This was one of those weeks when I had a to-do list and
was ready to get at it and get things marked off. I was rarin’ to go. I have a quilt for history club that needs I
need to finish quilting, blocks to make for my Farmer’s Wife class, and a few of
those triangles for my Dear Jane class needed to get under my needle.
Funny how life gets in the way.
On Monday, after dinner, my DH comes to the back door
and says, “Come here, I have something to show you.”
Being the time of year that it is, I figured it was a
snake. They are out, and we do live in a
rural area, and we do see quite a few.
So when I rounded the corner I was completely surprised to find it was a
kitten.
A tiny black and white kitten whose eyes are still
blue-ish and needs to be with his mom.
But Mom is nowhere to be found and I’m playing foster mom to the little
thing who I’ve named Scraps. Luckily he’s a feisty critter and has pretty
readily taken to wet cat food and only drinks from a feeding syringe four times
a day.
Tuesday brought its own round of issues – the DH came
down with a kidney stone. And as anyone
who has had one of those rolling stones can tell you, they are no fun. So Tuesday afternoon had me in the doctor’s
office with him and then at the drugstore for $213.00 worth of kidney stone
drugs. Twenty-four hours later, the
stone had passed and his life went on as normal.
Wednesday, I began feeling ill so Thursday found me at
the doctor’s office, hacking and coughing, and generally feeling icky. I was praying whatever it was would be
bacterial so I could get an antibiotic and feel normal in about 24-hours.
Nope.
It’s a respiratory virus that takes about two weeks to
recover from. I left the drug store,
having spent over $100 for seven prescriptions.
Seven. I’ve never been on this
many drugs. I had to go home and make a
chart so I would know exactly when I was supposed to take what.
The upside to all of the medication is that I’m pretty
sleepy most of the time. The down side
is that because I am sleepy most of the time, I’m not getting anything
done. So between a needy kitten and
sickness, the topic of this blog is…life happens. And when it does, you have to roll with
it.
I promise I will do better next week…
Love and Stitches,
Sherri
