang was in good spirits when we left this morning and has been enjoying some balcony time with the cooler fall temperatures. He seems to be doing well and I am looking forward to getting back home to him.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny coollish 60-ish Monday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I hope all is going well for you and Anne today in your new jobs. Please let us know how your first day is going.

At least you saw a couple of the regular waifs yesterday during your provisioning, and I'm sure the others joined them in their own time to enjoy the food. Am also very glad to share your news that your precious Tang is doing well.

Have been busy working on reconciling the bank statement with checkbook and printing off and filing Medicare payments now posted toward MD visits. My precious Noah joined me at the desk around 10:30 a.m. to greet me and keep me company as I worked on the various tasks. Other chores have been done and am looking forward to some dedicated cuddle time with my precious boy before it's time to get him his lunch.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (63) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

I just saw Siamese and Little Gray while out provisioning this morning. I hope the other are doing well.

Our first day of work was OK I guess. It's call center and that is what it is. But I pays fairly well and we both have the same 8:30-5 hours even after training (4 weeks with side by sides this week.) We are also starting a new payroll period, so we will get full checks on the 3rd of November. Today was mostly orientation, etc.

Anne dropped me off at the mail boxes so she could go home to reprovision and come back over here.

Tang met me at the door and has had his supper and shot. I will see if he wants some balcony time. He is doing well.

I hope today is treating you and Noah well and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny nippy coolish 50-ish Tuesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I know this job isn't what you had hoped for, but the upside is that you and Anne have the same employer and same working hours, and hopefully that will compensate for having a job that is not your first preference. Please let us know how things go for you and Anne.

I imagine your precious Tang was very glad to see you when you got home, as he always is. I'm always glad to share your news he is doing well.

Yesterday morning I called one of the local churches that has a yearly massive community yard sale to arrange for someone to come pick up the two piece heavy solid oak china cabinet as well as the two boxes of china. A couple of gentlemen are supposed to be here later this afternoon to do that. I have also wanted to add the chime clock as I can no longer keep it running because my hands are not strong enough to use the key to wind the clock. So this morning I managed to take it down from the wall and get it packed in its original shipping box, so that's ready to go with the men this afternoon to be added to the church's yard sale next year. The proceeds from the sale go toward their local community ministry, and that's fine with me.

My precious Noah joined me for the day around 10:30 a.m. to greet me and keep me company as I worked on various projects. Still have a couple of chores to do and will get to them after I get this off to you.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and pleasant (66) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. I'm sure the church will appreciate your generous donations.

This morning I saw Tux Jr, White Cat and Bobtail. I hope the others are doing OK. When Anne dropped me off here to head back to her place to freshen up, I saw that skinny tabby scrounging around the dumpster. So I put out an extra can of soft food I had behind the dumpster when I went to take out the trash. Poor soul sad.gif

Today we sat in on some training the seasonal temps are getting on the client we will be working on full time (insurance for Georgia state employees) And it was chaos to say the least. I'm glad we are full time and not temps.

Tang met me at the door as usual; happy to see me. He's had his supper and Shot. I will probably let him have some balcony time later too. He is doing well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny nippy coolish 60-ish Wednesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I'm also glad you and Anne are full time employees instead of temps. You've worked temporary positions before, and that's not a good position to be in. I'm also glad you saw some of the regular waifs yesterday during your provisioning, and I'm sure the skinny tabby appreciated the food you put out. I know all of the community waifs appreciate your dedicated efforts for them.

This morning was finally able to make an errand run to the pharmacy to pick up a refill on a prescription, and returned a few items to Kroger that were arbitrarily substituted for items on my grocery list last week. Only got a gift card for the amount of the items but that can go toward future grocery errands. The yard maintenance crew was here around 9:30 a.m. shortly before I left, and unfortunately the noise of the mower and leaf blower disturbed my precious Noah's sweet slumbers. He was glad to see me when I got back home, and is now settled next to me keeping me company as I'm writing to you.

As always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and pleasant (69) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I'm glad to hear you were able to get your running done, but sorry the yard work spooked poor Noah.

This morning I only saw Siamese and Little Gray (no skinny tabby tonight) this morning while provisioning. I hope the others are faring OK.

Today at work we went over W4s and direct deposit info as well as other various policies and procedures. This took us up to lunch time. We then had side by sides pretty much for the rest of the day. It's doesn't look like it will be a particularly hard job.

Anne has dropped me off and heading back to her place to freshen up before coming back over. Tang met me at the door as usual. He's had his food and shot and I will probably allow some balcony time later on. He seems well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny coolish 60-ish Thursday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

It sounds like your new job won't be a major adjustment for you - - pretty much what you're used to with other call center jobs. On one hand this can be good news in that you don't have to accustom yourself to a lot of changes to get used to. On the other hand, though, I know you were hoping for something more challenging, and I hope you will continue your job search that will lead to a job that meets more with your preferences. In the meantime, I hope this job with ADP goes well for you, and please let us know how things go.

While my precious Noah enjoyed sweet slumbers this morning I was able to work on the bill-a-thon for November's payments in my checkbook. I can begin scheduling online payments on Saturday while my precious boy sleeps in. Got chores done and am now enjoying some rest time with my precious boy settled next to me before it's time to get him his lunch.

It's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious Tang is doing well, and hope he enjoyed his balcony time yesterday evening. I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and mild (73) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this find you both doing well.

I saw Bobtail, Tux Sr, White Cat and Little Gray at the 3rd spot putting out food today. I hope the others are well.

At work we pretty much did the training audit downstairs the whole day. Since it's Anne's Birthday today, I treated her to breakfast and lunch. We will get gifts for each other when we are on our feet later on.

Tang met me at the door as usual when she dropped me off. He's had his supper and shot and I will probably let him out on the balcony later. He is well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny coolish 70-ish T G I F greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you and Anne are doing okay in your new jobs. I'm sure Anne appreciated your birthday treats to breakfast and lunch, and hope you both had a nice evening to celebrate with your precious Tang in attendance. It's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious boy is doing okay, as well as your updates on the community waifs.

The nights have now routinely been cooler so today I decided it was time to change the blankets on the bed from light cotton to fleece sheets. This is just another reminder that summer is no longer here. Since I have well water during the summer when the temps are in the 80's I don't have to use the hot water from the tank when I shower because the water from the well is naturally warmed by the warm ground. This morning when I took my shower I needed to turn on the hot water handle - - yet another reminder it's no longer summer. I am already counting the months until spring arrives again - - 5 months to go.

My precious Noah joined me for the day around 12 Noon to greet me and keep me company while I changed the blankets on the bed and did other chores. He is eagerly anticipating lunch in his bowl, and will get his food for him after I get this sent off to you.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (75) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. Yes, summer is but a memory now. But, we could have a mild winter. You never know.

Last night I took a walk around 10:30 because I was restless and I heard either Siamese or Tux Jr (I didn't see at the time) literally scream. Apparently some woman with a mean little dog thought it was funny to hassle them. I (ahem) "disabused" of that notion mad.gif I stayed with them after she left to try to calm them down. This morning I saw Siamese, White Cat, Little Gray and Bobtail. I think Tux Sr too.

Today we spent the day doing training modules for money laundering, ethics, core values etc. Anne put her laptop (they assign us laptops instead of desktops) on the main viewer and we followed along sans the team lead that's been our trainer. He let us go at 4:30 and said we'd get paid for the full day. Our actual training (4 weeks) begins next week. We should actually just miss open enrollment. Bonus.

Anne is at her place freshening up and Tang met me at the door. He's had his supper/shot but it's a tad too warm for balcony time' maybe later. He is well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny coolish 70-ish Caturday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

How nice you stayed with the community waifs last night to help soothe and calm their nerves from the woman walking her dog. Sadly it's the few people who have canine companions who think it's perfectly okay for their dog to harass other animals whoever who the life form. Fortunately the community waifs have your protection, and I'm sure they appreciated your calming presence last night. They are frequently in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe. Please let us know how they are doing.

Glad to share your news that your training is progressing, and hope the next 4 weeks will go quickly and smoothly for you and Anne. Please let us know how things go.

Have been working on scheduling online bill payments for November's bills, printing off receipts and Medicare invoices, etc. My precious boy joined me here at the big computer around 11 a.m. to greet me and has been keeping me company while working. My Canon black ink laser printer is letting me it's just about out of toner so I had to place an order with Amazon. It is scheduled to be here on Tuesday or Wednesday. There's enough toner to get me through until it arrives. The last time I had to put in a new toner cartridge was April. My precious boy is letting me know it's getting close to when lunch is supposed to appear in his bowl, so will get this off to you.

It's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious Tang is doing well, and hope he was able to get some balcony time last night when temps cooled down. I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (73) Caturday greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

The incident with the woman and her dog was actually Thursday night. This morning while putting out the food, I saw Siamese, Little Gray and Bobtail. When I went to check on my laundry, I saw him again as well as White Cat. I hope the Tux boys are doing OK. There are some other waifs besides that skinny tabby who tend to frequent the front of the property. They don't seem to get a decent shot at the food in the back, so I've taken to putting out a can of food each night behind the dumpster.

Today after lunch (Red Lobster to celebrate Anne's birthday this past Thursday) we went to a Halloween themed street fair in the Highlands. It was really small so we didn't stay long. We also looked at some affordable town homes, but they didn't have any available units to show us; we'll keep checking back.

We are back here now where Tang met us at the door. He's had his supper and shot and is enjoying some balcony time. He is doing well. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny coolish 60-ish Sunday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

So glad you and Anne had an enjoyable lunch at Red Lobster to celebrate her birthday. Hope you are able to visit one of the townhomes soon as I remember you and Anne are looking to make a move after the first of the year when your rental is renewed. Am always glad to share your news that your precious Tang is doing well. Also glad you saw some of the regular community waifs yesterday during your provisioning, and am sure the "newbies" to the tribe appreciate your extra effort in giving them some extra portions. I always look forward to sharing your news as to how all of the waifs are doing.

While my precious Noah enjoyed sleeping in this morning I worked on some quiet type projects. He roused for the day around 10 a.m. and joined me at the desk to greet me and keep me company. When I was done at the desk, he helped me straighten up the blankets on the bed and is now settled next to me as I'm writing to you.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (76) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

This morning I saw Tux Jr with Siamese at the first spot with Bobtail, White Cat and Little Gray down by the second and third areas. The can food I set out by the dumpster is being eaten too near as I can tell.

Today was a typical Sunday for us. We used a 6.00 coupon to get a foot long sub to have for lunch while we did the laundry and watched TV

We are back here now where Tang met us at the door as usual. He's had his supper and shot, but it's a tad too warm out to allow balcony time w/o wasting the AC. Perhaps later on. He is well though.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy rainy coolish 60-ish Monday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

Am glad you and Anne had a pleasant, low key Sunday together and that your precious Tang is doing well. Am also glad you saw some of the regular community waifs yesterday during your provisioning.

Have been checking on financials this morning and preparing my regular order for Walmart for next week. Will need to make an errand run tomorrow to the post office, pharamcy, bank and Kroger. Kroger now offers online ordering with pick up at the store, so I decided to give the ClickList a try with a small order of things that I need. My precious boy is doing well. He has joined me here at the big desk top computer to greet me and keep me company.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. I hope your Kroger Check List experience goes better than ours did dry.gif

Since it was raining this morning, I saw no waifs sad.gifm I hope they are all doing OK.

We started our actual training today and it seems pretty easy so far. I'm starting to remember my training from HCA now.

Anne dropped me off at the mail boxes so I could check my mail before she goes home to freshen up. I didn't see any waifs then either.

Tang met me at the door and has had his supper and shot. He seems to be doing well. I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 60-ish Tuesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

It sounds like you and Anne are getting into a routine with your new job, and I'm glad to share your news that so far the training is going well. I'm sorry your experience with Kroger's ClickList service did not go well. Perhaps it was the store you used - - hopefully you might be able to try it again, if you and Anne think it would be worth the try.

I'm sure the community waifs were doing okay yesterday, With the rain they may have tried to eat in between the heavier showers. I hope you see some of them today to let you know they are still okay.

Had some errands to do today. I overslept during my precious Noah's and my snuggle together after his breakfast this morning. I had arranged to pick up my grocery order at Kroger between 10 and 11 a.m., so I had to hustle getting ready to make it on time, which I managed to do. I am very impressed with the service and will probably continue to use the ClickList service now rather than requesting assistance with groceries through the Neighbors volunteer program. Then it was over to the bank, then the pharmacy, and finally the post office. When I left my precious Noah was still enjoying sweet slumbers. When I got back home he was patiently waiting for me here in the basement living quarters. We have had several hugs and kisses and now he is settled next to me as I'm writing to you. Being able to do these errands is a blessing after several months of agonizing pain which prevented me from being able to do many things.

It's always good to share your news that your precious Tang is doing well. I know he's always glad to see his Forever Dad when you get home. I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (54) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well. I'm glad to hear your trip to Kroger and other errands went well.

This morning waif turn out was a little better with Siamese at the first spot and Bobtail and Little Gray by the third spot. I hope the others are well.

Training went about the same as yesterday. I got 100% on the quizzes so far. Anne got 100 yesterday and 80 today. But to be fair I guessed on a couple.

She has dropped me off to go get gas in her car and freshen up before coming back here. Tang met me at the door as usual. He's had his supper and shot and is doing well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a blissful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny nippy 50-ish Wednesday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

Congratulations to both you and Anne doing well on your training quizzes. By the way, guessing on a quiz counts, as I remember so very well from my school day years. I hope the coming weeks in your and Anne's training continue to go well. Please let us know how you both are doing.

Need to finish doing some chores after I get this off to you, and need to retrieve a package from the front porch that completes my Amazon order. Have done some financials work this morning as well, and am now looking forward to focusing my attention on my precious Noah. He has joined me here at the big desk top computer to greet me and keep me company. I have scheduled his fall check up with his doctor for next Wednesday, 11/1. Tomorrow I need to go to my rheumatologist's office for another blood test on my liver enzymes, so I may not be online tomorrow. Just wanted to give you a heads up so that you won't be concerned.

As always it's a blessing to share your news that your precious Tang is doing well, and that you were able to see some of the regular waifs yesterday during your provisioning. I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (51) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well and that both your checkups go well.

This morning I saw Siamese and Tux Jr right away and even the skinny tabby briefly. Tux was following me down to the 2nd spot until we encountered Bobtail along the path. I guess Tux decided to go back to the 1st spot. I saw Little Gray at the 2nd spot and White Cat at the 3rd.

Work today was same old same old. We are going to to get an earlier start tomorrow as Anne wants to buy me breakfast for my birthday.

She dropped me off here and went back to her place to freshen up. Tang met me at the door and has had his supper and shot. He is doing well.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a most pleasant evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy coolish 60-ish Caturday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I can imagine some of the training you and Anne are getting is boring because you are already familiar with the processes and procedures - - so you're sitting there trying to pay attention while thinking "can we move on to something that I don't already know"? And to think you still have 3 more weeks of this to endure. The good news is you’re getting paid for this time, so that's helpful. I hope yesterday went well for you and Anne, and I'm glad you and Anne were able to celebrate your birthday having breakfast before going into work.

It's been a busy couple of days here which has significantly interrupted some of my normal activities, like being able to get online, but errands and chores are now done - - so far - - for today, and my precious Noah and I are taking a "time out" to rest. He is settled comfortably next to me as I'm writing to you.

The trip into my rheumatologist's office on Thursday, 10/26, went smoothly. I drove all the way with my brother's assistance in watching for cars in the "blind zone" so that I could change lanes safely when I needed to. My neck is not as nimble as it was this time last year, so it's difficult to turn my head to see if there is traffic coming up alongside me in the "blind zone". He also assisted me with opening the doors to the MD office and lending me his arm for added stability when I needed it. After the blood test we headed back to my home area and decided to have lunch at one of the restaurants at one of the marina's on Smith Mountain Lake. It was a pleasant lunch and we enjoyed each other's company. After lunch we headed back to my home so that he could pick up his car. He will accompany me to the rheumatologist's office late Monday afternoon, 10/30, for my 4 p.m. appointment. I will drive again. I need to get as much driving experience again to feel safe driving into the city when he isn't able to go with me. I feel like a "rookie" driver again with her first driver's license. I did an errand this morning to Advance Auto and bought a couple of "blind side" mirrors to attach to my side view mirrors that are supposed to help see traffic in the "blind side" zones on both sides of the car. I attached them when I got home, so we'll see how they work on Monday. I will get the results of yesterday's blood test on Monday when I see the rheumatologist.

Yesterday was busy catching up with all the things that didn't get done on Thursday, so that's why I wasn't online yesterday.
As always it's a blessing to share your news that your precious Tang is doing well, and that you were able to see some of the regular waifs Thursday, and hopefully yesterday, during your provisioning. I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Peace and blessings,

Hello moon_beam. I hope this finds you and Noah doing well. I'm glad to hear things went well with errands/doctor's appointment, and hope that trend continues.

This morning I saw Siamese, Tux Jr and Bobtail and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd spots respectively. I hope the others are doing well.

Friday Anne had a stomach virus that was not pretty (to say the least) But she soldiered on thru work and got a 100 on the week's final (as did I) Unfortunately, I got the bug yesterday after a particularly big meal at Ponderosa (sigh) She's better, as am I this morning, albeit still weak and woozy.

Tang is doing well though and was good company for us during this time; "trilling" on the pillow behind either her or my head happy.gif

I hope today is kind to you and Noah and I look forward to hearing more about what's going on with you. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, cloudy, sometimes sunny, chilly 40-ish blustery Sunday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I'm glad to share your news that you and Anne are doing better recuperating from the stomach bug. GI upsets are very uncomfortable, to put it mildly, and having endured many in my lifetime so far I can truly relate to what you and Anne suffered through. And it's always helpful having the sweet purrs of your precious Tang to comfort you. Just need to take it easy, get plenty of rest, eat lightly for a couple of days to allow your GI system to recuperate. and enjoy the comforting company of your precious boy. Please let us know how you both are doing.

So glad you saw some of the regular community waifs this morning during your provisioning. It's always a blessing sharing your news as to how they're doing, in addition to sharing your news that your precious Tang is doing well.

Not much happening around the homestead today, as Sunday's are always planned to be low key days. The necessary chores have been done, and my precious Noah and I are enjoying each other's company. Soon it will be time to get some lunch for my precious boy.

I hope today is treating you, your precious Tang, and Anne kindly, my friend, and that you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne can have a blissful, peaceful, cozy evening blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, Tracy, and of your precious Tang. Please know you and your precious boy are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to knowing how you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne are doing, along with the community waifs, and to sharing your treasured memories of your beloved Sir Thomas and princess Theresa.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and cool (39) greetings to you and your precious Noah. I hope this finds you both doing well.

Not much happening around here today. We were supposed to go to a birthday thing for her and I at her parents condo, but she decided it was best to go alone. Even though I said I was OK to go. Now she won't even answer her texts. I hope she's OK unsure.gif

Tang seems to be doing well enough, even though he seems a bit bummed about it being too cold for balcony time. Before long, I guess it will be time for his supper and shot.

I hope today has been kind to you and Noah and that you both have a very peaceful evening. TTFN

Hi, Tracy, sunny blustery cold 40-ish Monday greetings to you and your precious prince Tang from my precious Noah and me. I hope this finds you, your precious boy, and Anne doing well and in good spirits.

I hope everything is okay with Anne and that she returned home safely to you after her birthday gathering at her parents' home. I know you were disappointed about not going, but at least you and your precious Tang had some quality time together.

Have been working on renewing and updating my internet security program which hasn't gone smoothly. It's always a struggle for me to figure out the latest technology programs that are designed for the technology savvy rather than the technology challenged. The good news is that both my desk top and lap top computers are now updated and I can move on to other more pleasant things to do. My precious Noah and I had a nice snuggle this morning after his breakfast and I managed to start the day without disturbing his sweet slumbers. He joined me at the computer desk around 10 a.m. to greet me and start the day. He is settled next to me as I'm writing to you. Will need to get his lunch earlier today as I have my appointment with the rheumatologist later today.
