Meow-llo Dear furiends, what a week we’ve had. It started out with ants invadin’ our bathroom. Can you believe it?
It wasn’t the furst time sissy. ‘Member a while back when we had ants unner the washin’ machine?
Yeah Raena, but those were teeny ants, these were the big red stingin’ ones. Mommy furst nnoticed ‘em while she was…well, let’s just say she wasn’t in a pawsition to do anythin’ ‘bout ‘em the minute she saw ‘em. Then you went and sat on ‘em. Mommy says little critters like ants get stuck to our furs and hitch a ride with us to her lap.
Well sissy, I’s don’t let ‘em hitch a ride on purrpuss. I’s would never want anythin’ to hurt mommy. But Kittens, there was just so many of ‘em. Mommy finally got free to spray poison and kill those little stingers. ‘Course, she furgot to turn on the fan and ended up suckin’ in some of that poison herself.
Yeah Raena, not cool. Mommy must’ve coughed fur hours afterwards. Altho’ she did figger out where the ants were comin’ from and called the manager to get some caulk so she could caulk ‘round the toilet. And fankfully, the only thing crawlin’ in from unner there was ants. We could’a had a bathroom full of scorpions. So, believe it or not, we feel Blest that ants were all we had to deal with.
So true sissy. ‘Course, as ya’ know, we rarely ketch a break. Later that evenin’ we were all sittin’ ‘round just relaxin’ when suddenly the lights overhead exploded. It was crazy!!! Glass went flyin’ everywhere. And then…we were left in the dark. Mommy got a flashlight and made sure we didn’t get cut up and did her bestest to clean up the glass. When she finally got the metal pawrt of the bulb unscrewed she discovered that these weren’t the typical size light bulbs we had been told we’d have.
Yeah Raena, but since it was after office hours, mommy had to wait till the next day to call the manager and repurrt the explosion and see ‘bout new bulbs. Mommy was shocked when the manager told her that several peeps have had issues with exploding light bulbs from the new fixtures. Seems a bit dangerous to us. ‘Specially with a bunch of old folks and disabled peeps. Then she told mommy we had to buy these specialty bulbs ourselves. Hmmmmmm Another new expense on us from this so called good fur us ‘pawrtment rehab.
Yeah sissy, in all their rehabbin’, they furgot to plant mommy a money tree. There’s only one store in town that carries the kind of bulb we need and it costs $11.00 purr bulb. That’d be $33.00 to get the lights back on. There’s 3 bulbs in the fixture and they all exploded at the same time. Mommy said we were just gonna have to get used to livin’ in the dark. But, fanks to awnty Amanda who sent us new bulbs, we can see again. I’s gotta tell ya’, it sure was dark without lights.
Oh Raena, we are so grateful fur the light bulbs. Meowin’ of fank yous, we wanna say a meowsy big fank you to awnty Susan fur the green papers.
Sissy, we are so Blest. Mine’s heart just swells up with so much luvs when I’s think ‘bout all our furiends. Kittens!!! I’s just luvs them soooooooo much.
Me too Raena, me too. Unfurtunately, since we were in the dark fur the last few days mommy didn’t get much of what she had planned to do, done. So, looks like we’re in fur a busy week ahead.
I’s purrsonally like helpin’ mommy with the busies, sissy. Mommy says I’s the bestest snoopervisor ever. Anyways, I’s gonna go link us up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies, and then help mommy with the laundry. I’s almost made it behind the washer last night.
You might wanna stay away from behind the washer Raena. Me’s sis Lexi got back there a few times, and let’s just say, she wasn’t happy ‘bout it once she did. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Thank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.
Till the next time…………………………………………….Be Blest!!!

Exploding lights? That’s crazy! They should replace them before someone gets hurt! $11 per bulb? Are they made of gold? Given that residents are on fixed incomes, that’s just ridiculous.

That sounds like an awful week. I’m glad you found the source of the ants. Those things are nasty.
