Good Morning and Welcome to Thursday the 29th day of November, 2018.
I cannot believe, I simply cannot believe that Saturday will be the first day of December, 2018.
Truly where has this year gone.
Sometimes it feels as though so much has happened that I barely remember everything.
Other times feels as though the year has passed so quickly that I have not accomplished everything.
Did I have a plan?
Er, mm, not really.
Then perhaps 2019 I should have a plan.
Doesn’t have to be cast in stone.
But something.
Writing it down is likely a good idea.
That would give me some rough timelines to follow.
Food for thought.
I know that I am likely not alone in these thoughts.
Well yesterday was icy in our neighbourhood but outside on the main roads, not so bad.
I was pleasantly surprised.
My carpool drove up part way on the sidewalk in the morning (and at night) so that I could walk from the lawn to the truck.
I had kicked some snow from the lawn to the sidewalk with hopes of creating some traction.
It did help but I found the sidewalks icy.
Funny thing though.
Last night.
So many folks were walking by all night long and did not appear to be slipping and sliding.
I do not know.
Last night Humphrey was going to come for a visit but his Momma took him with her to work.
Yup Humphrey the Cat was downtown Edmonton in an office.
He even took his first ride in an elevator.
He had an accident …..
Otherwise he did great and was a huge hit with the staff.
He is going back today.
Anyway back to last night.
Humphrey was going to be spending last night and tonight with us.
I was going to pick him up after I got home from work and then take him home when I went to bed.
But as he went to work he was pooped.
So I just went and spent some time with him.
1/2 hour twice over the course of the evening.
He pretty much slept the whole time.
He has a new CONE of SILENCE and it is pink and oh so soft.
So he was comfy, cozy.
I stroked his face and top of his head as he laid there sleeping and purring.
So content.
I believe that he actually was enjoying the attention.
His Momma was concerned as he has been trying to lick his surgical wound.
He was beat.
I am quite certain after his adventure yesterday that he was simply pooped.
So happy that he is really comfy.
He has to wear the cone for I think another two weeks for a crazy total of 8-10 weeks.
Alvin was disappointed that Humphrey did not come over.
He finally settled down.
I sure hope that we can get rid of this ice so that me and the old fart (oh, Mr. Alvin) can go for a stroll, a walk.
Well almost time to leave for work.
I hope that you all have an awesome Thursday.
Special Hello to: my friend “V” back home who cooks up a storm everyday. Perhaps we should speak to her about the weather??? Just kidding.
Always, Carol & Alvin
