I Love New York Travel

Haven’t been taking many “artistic” photos lately. Been taking LOADS for my renovation blog, because I can FINALLY blog about all the stuff I’ve been doing after all these months. Whew. Now that fall is upon I us, I have been deluged with “renewal” stuff, too: health insurance recertifications, school stuff, eye exams, dental exams, going over bills and quotes such as at carinsurancelist.com…. yeeeHAW, it’s a busy time. Never before have I been so very very busy for such an extended time. I feel like a choo-choo train, full-steam ahead.

I’m actually looking forward to winter, hoping that things will sloooow down just a little bit. I have endless small projects to complete before winter hits, yet. Once those are done, I can rest more easily. I have taken the past four months hiatus from my freelance writing job… I definitely need to started on that again.

I thought life would slow down a little as I got older! Rrrrright…

Oh my word, I’m just SO tired these days. Is it just the gloomy, gray weather? Did I exhaust myself with this home renovation? I don’t know. I just can’t seem to muster the energy for much, these days. Of course, I am currently clobbered with work, as well as saddled with the multitudes of little jobs left to do on the house. My list is filled with everything from rebuilding the exterior trim around the new window to installing deadbolt locks… whew! On top of all this, I am thinking I need to get a small job outside the home to supplement my income.

Yes, I wish I could just tuck a few AAs and get hopping!

Livvy, my indoor darling, has had a rough time during the renovation. Oh sure. there are always bix boxes to play in, packing peanuts to jump through, new stuff to sniff and inspect. But she’s been a real grouch, and I can’t wait until things are back to normal so that we can have our sweet kitty back again.

She doesn’t like change. Her food dishes are always in different places, depending on which room we’re renovating. The dishwasher makes a lot of noise and scares her to pieces. She sometimes is locked away upstairs because of the dangerous equipment, or because we don’t want her to escape through an open door.

She’s rail thin, and I worry about her. I worry if the stress of the constant changes here are making her skinny. It’s not some apidexin scam– I am truly worried about her weight! Siamese are naturally thin, but when I pet her, I can feel her shoulder bones. She is getting enough to eat, but…

This is all just ANOTHER reason why we need to FINISH this huge project!

I have NO IDEA how he got so tubby. We don’t overfeed him, and he doesn’t eat mice or other rodents. Must be in the genes.

I’m usually blogging about my personal companion, Livvy (my Tabby Point Siamese cat), but we do have a few other cats around the homestead. Livvy is an indoor, kitty, but Milo and Fuzzy are outside cats. They are tabbies, and are much better suited to the wild outdoors. Milo is an orange striped tabby, and Fuzzy is a tiger tabby. He’s distinguishable by the black smudge on his nose. He looks like he needs blackhead treatment, but it’s not dirt — it’s just his smudgey coloration. His paws are very dainty white, though.

Fuzzy is such a cutie. He’s my youngest son’s cat, and Fuzzy does love my son.

Fuzzy has a unique personality. He’s quirky. He likes to bury his head under your neck or under your arm. He will eat tomatoes. He has a strange meow, as if he were imitating my son calling for me: MMM-ROwwww-MMM. He chases his tail, round and round and round- he’s hilarious to watch.

Cats are so much fun.
