Morning, all!

Sorry I haven't been very chatty lately on here. I've been dealing with a sick cat for almost a week now. Mandy came down with…something. One minute she's fine and the next she barely eats, drinks or leaves her bed. This went on for 4 days. I finally told John to make a vet appointment. Mandy was acting just like Chloe did when we found out about her kidney failure and we were terrified we were going to lose her too, only a few months after losing Chloe. It was just too much to even contemplate. So John no more than makes the appointment and Mandy snaps out of it! Over the last two days she's been eating and drinking like crazy, is back to grooming herself and is awake and alert the majority of the day. So we moved the vet appointment to Monday instead. But if she continues to improve we'll cancel it. I can't imagine what was wrong with her but we're so relieved that she's bouncing back. Especially since her day on the Cat Fancy calendar is Monday. We already lost Chloe before her day back in May. I wouldn't have been able to handle it if Mandy didn't live for her special day.

Whew. So yeah, been kind of tense around the house, but things are improving and so is my mood, so I thought I'd catch you guys up on what I've been doing.

Remember the glass fusion class I took a week ago? Got to go and pick up my finished pieces the other day and here they are!

Not bad for my first try at this. But the weird thing is, that wasn't supposed to be red, white and blue. It was supposed to be red, white and GREEN, for a Christmas pendant. The piece of glass I picked was green! I don't know why when it was fired it turned blue. So now I have a 4th of July necklace instead of Christmas. [pout] But I do like how the pastel one turned out.

The weather was nice here the other day, so John and I got outside and put up the Christmas lights on the house and the fence and the bushes. I had to take this photo when we were done - Christmas meets Thanksgiving. :-)

And to end with your daily dose of cuteness (even though John would kill me if he knew I was posting this *g*) I give you A Man and His Kitten - Relaxing

Thanksgiving is tomorrow! I have a four-day weekend! Woot! It will be my last days of rest for a while, though, as my office begins packing up on Monday for our move to our new building on December 5th. It's going to be freaking mass chaos with over 100 employees all doing this at the same time. There are going to be so many totes and boxes piled up you're not going to be able to walk down the hallways!

So yeah, I'm going to do nothing but eat turkey, watch TV and read books for the next four days. :-)

If I'm not online tomorrow, I want to wish all of my friends here in the U.S. a very Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble, gobble!

Mandy has completely bounced back and has been acting like her normal self, so John canceled the appointment. I’d still like to have her checked out just in case, so we’ll see if we end up taking her in. She really had us worried.

Bean - she’s cute and she knows it! LOL! I’ve had solid gray cats for so long with gray noses that I’m fascinated by that little pink one, too. :-)
