Read down to my Good News

Had a rough go of it starting at the end of August to towards the end of September. My mom collapsed at the doctors office. Duane and I went up to take care of her. I spent 11 days pretty much taking care of her 24/7 at a friends house while Duane was getting his house ready for us to move to. After we all got there, lets just say I will not soon put myself into that kind of situation again. 


After I got home it took me about a week to rest up and get in the swing of my schedule again. I have let the apartment go a little bit, but it's not to bad. I have several projects waiting for me to get to. However I have gotten some projects done. The big one being getting my closet cleaned up and organized. I also took up the old, filthy rug up and replaced it with a nice clean one. I found my good curtains while I was doing the closet. They have been washed, but need to hang on the clothes line a bit longer then ironed.


But my biggest news is that yesterday I got a dog. She is a 14 year old Long hair Chihuahua who I have named Kateri. She's so overweight she waddles. Every time I sit down to eat she comes expecting me to share my dinner with her. Well she will get over that sooner or later. I bought her some Beneful Healthy Weight. She isn't happy about it but she has eaten some of it. Not a lot, but she is starting to get the idea. I am also making her walk (waddle) some. That will increase as she is able. 


She is starting to get use to me and trusts me enough to sleep up here on the bed with me. She started barking more this afternoon. I haven't figured out all her clues yet but we will get there.
