Notes - cat family / disjointed fun / tweak of diversion

         Later morning. Kim has just passed Max and Erma’s at SR 68 and I-71. Your cat girls have no idea the grand matriarch of the Paik/Orndorff cat dynasty is about to give them a furry royal welcome to what will now be Ellie’s house of cats and live in human servants of shelter, food and the cattiest of comforts. – Amorella

         1039 hours. This sounds just about right, Amorella. Jadah and Spooky are bound to have to give up something for the right of Queen Ellie to be content at her every whim. She is gentle and puts up with the boys but there will be a hissy fit or two as she arrives, that’s my take on it. We’ll see how it plays.

         1113 hours. Ellie is sitting at the bottom of the steps and Jadah and Spooky are sitting at the top – so it goes for re-introductions with the Paik/Orndorff cat family royals. 

         Carol left for and returned from the doctor and is now in Kroger’s on Tylersville picking up a prescription for sinus. You and Kim stopped and shared a turtle sundae at Graeters after the three of you had lunch at Brazenhead Irish Pub first. Ellie was sad as Kim was leaving. Kim left to pick up the boys. Paul was on call but you think is now at the hospital for a heart surgery. – Amorella

         1520 hours. The day has been fun but disjointed. Carol is setting up the papers for Kim with her/our accounts so she has complete access and power of attorney. We both feel better about this. She will be down in a couple of weeks with the boys after they return from a week’s vacation at Hilton Head with friends. Paul has a three-day conference to fly to on the Saturday they return. He has more work to do as chair of the anesthesia department at the hospital and its two-outline city surgery centers.

         You didn’t do any Pouch work today and now is the not time to begin. You did have carrots and ice water for supper while you both watched the national news, “Unforgettable” and the PBS “Secrets of Westminster”. Spooky won’t come downstairs so you took up food and water as well as a litter station for her use until she can bring herself to walk and sit in the same room with Queen Ellie who ironically also needs creature comfort herself as she sits with you in the living room. - Amorella

         2143 hours. I think of T. S. Eliot and his many observed and independent cats that found a re-creation in a wonderful musical not so many years ago. Today Kim spoke of Owen and the four years olds on the T-ball baseball team and how watching them play a game is like trying to herd cats – every one off in a different direction. Overall, it has been a fun day with a tweak of diversion to add sly humor in living of one day at a time for a change. Most days roll together in a week or two and before long half a year is gone; an enjoyable half of a year for the most part, but gone nevertheless.

         Post, orndorff. - Amorella
