Quenching the Thirst

 I have seriously had a craving for kittens lately. 

Weird I know. 

There is just something about them. So, to quench my thirst and not increase my herd of cats - I contacted the local Humane Society and signed up to be a 'Kitty Foster Mum'. I got the email yesterday that I'm approved!!

 So cool, I get to help baby kitties until they find their hopefully FOREVER homes and not have an over population of CATS at my house.  

It's the purrfect solution!
And it HELPS the Humane Society.

Not to be distracted by life.... 

If you or your 'significant other' have any kind of Union job. Before you retire - check with your rep! Papa and I have been trying to figure out what to do. As he is of age to retire. His health is preventing him from working a full 40 hour week; and because of his health - the medical coverage is critical. His rep has been so helpful not just in information, advice and direction.... but reassurance for Papa. 

We have 5 Doctor appointments coming up in the next few weeks for him. {The roller coaster has left the station and the ride has begun.} We will hopefully learn a lot about what is wrong, how to fix it and what is to come. He missed work again yesterday. The bleeding has gotten much worse. He really shouldn't be working. SO hoping one of these doctors can help.



Our local events are starting up for the summer. I had to back out on the larger 2 day events and reschedule so that we weren't doing them every weekend. {The business will have to grow a little slower, but steady } I think the shorter timed one day events will be enough for him.  He gets fatigued really easily, I don't say anything when so much doesn't get done. 

The shopping links to my favorite companies have helped the paypal account grow a bit. Thank you to all who have went shopping. I'm sure your going to love what you ordered, I only have links to my favorite places - and Amazon of course. Remember sometimes when you go through the affiliate links {like mine} there are special buys and discounts that you only get in the affiliate links. 

If there is an opportunity to host a party or gathering, that means there is an opportunity to get more for less and something for free. Now days, most people option the catalog/online party feature. That way they don't have to do much except share a catalog and link for friends to shop, so  they can earn the freebies. 

My horse is doing well, I wanted to get her a partner this spring, but those plans got put off due to the situations going on. I let her know it would be a while with just her. She's getting more attention and the grandkids have been riding more so that helps. 

No cigarette for about 36 hours now...this is the longest stretch I've done this time around. Yep, I've quit a few times and went back a few more. . . Determined this time. Doctor told me it usually takes a person about 8 trys to finally quit for good. Don't know what number this is for me, I just hope it's the last number......

Until next time ~

Don't Give up Yet

 

It can get dark. It can get cold. It can get lonely. It can feel hopeless. 

It might look impossible, It might look like there is no answers, It might look like there is no way out. It might look like you've reached the end.

It feels like you just can't go another minute ~ 

But wait.

Take a deep breathe.

And Wait.

Don't give up - it gets better.

More often than not, just wait one more day.
