OMC It’s Caturday

OMC Weez finally got ow innewnets back. It wuz like livin’ in da dawk ages wound here wiffout it. MOL At least dat’s what mommy scweamed to da lady when hers told her dat nopawdy kuld come out to fix it fur a kupple days. MOL  Yous shulda seen her. She wuz standin’ outside on da sidewalk purropped up on da rails in da dawk wiff da new neighbor hollewin’ ’bout da snake and twyin’ to get a signal on da cell fone. Weez hav Magic Jack, so no innewnets, no fone. Anyways, there mommy stood twyin’ to get sumpawdy out to fix da net and not get eaten by whatevew kinda snake wuz out there in da dawkness and hers wuz not a happy camper.

They finally came ovew and fixed us up tho’ and while standin’ there talkin’ to mommy hims fone, located in hims shirt pawcket,  flashed. Well mommy didn’t hav on hers makeup, or hers hair fixed and so hers panicked. “Did you just take a photo of me?” she asked. Hims laffed and sed, “Yep, I take pictures of all my clients.” Then hims sed, “No, it flashes to let me know I have a new message. It’s the latest iphone.” Mommy looked at it and sed, “OMC that thing is huge.” Hims sed, “Yeah, I call it my mini mini ipad. It’s 5 inches, so it’s purretty close to the mini.”  After hims left, mommy looked at hers itty bitty old fashioned cell fone and sed, “Now that’s a phone even us old gals can see.” And hers laffed.  So innewnet back on what did mommy do?  Did hers get on da puter and check meez blog or sis Lexi’s Facebook page or twitter, or even emails? No, she didn’t do nuffin’, but sit back down in da chair and welax.  Guess meez mommy needed a day off.  So purrlease furgiv us, weez will be wound to visit wiff yous all shortly. Now fur a little Caturday Art wiff Athena.

Workin’ Through the Difficulties pt. 2

Well first me wants to pawlogize fur not makin’ it to all of yous blogs. Da neighbor let us borrow hers innewnet connection to do sum visitin’ and commentin’ yesfurday, and hers sed weez kuld use it to send out this posty. Fankfully da net wepairman will be here sumtime today to get us back up and runnin’. Altho’ mommy’s not a happy camper. They make what they call open pointments. Dat means they kuld come anytime tween 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.. Now’s one of those times dat mommy be happy hers found da Windows Live Writer so we can get da posty weady to publish even wiffout da innewnet. So anyways, we stawted yesfurday tellin’ ya’ how we worked duwin’ da last foo mumffs wiffout da use of the wheelchair. Purrlease member, weez not tellin’ this stowwy fur pity or fur anypawdy to feel sowwy fur mommy, but to show how we adjust. And obviously weez not hav fotos of any of this so weez just addin’ sum cute sleepy fotos fur yous to look at. And yes, life is much better when fings awe nowmal and weez hav da use of da wheelchair like now, but weez still work and life still goes on wiffout it. So, let’s get back to ow stowwy now.

Me left off wiff mommy leanin’ on da vanity to bwush hers teef and sis Lexi sittin’ close by. Well me didn’t wanna be left out so me jumped up on da udder side of da vanity next to mommy too. Wiff a mouff full of bubbles mommy looked down at me and Lexi and smiled. What? Me knows a smile when me sees it. Mommy smiled. After all da business wuz dun in da pawdee box room it wuz time to head to da kitchen and fix us bwekky and mommy sum coffee. Dat’s what we do evewy meownin’. So Lexi jumped down to da toilet and sat there, and mommy stawted feelin’ hers way back down til she wuz sittin’ on da floor again. Sis Lexi jumped down and so did me. Sissy went on in fwunt of mommy and mommy stawted pullin’ hers selff along da floor and down da hall. Sissy moved a kupple toys outta da way and went on into da dinin’ room. When mommy and me followin’ close behind got there, sissy wuz alweady sittin’ in da wheelchair dat wemained pawked by da table where it had chawged da day of da flood. Mommy pulled hers selff ovew to da chair and then used it to pull hers selff up. Hers still kuldn’t use da chair cuz fings had been moved wound while twyin’ to clean up da water and there wuz no space fur da chair to move. And this is da way it stayed fur most of da past kupple mumffs.

Once up, mommy maneuvered over to da cabinet and sissy stood close by her. So me followed hers lead and stood on da udder side of mommy.  Our bwekky plates awe washed aftew each meal and set on da countertop, so they wuz weady, and mommy pulled open a drawer wiff one hand and kep hers balance against da cabinet wiff da udder. Mommy fixed ow plates and then put sissy’s on da table and then got my plate and put it on hers head, and then down to da floor she went again. She pulled hers self to da livin’ room where me eats, and put meez plate down on meez mat. In da livin’ room yous ask? Well since me came to liv here wiff mommy me has always wanted to eat wight acwoss fwum mommy so me kuld watch hers while me ate at da same time. Me still duz dat today. Anyways, aftew hers set me plate down she pulled hers selff up into a sittin’ position and turned on da puter to check sum emails. Member, at this time da sittin’ chair had bwoke so hers wuz sittin’ on da floor. Ifin hers had had a chair she wulda pulled hers selff up and sat in it. And then hers sits and waits fur hers legs to kick in. Once they do/did she wuld go and make hers a cup of coffee and twy to welax and read and reply to emails and da blog or facebook. So, this wuz how we managed ow meownins duwin’ all da mess of da last foo mumffs.

We awe glad to be back in a dwy home where we can use da wheelchair again. Wiff da use of da wheelchair it means dat mommy dusn’t hav to fall off da bed and crawl wound on da floor. It means dat hers can hav a cup of coffee wight aftew givin’ Lexi and me ow bwekky. And it means dat hers not hav to carry meez plate on her head. MOL And it also means dat hers legs stawt functionin’ quicker. Once mommy stawts dwinkin’ hers coffee hers adwenaline stawts pumpin’ as duz da blood flow, and dat’s what “thaws” hers out quicker. And we awe all so fankful dat mommy has a sittin’ chair to “thaw out” in now.

Weez hope yous enjoyed or at least found innewestin’ how weez worked and purrformed ow duties while fings wuz stwained wound ow house. Pawt of ow twainin’ is learnin’ to adapt to change and diffewent situations. Mommy sez we awe purrfect and dat she luvs us vewy much. Because of ow twainin and abilities mommy can continue to liv independently. Altho’ wiff da exception of da meownins and mommys syncope (passing out) hers can liv a purrfectly nowmal life. Once hers body comes back to life in da meownins she duz purretty good on her own. Suwe she loses her balance and can’t feel her extwemeties a lot and tolewates an enormous amount of pain, but she looks like most of you. And feels vewy blest to hav each new day.

Weez also wanna wemind evewypawdy ‘bout da fundwaiser. Altho’ weez got mommy’s chair weez still need stairs fur sis Lexi and a new dwy mattress fur da bed. Ifin yous wuld like to check it out, yous can do so here. We also wanna Fank yous all fur donatin’ and shawin’. weez purreciate you all mowe than you will evew know.

Till da nex time………Be Blest!!!

Mommy’s No Ballerina

OMC What a day weez hav had. Me guesses me shuld stawt wiff last night. Dat’s when it all began. Well as you all know sis Lexi and me sleep in da bed wiff mommy evewy night, and mommy actually carries us to bed. It’s purrawly ow most favowit time of day. Mommy turns off da puter and teevee and tells us it’s time fur night night and then picks us up and carries us to da pawdee box room. Weez all do sum business and usually sis Lexi heads fur da bed first. Hers duz hers pacin’ and twyin’ to jump up on da bed fing and then mommy picks hers up and helps her onto da bed. Hers just can’t jump dat high anymowe. Come on hers be 15 years old. Dat’s why weez askin’ fur help raisin’ gween papers to get hers a set of stairs. (da only fing weez askin’ fur dat didn’t get wuined in da floods cuz weez not hav any to begin wiff) At sum point she’s gotta stawt havin’ sum kinda purrawlems, wight? Anyways mommy helps hers up to da bed and then comes back to da pawdee box room and picks me up and carries me to bed.

0dw Dezi layin on floor wistfully

Once weez all in da bed weez say ow purrayers and fank God fur all da blessings Hims has bestowed on us and then fank Hims fur ow furiends and asks Him to keep a hand on you all and bless you and meet yous needs. Then mommy lays down and Lexi and me stawt in purrin’ and massagin’ mommy to sleep. So last night stawted out da same as any udder night. Mommy turned off da teevee and puter and told us it wuz time to go night night, and then picked me up. Evewy once in a while Lexi will walk to da back by hers selff, and last night wuz one of those nights. So Lexi headed for the pawdee box room and mommy picked me up. Then she turned out da lights and we headed toward da back of da house.

0dw Lexi on bed

Mommy had been goin’ fwu hers magazines and catalogs earlier in da day, and also puttin’ ow catit twack toys back togedder. (weez just luv ow catit twacks) Sum of yous hav been followin’ us long enuff to know meez mommy’s no ballewina, and hers has sum serious nerve damage dat makes hers not always be able to feel hers extwemeties (arms, legs, hands and feet). So anyways, hers picked me up and pulled da little switch on ow new fan/light fixture and turned to walk down da hall. And just then hers lost hers balance. OMC It wuz so skeery. Mommy had put hers foot on one of those slick magazines and it stawted movin’ under da weight of da two of us. Well mommy held me tight and stawted weachin’ out wiff hers furee hand. It all happened so fast and afur weez knew it, mommy and me wuz down. Me wuz close to mommy’’s heart but so skeered meez tinkled a little, and mommy banged hers head. She also got scwatched up a bit.(not meez claws) But hers got up and nevew once let me go. Sis Lexi had weturned and stawted lickin’ mommy’s booboos and then we all went to da back; and eventually went to sleep.

0dw Dezi n Lexi bed praying

When mommy woke up today she realized how much damage she did. Hers legs and feet wuz all swelled up and hurtin’, and she had bruises up one side and down da udder. Da hand she used to bwace ow impact is weally sore and typin’is vewy hawd fur hers. So weez will be takin’ it easy and makin’ weally short comments till hers hand gets all better. There wuz nuffin’ weez kulda dun to stop it, but weez suwe did wish weez kulda. Weez gave mommy extwa massages last night and will again tonight. Cuz as me sed, Mommy’s no ballewina. MOL

Weez seem to hav hit a stalemate and nopawdy be givin’ anyfin’. Weez do hope weez reach da goal but eevew way weez be totaly blessed.

Blest Sunday

Well here it is Blest Sunday again. This year has just gotten away fwum us and is almost ovew. While dat might not mean vewy much to yous, it’s vewy impurrtant fur us. It mawks a weal milestone in ow lives. See just a little ovew a year ago now we got ow vewy first catputer. Mommy knew nuffin’ ‘bout ‘em but most of ow bills and bankin’ had swiched ovew and wuz gunna stawt chawgin’ us a mumffly fee ifin weez didn’t jump on da ‘puter bandwagon. Well of course weez didn’t hav da munny fur no [uter, but mommy continued to look wound. Hers finally found a puter weez kuld buy and ordered it. It wusn’t long afur weez had it in ow house, and mommy began to twy to figger out what to do wiff it.

000dw Dezi walkin' on air

Da local community college has a bwanch here in ow town and they offer clases fur da seniors here fur furee. Well mommy purromptly signed up fur a Facebook class. Alwight even livin’ off da gwid and under a rock weez had heard of Facebook. Da first class mommy learned hers wuz gunna hav to cweate a Facebook account. WTC (what the cat) Mommy bein’ a purrivate purrsun and a single lady livin’ alone hers ‘cided wight away hers didn’t want hers foto and name all ovew da net, so hers cweated sed Facebook account under Lexi and meez name. And then hers went about liking a foo sites and so on. Da nex fing hers knew she wuz bein’ asked ifin weez, sis Lexi and me; had a page. It took ‘bout 3 weeks, afur hers figgered out what to do to cweate us a page, but soon nuff hers got it up and began to tell ow stowwy. And what followed wuz beyond ow wildest dweams or expectations.

 000dw Lexi lookin' sweetly

Peeps stawted followin’ ow stowwy and commentin’ and messagin’ us and weez made furiends. Now meez knows yous all know dat’s what Facebook calls da peeps dat follow yous, but weez mean “Weal Furiends.” Peeps dat weally cawed ‘bout us and dat luvved us as much as we luvved them. Weez kuldn’t wait evewyday to connect wiff ‘em, and shawe in their joys and sowwows and hav them do da same. Afur long those same furiends became pawt of ow framly. And weez don’t know what we wuld do wiffout ‘em. And then a foo mowe mumffs down da road and weez had a blog and even mowe furiends. And yous know what? Y’all hav become pawt of ow framly too. Weez awe so blest.

Weez hav come so faw in a year it’s kinda skeery. We can’t magine ow lives now wiff out yous all in it. And weez not want too. Yous know when we stawted out mommy didn’t know nuffin’ bout editing fotos much less usin’ foto apps or online photoshoppin’. And now weez pawticipate in a Caturday Art Blog Hop. When weez stawted mommy didn’t know nuffin’ ‘bout makin’ videos, and now weez hav ow own YouTube channel. When meez stawted bloggin’ mommy didn’t even know how to let me leave a comment fur meez oldest and dearest bloggin’ furiend Timmy Tomcat (hims blog wuz on a diffewent furmat). It wuz Timmy dat got us into bloggin’ in da first place and now weez kuldn’t even comment on hims posties.

Well dat’s all behind us now and weez can comment on any blog anywhere. And weez hav accounts wiff Twitter, Pinterest, Flickr, Tumblr (All under da name Deziz World), of course Facebook and ow newest and most undeveloped, Instagram. Can yous believ it?

And nun of this wulda evew happened ifin weez hadn’t got a catputer. Weez learn new fings evewyday, and just last night mommy learned how to use a fumm dwive. Can yous believ it? Afur yous go gettin’ all ‘cited ‘bout mommy gettin’ smawt, hers kuldn’t hav dun it wiff out help fwum Mr. Pete, Timmy’s daddy. Hims walked mommy fwu what to do and now hers a fumm dwive natuwal. (It’s okay Miss Tricia hav yous a good laff just don’t spit out da coffee). Fur those of yous wunnewin’ dat’s Miss Tricia of da Katnip Lounge. She’s way cool and gets a weal kick outta me sayin’ fumms. Most of yous know hers and da lounge but ifin any of yous not know ‘em yet, head on ovew, those cats got a gweat set up there in da desert.

Anyways, me sed all dat to show yous just how blest weez weally awe. Blest Sunday is ow favowit posty to make. We know it has vewy little to do wiff us bein’ service cats or ow work or play, but it’s a time to weflect on da good in ow lives.
