Relax no one else knows what they are doing either....
My alarm is always set for 5:20 am; which is the time
I would get up, get ready and go feed the cats. Instead, I’m
awake by 4:45 am to turn the alarm before it goes off.
As mentioned before, I go feeding them every
other day, even though I want to do it daily. I keep
reminding myself and Arvid keeps remind me that they
(the kitties) need to find and hunt for their foodies.
I got back form NC and that same evening I went
out looking for them. I was not sure what to expect.
That first evening back I just saw 4 of the 10 remaining
kitties. They looked fine. Mama was very hungry. When
I was in NC Arvid called me desperately one day after
his afternoon walk asking where I kept the cat foodies.
He said, “I saw Mama and she was crying. She was
rubbing up against my legs. I think she’s hungry.”
Needless to say, he came back up, got the foodies, went
back down and left foodies for her. He also told me he
left foodies for Senior. Yes. Arvid knows the names of
most of the kitties🐈. Even if he can't tell at times
which is which among a few that look alike.
We’ve been having some wet weather here. We went
walking yesterday, but in less than 10 minutes into our
walk we had to leave. The rain came pouring down, but
even so I did leave Chiquita (another stray kitty by the beach)
some foodies. She had a little tunnel and there I have left her
a bowl for food and water a while back. Was still there 😍
Sniff and Arvid had a good time together. Arvid of
course gave Sniff very specific routines. Didn’t seem
to be bad at all. They are both happy and fine tuned. For now.
It is always good to see my parents. Always the
best time. Relaxing and peaceful. To make the stay
even better Gabsy surprised us for a visit.
I was in heaven seeing him. I love all all my
nieces and nephews. Each bring into my life
so much happiness. Having Gabsy and KimSy
together was a happy time. I adore them all.
We mainly stayed in. Had lots of good food,
watched many movies together. Laughed and chatted.
We managed to go to a favorite Japanese restaurant of my
parents and for breakfast out another morning.
It was exactly what my soul and my heart needed.
A few days to just destress. I keep reminding myself that
I can only do so much 🤨 only time will tell if that works.
I wish I lived closer to my parents. I would love
to see them more often. Time is going by too
fast and none of us is getting any younger.
In the meantime, I am grateful for every opportunity I have
to see them and the rest of my family. Kimsy is always
such a pleasure to be around. Arvid always says that Kimsy
is one of the most calm and collected persons he knows.
Kimsy and Danielle are very easy going. This time
I also noticed that Gabsy is the same. He spent lots of
time playing his guitar for us. Was very soothing.
Arvid likes calm people. When around people who
yak non stop he’s not too happy, on the other hand
most people tend to be that way ☺️. I love to "Yak"
The sun is out and the day is looking to be beautiful.
Just a little shower here and there, but after all we do live
in an island. And what a beautiful island it is.
Take a deep breath and just enjoy your life...
