Hi Ladies,
Sorry it’s been awhile since I was on here. I haven’t read all the posts yet but I do have a few things to ask.
Is Papi out of the hospital yet? I heard it was a case of mistaken identity. Some guy he was with & wearing similar clothing was the intended victim; they’ve arrested several suspects in the case.
I saw in one of the posts you were talking about towels. Did I miss something? Just wondering.
Did you see the QF show the other day? So many things I want, so little $$$!!!
We’ve been having some chilly weather out here. Down into the 60s. But we’re due to warm up thru next week, more normal temps, the 70s. Of course the running joke here is that summer doesn’t begin till after the 4th of July. And we don’t tan, we rust.
On the news they say we have 2 different computer models for our summer. One is hot & dry, & the European model says the opposite, wet & cooler than normal. We shall see.
Who belongs to those adorable Frenchies? They are cute.
Well, that’s all I have for tonight.
take care

Hi Sue,
That was a very sweet post you sent me on FB. Thank you for your kindness. Today marks one month ago I lost her. I have an appointment with the psychologist & regular Dr. this afternoon. I didn’t plan it that way, it just worked out that way.
Thank you again for thinking of me.

Hi Colleen,
Congratulations on the Blues win of the cup!!! I bet all of St. Louis is partying tonight. Poor Adele, her Bruins lost. Well they can’t have everything.

Congratulations again!!

Hi Ladies,
Well, did you hear me last night? I was sooooooooooo mad I could’ve chewed nails!! I wrote out a post with pics & sent it. Or so I thought. It disappeared & had to sign back in!! I shut down for the night after that.

So I’m back, & we’re in the middle of a record breaking heatwave. It was 95 yesterday & is in the 90s at noon today. My poor little AC can’t keep up with the heat. It’s supposed to cool off tomorrow. That’s the one good thing, we don’t have days or weeks of blistering hot days. IT’s coming up from Ca. so the humidity is like 20-30% or less when it gets this hot.
If the apt gets too hot I can go down to the community room where they have built in AC & is down right chilly. And they said there’d be bottled water available. I’ve been eating & snacking of cold chicken, mac. salad, anything cold. Definitely NOT cooking, not even microwaving.
As hot as it is the rivers & streams aren’t warm yet. They’re warning people to be careful not to go out too far as the currents are still running fast & the water is still ice cold. We get a lot of drownings this time of yr because people think the water is warmer than it really is & when they hit the cold water it takes their breath away, literally. We’re not Fl. or the Gulf of Mexico bathtub warm.
I haven’t checked into Leeloo yet. I just haven’t been able to muster up the courage to bring in a new kitty. I know it’s coming up on a month since I lost Jewell, but I can still feel her here. Does that make sense? I see her sitting on the rug in front of me or coming in from the bedroom. It’s just too raw yet. I want to thank all of you for your support in all of this. It means a lot to me.

Adele, I wasn’t sure who Big Papi was until I heard he was a former Red Sox player. I’m sorry he was shot. I hope they caught the perp who did it. Did they say what the motive was for it? Who does that?
I was hoping the Raptors would beat Golden State & it’d be over with. Pro football starts in Aug, & baseball won’t even be in the playoffs yet for the World Series!! Waaay too much over lapping.
I went to a graduation/birthday party with Diane Sunday afternoon. I hadn’t seen the families in yrs & some of the kids I’d never met before. The oldest boy graduated high school last Sat. & the first time I saw him he was less than 6 months old. It was like getting reacquainted with them. I had a really good time. I took care of Diane & Joane’s mother Arline for over 6 yrs. It was Joane’s grandkids’ birthdays, so they combined the 2 occasions.
Well, I think that’s all for now.
take care

sorry I’m a day or two late with the Normandy remembrance. We still have a few survivors from WWII. Not for long tho, I’m afraid.
GOD BLESS THEM EVERY ONE!!! Thank you one & all for your service.

Hi Ladies,
Well, I think I got FB back to normal. I changed my password a couple of times, so I’ll be lucky if I remember it. I was able to track down all my pics, & videos. I was upset I couldn’t find the vids I saved from my newsfeed. I’m not sure if Messenger is fixed but at least I have my friends back. It told me to “invite” my friends or request my friends that’s why you all got requests from me again. Sorry.
Oh Colleen, the game I was referring to is the finals of the NBA basketball season. IT’s pretty late for them to be finishing up. They usually are over by this time.
I did laundry today. The laundry room is downstairs so I got to see & hold 2 kitties today. One was the cat that guy offered to let me ‘borrow’ her if I wanted to. He was leaving to go downstairs so he let me in his apt, & handed his cat to me. She’s HUGE!!! A total opposite of Jewell. She must weigh 10-15 lbs if not more. she’s a tabby, has no name, & wasn’t too thrilled I was holding her. She jumped down & started rolling around, wanting belly rubs. She has a big belly to rub too! LOL. The guy across the hall also has a kitty & she’s small like Jewell, but is black. He let me hold her too. And I broke down in tears as I held her.
My neighbor down the hall saw me outside yesterday, & he stopped me to offer his condolences about Jewell. He said he didn’t know if I believe in prayer & said I was in his over this.
Some people are of the opinion I should get another kitty right away. I’m conflicted about it. In some ways I see their point, but I’d feel I would be disrespecting Jewell, getting one this soon. I know it’s up to me.
Well, today was the Grand Floral Parade wrapping up the Rose festival for this yr. The ships will be leaving Monday AM tying up the bridges during the am commute. Glad I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Well, I’ll sign off for now.
Have a great Sunday.

Hi Ladies,
It hasn’t been a good day for me. I went to take a nap & I started crying & couldn’t stop. I do this off & on during the week. I went to the psychologist yesterday. I’d written a bunch of things down & showed it to him. It was titled “No More…. “. I put down all the things that I won’t be doing anymore, & she won’t be doing anymore. Ending with “no more anything”….Just emptiness, loneliness, & pain.” He gave me some names of pet loss support groups in the area. I’ll give em a call & check it out. Can’t hurt.
I hope everyone is feeling better now. No more aches & pains, colds, coughs.
I’ll be watching the Golden State/Toronto Raptors game tonight. I heard one of the GS players say except for the state of Ca. the rest of the country is hoping Toronto will knock us off the pedestal.. all I have to say is TRUE!!! I’m rooting for the Raptors.
We’ve got rain today, even SNOW in the mts. Then in 2 days we’ll be heading into the upper 80s, even 90s next week!!!! Weather whiplash!!
Well, I think I’ve bored you enough for today.
Have a great weekend!

Hey girls,
I don’t know what happened today but I had an awful time with Messenger & FB today. I just got it fixed & logged into just awhile ago. They shut me down earlier in the day. Why, I have NO Clue!!! If it was Putin, he won’t get any state secrets outta me!!! Just a bunch of pics of Jewell!!
Will post again tomorrow.
