We got to bed at Many a.m. and actually zzz'd almost until the alarm, imagine that man.

Hip felt as good as it recently has, boon man.

 

Poor Mama T-B. aysheep about being unable to do anything for herself or otherwise, sigh man.

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. (with Mini-B.) went there (planned visit) and spoon-fed Mama T-B. her lunch, blessing man.

 

Lunch was onecan of Progresso soup*, ingest we man.

     *bought at an earlier ES, financially savvy we man

 

Rescheduled Fizzicle Therapy for today, at longest last man.

FT chica says that there's probably spinal involvement with the hip, oh joy man.

She visits a doc who does in-office radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of facets, saves time and $ man.

We must pursue this if we can arrange for coverage of Mama T-B., si man.

FT session successful, reliefed we man.

 

Went to favorite large thrift store, half-price day man.

It was busy but not overly mobbed, good man.

We got the following, see man:

 -- pants for Uncle T-B., senior he man;

 -- 2 pants + 2 Many-ring binders for Mini-B., wee man;

 -- 2 pants + 2 underwears for us, score we man.

An attempted siesta was hosed by a call from Mama T-B., mandatory to answer we man.

 

We looked fruitlessly for a small item that a NextDoor buyer might want, where the dickens is it man.

Miu energetically attacked her dangly-pole when we waved it around, good huntress miu man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

We must errand and probably visit Mama T-B. on Tuesday, obligated we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

We moved Kid1 into university residence in Alberta last Sunday.  She was in rough shape, dealing with significant and severe GI issues.  I nearly didn't get on the plane to come home.  Her father did finally take her to the clinic and they got her fixed up...temporarily.  She had another attack on Tuesday last week and ended up having to miss some of the orientation stuff she really should have been a part of.  Things seem to have settled somewhat, but she is on a lot of medications and has been in contact with her GI here in TX to make sure everything sounds kosher.  

 

We returned Tuesday, only to head to the vet on Wednesday with our oldest cat.  She had suffered with kidney disease for a couple of years now, but she was in full renal failure and I had to make the heart wrenchingly correct choice to end her suffering and help her across the rainbow bridge.  She was my black n tan Siamese with giant marble blue eyes that purred like a Mack truck.  I was her chosen person and we really were besties.  I'm missing her purry head butts for pets and insistence on offering love bites when she wasn't being sufficiently worshiped. 

 

Terrible couple of days...both my 18 year old girls had to leave me in the same week.  At least one will be home in November for a visit. 

 

Monty, the anime cat, is lost without his dominatrix telling him what to do.  They had an interesting relationship - she took the mickey out of him a couple of times to put him in his place when he assumed he'd join the household as head cat.  These were full on, Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner dust cloud battles with paws and clumps of fur rising from the fighting fury.  He learned and accepted this role, but now he's wondering where the Boss went. The other boy cat isn't so bothered, probably because he moved into Kid2's room ages ago to avoid Monty the Monstesarus being a total jerk to him.

Our hip felt fine when we awoke, wonderful fizzicle therapy man.

 

One of Mama T-B.'s banks wanted action against account dormancy, standard man.

Mama T-B. keeps a pittance there purely to maintain the safety-deposit box, necessary man.

We went in with the bank's form, signed by us as power of attorney man.

We viewed this also as a chance to change the address to ours, Mama T-B.'s instructions man.

We didn't completely comply, going to change our responsiveness after mam ma'am's reminder we man.

Readied several rescued items for likely visit from buyer on Wednesday, ready we man.

 

Saw mam ma'am's post above and read pet-loss poems, sober reminder to cherish living mius man.

Ruminated on why we can euthanize mius but not suffering humans who have zero quality of life, sigh man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

Possible sales caucus in late morning, q.v. above man.

Then visit Mama T-B. to feed her lunch, intend we man.

Then retrieve delayed Rx for Uncle T-B., if finally ready man.
