Sweedish Fish

Hi all. I've moved since I was last on here. Early retirement and palm trees now. 🙂 Because I've taken the SS, I can only work part-time (or make a certain amount of money before the government takes it. I decided that I wanted easy and do something that would bring me happiness. Enter doggy daycare job. Oh my god in heaven. As much as I loved all of the dogs, it was killin me. 90% cleaning, mopping, picking up poop, hauling buckets, vacuuming, crates, moving heavy playground equipment and stopping skuffles with some big ass dogs. 10% playing with them and horrible pay. I could not take it. Moving on....

My favorite memory of a dog. I was in Washington DC. Underground Train station. Not too long after 911. Here comes this policeman with a giant German Sheperd. Suddenly the dog dives into a trash can. Everyone backed up, scared. A bomb? No, the pup comes up with a sandwich that someone had thown away.

This is why you have to be careful about welcoming an African Grey into you life. RIP, my pep pep.. She was scary good. Not her, but close

Way to go Gramto. Keep on keeping on.

My Harleycat is still stoned with herbal drops No more bloodshed and eating dosed tunafish and reg food. But she still punches the air at times. Not me anymore.

Update. Just found her in the toilet again. Big grey cat in the toilet. Shocking to see. I have no idea as to why she was in there. She has plenty of food, water and treats. Got her to lay down again. WTF I think I need to call a Vet again.

I spent the night with soothing cat videos again. Yes, they are out there. For cats. Seems they like piano music. ? I see her ears twiching and enjoy? Who knew? 4 hour long utubes just for cats to listen to. Woke up to the bird one. Chirping birds hopping around. Harley still medicated with the herbal drops for stress. Letting me touch and pet now. Rolling and scratching the rug instead of me. 🙂 More big loving eyes then the lizard kill ones. Still wary of the tail twitch. This Harley cat boxing her little fists in air. eeek. I did not know that cats were prizefighters. She will win.

Ah look at his sweet face!

Yeah, harleycat is stoned with droplets of stress meds.

Stress meds came. It says 4 drops in water. Hell, she was creeping around again and said, "cmere kits" and cleaned her eyes and put 2 drops in her mouth. Hope she sleeps. She was not happy with that whole thing. Hope she is ok It's herbal so no real meds? Maybe I will make a cup of tea and dump the whole thing in there 🙂

Thank you. I will look. But that lovely man refused to marry again, as his wife had died long before I met him. As much as we loved each other. Would not do it. it's maddening all the phone calls I must make. But will. Again, thank you.

I have an appt next month with Social Security to schedule early retirement. I really don't know what that is going to mean, or do. But honest to God, Can't work anymore. I can't even fathom it. No way. I've been working as a mechanical draftsperson since I was 17 years old. Now with my loss of husband. Well fuck it. Does anyone know or have advice? I am 3 years shy of ret. age sorry for cursing, but seems all I can do these days.

I had pretzels (and I hate pretzels) could manage a few. And they were cinnamon sugar coated to make it worse. When did I buy those? And why? But did post a couple of happy t'gving funny things to family far away?? Tried to order more soup, but alas all things closed. Next year better. Getting really really tired of this grieving and sleeping stuff.
