It's Official.....


(last night's sunset)

Yes...it's official....
After months of diet control and as much exercise as an old woman with breathing issues could do on a daily basis...

The doc said......we can't put this off any longer...
Your diabetic and it's time for oral meds...

AAAAHHHHHHHH..!!

So another pill has been added to my schedule and diabetic council sessions should start next week...

AAAAHHHHHH!!

Two things i had hoped to avoid....

Now .....lets move on to something happier....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "Cat Cabin"

A lot of bloggers have ask about where it was purchased....

OK

Here's the scoop....
We had the cat cabin built by our good friend Kenny, the carpenter...
it looks very much like a standard dog house....

...Except...

It has double walls with insulation between....
there is also insulation between the floors and the roof..
the entrance is a circle instead of the upside down "U" shape...
the roof is slanted....made of metal and removable.....for easy cleaning..

The parental units filled it with pine straw and catnip..
(Sparky moved right in.....no begging was necessary....)
it's under their front porch...so it is out of the strong winds we get up here...
(the space under their porch is about 3.5 - 4 ft high)

And since it's under the porch ... i don't have any pictures.....
maybe i'll get the malechild to crawl under there..

Life is Good

  1. Sorry you had to get news like that. It is something none of us ever wants to hear. But thankfully it's only another pill to take. I have a DIL that has a insulin pump. Diabetes has lots of side effects so it's best to swallow those pills than to suffer otherwise. Hope your Wednesday is a wonderful one!

  3. Diabeties so sorry. Do not give up on the diet and exercise it will help and perhaps you can go off the pill later. That is what happened to my husband. Now he just watches his diet. No more pills.

  8. The cat-house sounds good, glad the tenant didn't need any teaching.

    We knew you were sweet, but hoped it was just your nature. My dad handled the pill for about 30 years, worked for him.

    Take care, relax.
