here we are in March// kitties and I
Well i have to face that my little Precious, youngest of the 5 kitties i rescued almost 11 yrs ago, her arthritis is getting worse. There is not much they can do for cats more for dogs with this disease. Right now she is on predisone as often as she can have it. I have added foot stools so she can get on couch or her chair as she wants. she is small built. I now see one of her brothers is also starting to limp a bit. These are the two i took to RV every weekend with me also so we have a special bond together. Not favs, just that was special. I love my fur babies very much. I live alone so they are my kids and family, as my family is gone now. (both sides). I do have some cousins, but we did not grow up together and life styles are completely different. Started to go thru closets also..long over due. Room looks nicer when closet door is closed LOL but it is time to let some things go. Going thru a box of cards letters notes what have ya, from my mom , or me to her over the yrs. and i get all weepy eyes and it goes once more on a pile, ''to keep''. but this time the box is marked personal from mom etc so some time if i need to move or even take with me, already gone through and will know what it is. Then there are a ''few boxes'' (LOL) that are what do we call those drawers? junk drawers??? well seems i have boxes just the same. no excuses, but when i remodeled there were things i did not want to deal with at the time, well, now i have to. it was easy to just throw in boxes decided late kind of thing. That time is now.
I know how much better i will feel when this is all done. Open up closet door and floor is bare. Now the shelves are another thing, well, one thing at a time. Least the shelves i can SEE what is there. One thing at a time ... then the shelves. one thing, it will be easy to get to those shelves, as the floor will be empty of those junk boxes... right? Now i need to get up from here and get to den . those boxes will not unload by themselves. Will need big truck from Salvation Army this spring. But that is good. What is that i hear? seems my clothes closet is calling me also. Oh dear, i need to get busy. more later on progress

So sad to read your kitty is hurting!
Oh the junk boxes! I have a junk room! I had the room cleared out and it looked so great but it is a disaster again. So easy to toss something there and close the door.
Sorry the kids are getting older and hurting now!
Junk in my basement is stuff I hung onto! I have box full of miscelanious photos that are junk I hung onto pictures from the ocean on Guam! Just excess stuff
JoyceMarilyn, my guest room right now has all the winter things on the bed, and else where in there. But I need to do that closet first and re organize and get rid of so much in there. Also sal. army things to give. I have cute things of moms, some drapes, LOL you know i moved and thought well not sure what house i will have and might be able to use these etc... that kind of stuff. and i changed decor at this house now, so those doilies that were country or victorian, not right this time. But then again, i know i will have to move one ore time and down size, and who knows what i can use. LOL just sayin\' hahahahaha
billwfriend... oh gee if i only had one box to go thru...oh glorious day that would be. I had excuse for 3 yrs. i spent time more with mom 3 hrs away, than here, would not change that at all. but when i came home here it was to rest, and give myself emotional healing. then she passed, I knew to be kind to myself and give my self some time to grieve, let go of her things slowly as i could, Well not this is second year and no excuse...just got into rut this winter. Part of my \'\'excuse\'\' is i have no family to even ask if they would take some of the things from family (great gran parents on down). but then i hear from friends, their kids want nothing of this . so they are facing same as me with no one. I think not having family at all, i hold on to things from family, i am not materialistic, it is not that at all, it is sentimental to me. this way i have things around me. some are 100 yrs old . Some are things i made or designed. Once i get a load out of here to Sal Army, then that will help. then i have to be honest with myself. and things that are left, have to be just what i need plus a FEW things of family. But that will be hard just the same. Better get busy.
