Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (85) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster visited and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

I didn't feel well when I woke up this morning and walking to work in the pouring rain didn't help. I must have looked and sounded as bad as I felt too. My manager sent an email asking if I was OK. I replied by Skype back that no and the rain the rain thing (I was fairly soaked) She asked if I needed to go home and I said probably but don't want to get fired. She said I won't get in trouble if she sends me home which she did.

Tang's been around all day and that's nice. He's well and has had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I pit out food for the local waifs.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 90-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so sorry you had to trudge into work yesterday when you didn't feel well but am glad your supervisor was compassionate and sent you home reassuring you that you wouldn't lose your job. The "games" you have to play nowadays in order to placate managers and keep your job. I hope you're feeling better today.

Today has been busy getting my Kroger ClickList order placed for pick up tomorrow and making a couple of errands to get prescriptions refilled. Sweet Buster has been with most of the day. He was here when I went to do my errands and much to my pleasant surprise was still here when I got back about 30 minutes later. He is comfortably stretched out on the settee here in the computer area taking a nap as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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. Partly cloudy and very warm (88) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came to visit and stayed until after you got back. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

I am not 100% but I did feel better today. My manager asked how I was too. Not a terribly busy day thankfully.

Tang was glad to see me when I got in. He's well and has had his supper and shot and will get his treats when I put food out later for the waifs here.

I hope you had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny hot humid 90-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm glad you were feeling a bit better yesterday - - good enough to go to work and make it through the whole day. Please let us know how you're doing.

It's been a very busy day here. Started with an early rise for my appointment with my rheumatologist. Took my winter jacket to a place that does alterations to have them do some work on it so that it doesn't look quite so scraggly as it's over 30 years old and the wear is showing but it's still a very good coat. Then picked up my Kroger order. After I got done putting those provisions away I checked my email and saw that my WalMart order was ready for pick up so I went to get that. I will be glad when it's time to "shut down" for the day - - I'm tired. Haven't seen precious Buster yet today. When I got back with my Kroger order the yard contractor was doing more maintenance, so I'm hoping his mom and dad were able to keep him inside his home safe from the noisy and scary machinery.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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 (83) greetings. I hope you are doing well. Sounds like you had a busy day. Sorry Buster didn't come by. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Work was OK. I had my first 1 on 1 with my manager and she seems pleased with my work. Just watch the attendance (she even said come in if you can when you're sick so I can send you home so you don't get points) and tips for more 100s on my QAs. She talked like converting me at my 90 days (09/14) to FTE is a done deal and to just remind her so she can start the paperwork.

Tang was happy to see me when I got home. He's doing well and has had his supper and shot and will get his treats when I put food out for the local waifs. Tabby is the only one I've been seeing, but she's a character happy.gif

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 80-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like your review with your supervisor was positive - - at the very least a far better improvement over what you have experienced with previous employers. I do understand how hard it will be for you to drag yourself into the office when you're not feeling well to have your supervisor send you home - - but if it will help you to keep your job then I guess it's a "game" you and the other employees will need to play. I hope your promotion goes through as you surmise from what your supervisor told you yesterday. Please let us know how things go.

It's been a slow day here which is a welcome change from yesterday's activities. Sweet Buster has come by for a visit. He's taking a nap on the secretary desk as I'm writing to you. He did come by for a brief visit early yesterday evening, as did beautiful Bonnie. It was good seeing them both after a very busy day.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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 very warm (88) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear both Buster and Bonnie paid you a visit today and I hope they are both doing OK.

Work would have been uneventful but for the fact that all the FTEs had a meeting at 3:45 leaving just contractors on the phone. Which was 2 including myself dry.gif

Tang was happy to see me when I got home. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I put the food out for the local waifs. He seems to be doing well.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny hot humid 90-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like yesterday had some challenges at work but hope you were able to leave at the end of your shift rather than have to stay over until the meeting ended.

Today has been busy reconciling the checkbook with the bank statement and getting receipts coordinated and ready for filing. My brother came by to help me with a project. I got a new, and better, TV antenna so he put it together and through some trial and error testing of best places for reception turns out the attic gives the best reception while keeping all my channels. But it was hot in the garage and he needed some tools that I don't have, so we called it a day. I still have the "old" antenna hooked up until he comes back to do the final installation for me whenever it's convenient for him. Sweet Buster came by while we were working on this project, and sadly I wasn't able to focus on him - - so he left. I hope he'll come back before the evening so that we can have a proper visit for awhile.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and very warm (90) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Sorry you weren't able to get your new antenna installed today and that is inhibited your visit with Buster. I hope he came back and that he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Today we had lunch at Zaxby's again. From there we went to what we thought was a street fair but was just a shopping center tent sale. Oh well. From there we went to Half Price Books to get some activity books for Anne's Nephew's B-Day party tomorrow. Then we went down to Petsmart where both cat and dog rescue groups are still there. I got to hold a black kitty named Bug who almost fell asleep on my shoulder happy.gif From there it was Walmart for some supplies and home.

Tang is doing well. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later. I already put the waif food out as I saw Tabby's little paws sticking out of the bottom of Anne's car. She's looking better these days.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, hot humid 90-ish Sunday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I can imagine how wonderful you felt when sweet little Bug felt safe enough to fall asleep on your shoulder. I can imagine how your heart strings tugged to want to take him home. And how cute that you saw precious Tabby's paws poking out under Anne's car waiting patiently for the evening provisions.

It's a quiet calm day here at the condo complex. Sweet precious Buster is here visiting with me as I'm writing to you. He's settled next to me on the settee here in the computer area.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (89) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Didn't do much today as I was not feeling well. I did get down to feed the waifs at the old place and saw Little Gray and Tux Jr which was a pleasant surprise.

I had to send Anne to the Kroger with my debit card as I wasn't up to the shopping. Or her nephew's B-Day party either. But I didn't feel like dealing with some of those folks anyway.

Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He'll get his treats later on. I already put the provisions out for the local waifs but haven't seen any of them yet.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny hot humid 90-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm sorry you weren't feeling well yesterday but you did the right thing to stay home and rest after you provisioned the waifs at your previous residence. How nice that you saw Little Gray and Tux Jr - - that was indeed a pleasant surprise. I hope Anne's nephew's birthday party went well. And I hope you are feeling better today

Got caught up on a couple of emails today. Sweet Buster is here keeping me company. I don't know exactly where he is at the moment but I know he's somewhere in my bedroom. Beautiful Bonnie came by for a brief visit while I was outside for a few minutes but she didn't want to come in.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, Socks, Tabby, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments blessed with your beloved Sir Thomas' and princess Theresa's sweet Living Spirits to comfort you.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (96) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster and Bonnie visited and I hope they are both doing OK.

I was feeling better at the start of the day. So, remember the FTE meeting I told you about Friday? We RemX people had one today. Seems that the Takeda/Shire merger we already knew about is taking a turn for the ugly. They say we have to go to the other location clear on the other side of town starting 09/09/2019 ohmy.gif I emailed the RemX person and spoke to my manager and we are trying to see if I can get on another team so I can stay at the close by location. They let the woman who sat next to me do it so she could have an earlier schedule to be able to pick up her daughter from day care. I don't see why they can't do it for me. The buses don't run often or very late and it's a 2 hour trip one way mad.gif

On the other hand, Tang is well. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I put out the food for the local waifs. I hope you have had a good day and that you have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, hot humid 90-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

It never ceases to amaze me how a company can royally screw up their employees' lives on the job. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your manager will be able to help keep you at your current location. This seems to be the best job you've had for quite awhile and it is so much easier for you transportation-wise. Please let us know how things go.

Couldn't get to sleep very easily last night so instead of lying in bed looking at the ceiling and tossing and turning I got up and worked on some financials on the computer. That must have been on my mind because as soon as I was done I was able to go back to bed and fall asleep. This morning I got the payments for September logged into my checkbook so now all I need to do is begin writing checks for the bills I can't pay online. I'll begin scheduling the online payments on Friday or Saturday. Sweet Buster is here keeping me company taking a nap on the Secretary Desk as I'm writing to you. Beautiful Bonnie came by a few minutes ago but wouldn't come inside for a visit.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster and Bonnie paid you visits today and I hope they are both doing OK.

This morning I sent an email to my manager. She responded that she talked to her manager yesterday who then talked to the RemX rep who was supposed to get back with me today. She didn't dry.gif

Tang is doing well though. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I put food out for the local waifs. Tabby is my only early regular, but we've been seeing Socks later in the evening off and on.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny hot humid 90-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I guess I'm a bit confused: Please correct me if I'm wrong: You are now an employee of McKesson. I presume your paycheck comes from McKesson. I was under the impression that Remx was the referral agency that you worked through to get the job - - even though it wasn't a smooth transaction by any stretch of the imagination. So why would Remx be involved in your employer's / manager's decision to keep you employed at your current location? Because you went through Remx are you considered a "contract employee" - - thus requiring Remx to "approve" your job location? Whatever the situation is I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your manager is able to make arrangements for you to stay at your current location. Please let us know how things go.

Not much going on here at the condo complex today. Precious Buster is on my bed taking a nice nap as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (89) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster stopped by and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

I'm a RemX employee. I won't be eligible to transition until 09/14. The client of McKesson (Takeda) is making that decision. I was able to speak with the RemX rep today though. What she tried to say without saying it, I think, is I can say my last day on this assignment will be 09/06 and I'm not making the move. Then 09/09 call RemX and say I'm available for a new assignment which would be at the location I'm at in a different roll. I talked it over with Anne and we feel it's a better option than moving as even with her dad giving me rides home (which would only be temporary) it's not sustainable.

Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot. He will get his treats later when I put food out for the local waifs. I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny hot humid 90-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

WOW!! So - - will you continue to go to work at your current location while Remx is working with your current manager to keep you there? I'm hoping the Remx rep you spoke with yesterday will remember the conversation so that you don't have to go through all the headache you had getting your current job. Please let us know how things go.

Worked on financials today starting the process of scheduling online payments for upcoming bills. Had technical challenges with my desk top after updates had been done to both Windows and the internet security program. After doing the restart several times without any improvement I completely shut down the computer, unplugged it and the router, waited a few minutes then plugged everything back in and turned the computer back on, and that seemed to f i n a l l y "debug" whatever was causing the glitches. Sweet Buster hasn't come by yet for a visit today but I hope to see him before the afternoon is over.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Cloudy and warm (83) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Sorry to hear about your tech issue but glad Buster was there for you. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

No, I will not be able to stay on my current manager's team. That's kind of the issue. That team MUST go to East Point per the client. What the Remx rep is saying is I will say due to being unable to make the move I am ending my "current" assignment on 09/06/2019. Then call them and get a new assignment Monday 09/09/2019. Which should be a different dept at Jeff Commons assuming she's being straight with me. It will probably reset my 90 clock, but that's to RemX's benefit monetarily.

Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot. He'll get his treats later when I put the food out for the waifs here. I hope you've had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 80-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so sorry you're having to go the route of re-applying for another job at McKesson. I can just imagine how aggravating this is for you. What about your income during this time - - will you have anything to rely on? I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you'll receive a reassignment quickly, my friend, - - and with a supervisor / manager who will be at least as supportive of you as the one you've had there already. Please let us know how things go.

It's been an interesting day here. The smoke detector in the guest bedroom decided to start sounding off around 7 a.m.. At first it was brief intermittent beeps, and then around 7:30 it set off the rest of the detectors briefly (there are 4 total) - - then stopped, then resumed its intermittent beeps. So I got up on my nifty safety step ladder and pushed the re-set button which seemed to satisfy all the detectors. Then around 10 a.m. or so the detector in the guest bedroom started beeping again. There is no reason for it to beep - - I wasn't cooking (I run a table top fan on top of the refrigerator when I cook), there was no smoke at all in the condo, and there were no flames. So again I climbed the safety step ladder to press the re-set button but this time the re-set didn't last very long. So I called the condo office to let the admin secretary know what was happening and supposedly since the detectors are hard-wired the electrician who is on record of doing the installation has to come to "troubleshoot" the problem. IN ADDITION while all this stuff was going on I turned on my lap top today to do the security updates for both Windows 7 and my internet security program, and encountered the same problem I had yesterday with my desk top. Only this time I wasn't able to resolve the technical issue. So I called AVG and the tech rep did a remote access into my lap top to diagnose the problem. After trying this, that, and another thing the tech decided to uniinstall the security program and then reinstall it - - to the tune of $159 which gives me a year's technical support on both my lap top and my desk top. Everything seems to be working okay now. In the course of doing the trouble-shooting the tech rep discovered that somehow McAfee had been installed on my laptop - - not by me - - at least not knowingly. It could have come already installed when I bought the lap top 8 or 9 years ago - - it was discovered running in the background not obvious in the Programs folder. So the tech deleted that which is fine with me. The tech rep did tell me that other customers had also encountered a problem with the Windows updates and AVG's, and the rep also told me that my lap top looks to be in good shape technically-wise for at least another 7 to 10 years. So that's really good news. So this just leaves the mystery of the smoke detectors to figure out.

Sweet Buster has come by to visit with me. I am enjoying his second visit of the day as I'm writing to you. At the moment he's stretched out on the table in front of the window on the garage side of the condo taking a nap.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Rainy day greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Sorry to hear about your technical issues today. At least they got fixed although the latter ending up costing you. Glad to hear Buster stopped by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

I spoke top the RemX rep today and gave her my "decision" She said she'd start working on it. Hopefully the gap won't be too long as she said before they still have plenty of jobs to fill at Jeff Commons. It's also in their best interest to move fast for the income as well and avoiding another round of background and drug testing. I think the main thing is to remove my name from the Takeda list so they don't throw a fit. I think it's more about them than McKesson; they'll take any good help they can find.

Anne was out sick today but feels better now. At least that got me a ride home. Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot and will get his treats when I put the food out for the local waifs later.

hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy cool 60-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Am glad to share your news that the prospects of your staying at your current location are good. I know this takes a concern off your mind. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you'll get a new assignment soon - - preferably without any prolonged gaps. Please let us know how things go. Am sorry Anne was not feeling well yesterday but am glad she seemed to be doing better yesterday evening. Please let us know how she's doing.

With the help of Abigail's mom last night I was able to contact the maintenance rep for the condos. He came by around 9:30 p.m. to put in another battery which helped to stop the faulty smoke detector from making a racket. The smoke detectors are hard-wired but - - they do have a 9 volt battery back up. The location of the battery is a small hide-away compartment located at the top of the unit - - so it's not obvious unless you know where to look. In all the manuals that were left with me about the kitchen appliances, the heat pump, etc., NOTHING was left about the smoke detectors. So I have been totally clueless about how they actually operate - - until I watched the maintenance rep last night access the battery compartment. The maintenance rep called me this morning to let me know he will pick up new batteries for each of the smoke detectors and will come "sometime" to install them. However I'm to call him if any of them begin to beep again and he'll come sooner. Today has been focused on updating my billing information with some online creditors for one of my credit cards with the new expiration date. And I'm happy to share with you that my desk top is continuing to work okay so there are no lasting ill effects from Thursday's updating challenges. Both sweet Buster and beautiful Bonnie came to visit me this morning. Bonnie didn't stay long. Buster has come and gone several times but is here with me now taking a nap on the chair at the Secretary Desk as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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. Sunny and warm (78) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad you finally were able to get the smoke detector issue addressed and hope they cause no further trouble. Glad to hear Buster and Bonnie came by today and hope they are both doing OK.

Today we decided to have lunch on the cheap with coupons from Steak and Shake to the tune of 7.93; not bad for 2 people. Then I called Banfield to confirm Tang's 10:00 drop off tomorrow for his check up. While over there we went to CVS to try to get my RX but the line was a mile long blink.gif Maybe tomorrow. Anne is doing better and last I checked was working on her FTE offer letter for work online. At least one of us is heading the right direction dry.gif

We were going to go to the state fair for it's final weekend but decided it's not worth paying 10.00 each for them having nothing new this year. Plus the fire cracker/gun shot incident from the other night. What we did do was used our annual membership to visit the zoo since Micki the elephant just had her baby. But they were off exhibit for bonding. We did get to see both a tiger and snow leopard demonstration which consisted of feeding, check up and training. They both did the "paw presentation" which was neat. Since we went early and it was cooler the other animals were pretty active too.

Tang is doing well and has had his supper and shot (got new syringes and insulin at Walmart today) He will get his treats later when I set food out for the local waif.

I hope you you've had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

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

Am hoping your precious Tang's check up went okay today. I presume he hasn't had any additional problems with his ears. Do you still clean his ears regularly? Am glad Anne is feeling better and hope she gets approved for online work. Would this allow her to work from home? How nice you and Anne got a chance to see a health check demonstration of the snow leopard and tiger. Kitties of all shapes and sizes always bring a smile to my heart. I'm glad the mom elephant and her baby are out of public view allowing them time to bond with one another, and the baby's immune system to develop. Look forward to sharing how things are the next time you and Anne visit the zoo. By the way, is the zoo open year round or is it closed during the winter months?

It's a quiet day here at the condo complex. Am enjoying reading a library book by Tom Clancy "The Bear and The Dragon" which is a fictitious espionage story involving Russia and China, the failed assassination of a Russian diplomat in Russia ordered by a Chinese delegate, trade relations between the US and China, and the murder of a Vatican emissary in China - - all of which are somehow related to one another - - the thickness of War and Peace. It's at a point now where the book is getting really interesting. Sweet Buster is here with me. He's stretched out on the big sofa in the living room area taking a nap as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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 warm (82) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster stopped by today and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK. Glad you are enjoying your book too.

Anne was trying to complete some paperwork online for her offer of permanent employment with McKesson,. She'd still have to go to work but she'd no longer be a contractor. I'd be following her in that around the end of September if this stupid move hadn't come up dry.gif Also, to my knowledge, the zoo is open year round barring inclement weather.

Tang's check up went well I think. They tried to rope me into an all day BG arc, but I can't afford the 57.00 right now. Besides, it would have been less than 6 hours and they are not remotely accurate at any less than 8. They also tried to sell me heart worm meds. Did they not read his chart? He's already heart worm positive and there's no treating that in cats huh.gif He was a little shaken up by the "ordeal" but he seems fine now. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later when I put the food out for the local waifs (fed the ones at the old place today but didn't see any)

I hope you've had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 70-ish Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm very glad to share your news that your precious Tang's check up went reasonably well. Was it the vet or a vet tech who was trying to "encourage" the arc test and heartworm prevention? I do understand how frustrated you felt about an obvious lack of knowledge about your precious Tang's medical status. I constantly had to remind the vet tech staff that my beloved Noah wasn't on insulin for his diabetes. Your precious Tang is so very blessed to have you and Anne taking care of him. And even though you didn't see any of the waifs at your previous residence when you provisioned them I know they appreciate your dedication to their care.

I'm glad Anne is being able to begin her transition to full time employee, and I know you will be able to make that transition, too. Perhaps an arrangement can be worked out that your new assignment can include time already worked so that you can make the transition from "contract" to full time employee in September. Please let us know how things go.

Got my errands done early this morning. Shortly after I got back to the condo sweet Buster was at the door waiting patiently for the opportunity to come inside. He's come and gone several times already, and at the moment he's out and about making his neighborhood rounds. Perhaps he'll come back again later this afternoon for a more extended visit.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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. I hope you are doing well. Glad Buster was there to keep you company today and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Well, I have not even heard anything new from RemX rep on what we talked about Friday, so I really have no idea. It was back to back calls today too blink.gif

Tang is doing well and has had his shot and supper. He will get his treats later when I put out food for the waifs. Well, the 2nd round of food. I went to put out water when I got home and Tabby was already on our back porch. Anne says she saw her around our front bushes too when she left this morning.

I hope you've had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, cloudy cool 73 Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you well in health and in good spirits.

I can imagine how unsettled and vulnerable you're feeling now knowing that you're once again the mercy of the Remx agent to negotiate a new position for you with McKesson at your current location. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that this process will go much smoother than what you went through before. Please let us know how things go.

When I fired up the big desk top this morning the internet security program was acting up again, much to my aggravation. So I tried doing the "fix it" exercise which was a total failure. Then I did what the tech did last week for the lap top: I totally uninstalled AVG and then did a new reinstall, and so far - - at least for today - - that satisfied the program. Consoled that the security program was once again functioning I then finished scheduling the usual bill-a-thon payments for September. Sweet Buster has come and gone several times today but he was here with me when the mail was delivered. When I went out to get it he went out with me and then came back inside. He then left to go out on his afternoon rounds in the neighborhood. Perhaps he'll return again so that I can wish him a pleasant evening with his family.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, Socks, Tabby, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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. I hope you are doing well. Sorry you had more tech issues today but glad you seemed to get them fixed. How nice that Buster visited and accompanied you on your mail run. I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

Still no word from RemX, but Anne got her onboarding underway at least. It also wasn't as busy as usual but for the last part of the shift when nobody could be bothered to take any calls. They'll miss their queue clearer when they move.

Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He will get his treats later on. Tabby was once again at our back porch when I got home, so she's been fed - twice rolleyes.gif

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 70-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I can imagine the waiting to hear from the Remx rep is quite nerve wracking. I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this again, my friend. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you'll get your reassignment soon. Please let us know how things go. And I'm glad things are progressing for Anne in her transition from contract to full time employee.

Not much going on here at the condo complex today. This afternoon I'm taking my brother and sister in law out to lunch - - my treat for a change. They selected the restaurant - - a little bistro on Smith Mountain Lake. I'm looking forward to it. Sweet Buster has come by a couple of times for a visit but is out and about on his morning rounds in the neighborhood as I'm writing to you.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (79) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK. I also hope you folks had a good lunch.

Another day wiht no word from RemX (sigh) And Anne has to do extra leg work because Firstsource doesn't have an employment verification line (what a shock) But at least it wasn't especially busy.

Tang is well and had had his supper and shot. He will get his treats later on when I put the 2nd round of food out for the local waifs (Yes, Tabby was waiting on me when I got home)

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny breezy pleasant 70-ish Thursday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I can imagine with each day you don't hear anything about a new position your anxiety levels increase. I'm so sorry, my friend. I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you will get another assignment at your current location soon. Please let us know how things go.

Was able to work on my financial calendars for next year this morning so all I have to do is print them out now. Also did a load of laundry which has been patiently waiting for a few days. Sweet Buster came by to greet me but left to do his rounds in the neighborhood. It's too pretty a day for him to be inside. I saw beautiful Bonnie out and about and called to her to come visit but she, too, is preferring to be outside in the sunshine today.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (83) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster visited and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

The RemX rep wasn't even there today, but I emailed her again anyway. Some HQ (where Takeda is moving) counterparts were there today though. Seems Shire's been in Louisville at that location since the Takeda merger all along. One of them seemed to be wanting to sit with me but my boss's boss (soon to be ex because she's staying at Jeff Commons and ceding that area to another person at HQ) steered her away from me. Just as well as I hate that and I sure don't want to be on their radar because then it would be nigh impossible to quietly change lines of business and stay there.

Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He'll get his treats later on. Tabby's already had her allotment of 2 cans of food and there is still water and kibbles out there.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny pleasant 80-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Thank you for the update on how things are going with your pursuit to stay at your current location. I hope you will hear from the Remx rep soon, my friend, although it might not be until after the Labor Day weekend. Will you and Anne be working on Monday? Please let us know how things go.

Sweet Buster has been to visit with me a couple of times today. His previous visit was shortened by the yard contractor who was here mowing - - for whatever unknown reason as we haven't had any real rain to make the ground cover grow. Buster is terrified of the machines so he left and sought safety in the wooded area that separates the condo complex from the individual residential homes. About a half hour after the ground crew left sweet Buster returned and is comfortably settled in the chair in the living room area taking a nap. Before he arrived beautiful Bonnie came for a visit. She investigated the rooms and then left to go on her neighborhood rounds.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (87) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry Buster got spooked by the mowing but glad he came back.

So, the RemX lady walked by me again this morning without a word, and by the time my lunch came and I tried to go down to see her she was gone. If she has no news she could just tell me that. Bad news is a better reason to be ducking me in my opinion sad.gif At least it wasn't very busy.

Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He'll get his treats later. Tabby has already had her allotment of 2 cans of food and a fair amount of kibble. She sure seems hungry all the time. But if what I'm giving her is all she gets, I can see why.

I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur=ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm 90-ksh Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I know how you feel about being ignored by someone who walks right by you knowing that you're expecting very important information about having a job. It doesn't offer a positive feeling at all. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you will get positive affirmation of another position at your current location very soon. Please let us know how things go.

Sweet Buster came by earlier this morning to say hello but then left to go out on his neighborhood rounds. Perhaps he will come by again later this afternoon. Worked on my shred box today and have begun another library book by Tom Clancy titled The Teeth of the Tiger. The volume is smaller than The Bear and The Dragon, and it's another spy thriller novel.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and warm (80) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are well. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by even if it was brief. I hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Today after lunch we went to the flea market at the fair and expo center. It was one of the bigger ones for Labor Day. There were some neat things including an antique section. From there it was Walmart for basics and home.

Tang is well and has had his supper and and shot. He will get his treats later on. Tabby has already been by and had her 2 cans of soft food and some kibbles.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and hot (88) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Glad to hear Buster came to visit and I hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

We went to the old place to put out food first thing this morning, but I didn't really see any of the waifs. I think I may have seen that black cat way down the left side of the path perhaps.

Then we went to Kroger an Dollar Tree for the provisions we didn't get at Walmart yesterday. Not much else going on. Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He'll get his treats later. Same for the local waifs it would seem. Tabby is under the blue car that's been in Anne's spot since yesterday (I swear they do that on purpose to be jerks)

And speaking of jerks. The reason I can't feed/water her is because there's one just sitting on his porch while his kids run wild through the parking lot.This is the piece of work who alternates between throwing his wife/GF out of the house and beating his oldest child in the parking lot. I called the police on the latter once and the dispatcher could not have cared less. I hope she stays chill under that car until the nitwit goes inside.


I hope you've had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm humid 80-ish Labor Day Monday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sounds like you and Anne had a busy day yesterday with errands. I can imagine your and Anne's horror watching that man beat his child in the parking lot. I'm sorry to have to agree with you - - law enforcement in terms of "group authority" leaves a LOT to be desired. I was raised by my parents to have respect for authority - - but I have always held that authority on every level needs to EARN that respect just like every other individual has to. And sadly much to my life's observation thus far that isn't the norm for "groups" of authority - - individuals, yes - - groups, not so much. I hope little Tabby stayed safe under the car until she / he saw you and Anne put out the food.

I had a chance to have lunch with my friend (ex-volunteer) this afternoon. She confirmed what I had come to suspect over the past year - - she and her husband are getting ready to sell their home and move back to Pennsylvania to be closer to their daughters and grandchildren. My friend has some medical challenges that none of the doctors here so far have been able to suitably help her with, and her daughter who is a doctor wants her mom - - and dad - - geographically closer to her so that she can help her mom, and dad, with their medical needs. I TOTALLY agree with that. I don't like the doctors who have so far been attending to my friend's medical needs, and I told her during lunch that this was one of the reasons why I also moved from Franklin County to Bedford for better medical care. My friend has been going to the company-owned medical professionals that I used to work for - - and grew to HATE. But this company virtually OWNS the medical care in that territory so there isn't much choice in providers. I will miss my friend very much, but we'll still keep in touch with one another with email. I'm so very glad I made the geographic move to Bedford last summer. Sweet Buster came to visit about an hour before I left to meet my friend at the restaurant. He heard me open the storm door as I was leaving and came outside to inquire where I was going. I stroked his head and told him I was going to meet a friend for lunch but that he could stay if he wanted. So he went back inside and I saw him watching me drive away as he was looking out the window on the storm door. When I got back he was still here - - sleeping soundly in the chair in the living room area. He roused long enough to greet me while I got my clothes changed and is now in the laundry basket taking another nap as I'm writing to you. He is such a character!!!

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures.

Hello moon_beam. Sunny and quite warm (86) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. I'm glad you had a nice lunch but am sorry to hear she's moving away. I know you'll miss her but it sounds like she has good reasons. How nice that Buster not only visited, but waited on your return. Indeed what a character happy.gif

We didn't do much today as I'm not feeling so hot. We went to have lunch at a Mexican buffet we hadn't been to in while. Unfortunately as it was a holiday it was weekend rates blink.gif Oh well. From there we went to the Peddler's Mall to look for DVDs (didn't find any) Then Dollar General grocery store over there for some forgotten items and then home.

Tang is well and has had his shot and supper. He'll get his treats later on. Tabby did stay under the car until it was safe last night. She's had her first serving of can food too.

I hope you have had a good day and will have a pleasant evening in the company fo your precious fur=ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny warm 80-ish Tuesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

Sorry you weren't feeling very well yesterday, but it was good you and Anne were able to get out for awhile for some fun. I hope you are feeling better today.

Did some work on financials today and got my checkbook up to date. Sweet Buster came to visit and had a nice long nap in the laundry basket. He woke up about a half hour ago and decided to make his afternoon neighborhood rounds. He may come back later on for another visit.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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. Sunny and warm (87) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are both doing OK.

So, I was able to speak with the on site RemX person. She said (stupid as this sounds) they can't even talk to me about another assignment until this one is officially ended. I emailed her (CC my manager and her boss and BCC myself) of the "official" end date and she gave me the name and number of the person I'm supposed to call 09/09/2019 dry.gif

Tang is well and has had his supper and shot. He'll get his treats later. Tabby was working on her second bowl of can food last I checked.

I hope you have had a good day and that you have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny hot 90-ish Wednesday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I have been wondering if the Remx reps would use your current assignment as an excuse not to speak about another assignment until your current one expires. This still doesn't stop them from scouting a new assignment and having one lined up to present to you next week. The good news is that you have a contact name and number to call this coming Monday, 9/9. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that the process will be a smooth one for you this time. Please let us know how things go.

It's a quiet day here at the condo complex. Sweet Buster has come to visit. He's settled comfortably in the laundry basket taking a nap as I'm writing to you. Tomorrow I have my infusion so I may not be online. Just wanted to give you a heads up so that you won't be concerned.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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 very warm (86) greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Glad to hear Buster came by and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK. Hope all goes well with your appointment tomorrow.

I'm not sure what's going on with RemX. But when I was leaving work I noticed they texted me about openings. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or them just being snarky.

Tang seems to be doing OK. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later. I just put out the second bowl of can food for Tabby.

I hope today has been a good day for you and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

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

I'm glad you received information yesterday from Remx about job referrals instead of having to wait until next week to begin the process. Once again, I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that this process will go smoothly for you and that you'll receive an assignment that will be a good one for you. Please let us know how things go.

Fired up the lap top to check on emails. In a few minutes I'll need to finish getting ready for my infusion appointment but wanted to check in with you to see how things are going. Sweet Buster is here with me as I'm writing to you. He's in the laundry basket taking a nap at the moment.

Tracy, as always it's a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 70-ish T G I F greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I hope yesterday was a decent day for you and Anne at work, and that your prospects for another assignment at your current location are looking good. Please let us know how things are going.

The infusion went okay yesterday but I was tired after I got home. Sweet Buster was still in the laundry basket taking a nap when I left so I left the inside door open so that he could go out through the storm door if he wanted to before I got back. When I did get back he was on the doorstep to greet me and came inside with me. He must have sensed I needed to rest because he left a little earlier than usual and didn't return for the remainder of the late afternoon. He is here with me as I'm writing to you taking a nap in the laundry basket. He is such a sweetheart.

Tracy, thank you so much for sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep Tux Jr, Little Tux, White Cat, Bobtail, Little Gray, Little Bit, Tweak, Princess, Dulcinea, Butters, Fluffy, Ferdinand, Socks, Tabby, and all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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 warm (84) greetings to you. I hope you are well. Glad to hear Buster paid you visits and hope he and Bonnie are doing OK.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday but it was a traumatic day. After Anne dropped me off at work, she called me panicked and crying about a dying kitten in the parking lot. She rushed him/her to Metro Animal Control but it was too late sad.gif Then when she got back from there and then came to work, she heard another kitten crying from her engine area. We think they both lost their mommy and came around here for the food we leave out then got up into the engine/wheel well area. Our theory is the one kitten got knocked loose when she went over a speed bump in our lot and it was head trauma sad.gif The amazing thing is the other kitten held on all that time with all those trips. With my and her dad and co-worker's help we freed the kitten and she took him home and locked him in the upstairs bathroom. Her boss was kind enough to let her leave with me at 6:00 (as long as she came back) to take him to Metro. I had to put on gloves to capture him in the tub as he jumped all the way up to the faucet blink.gif He's been put into the adoption system and Anne wrote down his number and we are keeping tabs on him. If he checks out healthy enough, we are going to adopt him and name him Tyler.

On the work front, I emailed the contact at RemX I was given this morning saying this was my last day on the assignment. When I got home she'd replied asking my availability for shifts and location. So keeping my fingers crossed.

Tang is well. He's has his supper and shot and will get his treats later. Tabby's also had her first round of can food and I just put out the other. I hope you have had a good day and that you will have a pleasant evening in the company of your precious fur-ever angels. Blessings.

Hi, Tracy, sunny humid 80-ish Caturday greetings to you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne. I hope this finds each of you doing well and in good spirits.

I'm so oooooooo sorry about the loss of the little kitten. I do know how saddened your hearts are. The good news is that with a team effort the other little kitten was able to be saved and is now receiving the medical care he needs to get strong so that he can join your family. Will you and Anne be able to visit him while he's at Metro / adoption system? Please let us know how he's doing. And it is good news that you have acknowledgement from your Remx contact to begin your new placement process. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you'll get a new assignment soon at your current location. Please let us know how things go.

Thought I would try to take a walk this morning but as I was getting ready to leave sweet Buster came. If I had tried to go on my walk he would have followed me, and that is a definite not good idea. So instead I have been keeping him company while he enjoys sweet slumbers in the laundry basket. Abigail's mom came to ask me if I would check on Abigail around 5 p.m. or so because she and her husband were going to spend time with their son and family this afternoon and evening who are visiting their daughter in law's parents who live at the lake. Their son and his family live at VA Beach so they were here this week while Dorian was going up the coast. I told her it would be a pleasure to check on their sweet girl. They should be home a little after 8 p.m. or so.

Tracy, it's always a blessing sharing your news that your precious prince Tang is doing well. I hope today is treating you, your precious prince Tang, and Anne kindly, and I continue to keep all the community waifs in my thoughts and prayers that they are safe, well, and comfortable in the summer temperatures. I hope you, your precious boy, and Anne can have blissful, peaceful, cozy moments 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 and Anne. Please know you, your precious boy, and Anne 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 (74) Caturday greetings to you. I hope you are doing well. Sorry your walk was cancelled but I'm sure Buster's company made up for it.

Anne has the kitten's system number and has been following his progress online. She tired calling the adoption house today but kept getting messages they were closed even though the web said said they were open. I asked her to email me the info so I could follow him too. We are doing everything to make sure we can bring him home as we believe this all happened for a reason.

Today we took in the art fair by the Ohio river waterfront park. Parking was a nightmare, but we finally found a lot that wasn't full yet. That's the problem with these things: It's only been going on 3 years, but once the "hipsters" get wind and decided they have "discovered" it, it goes downhill in terms of crowds. It was a good art fair and there were plenty of puppers there though.

From there we went to Walmart for some staples and home. Tang is doing well. He's had his supper and shot and will get his treats later. We've been talking to him about the prospect of a little brother and he seems intrigued. He sure seemed worried about the little guy in the bathroom yesterday. I put the food out for Tabby and Socks but have nor seen either of them yet. I hope they;re OK.

I hope you have had a good day (and that Abigail was doing OK) and that you will have a pleasant evening watched over by your beloved fur-ever angels. Blessings.
