Caturday!!

Thanks for all your kind thoughts. You all are truly sweet. Mommy and I really appreciate the way you have all been so helpful throughout our blogging.  It's been several years now. Gee, longer than I have been alive! 
We are on a fixed income for the rest of our lives. Financially it won't get any better. That's why Mommy has her lists. If we get ahead. If we get some help. If Mommy can juggle her monies one more time. If. If. If. So if YOU can help, yes we do have a Paypal account. Purrayers and kind thoughts (from woofies, too) can also help. They already have been helping us!!!! And we will continue to help others that way, too.
But wait! There's more!
Time OUT!
This weekend while all the 'rents are at the Blog Paws Blowout, it is time to party! It is time for some serious house trashing!
Mommy has said I could go. So all you who are parentless this weekend, invite all of us left behind to a trashing party! We need lots of parties!
LET'S GO PARTAY!
Love ya all,
QUINN

Finally Friday

Well, it has been a few days. Tuesday we wanted to post but didn't. Wednesday we wanted to post but didn't. Thursday we had survived a nasty storm overnight and wanted everyone to  know we were okay. And then Thursday night we had bad weather, but it blew over quickly. So here it is Friday. Mommy has no excuses this time!
Wednesday/Thursday's storm was very scary and loud and flashy. I did the brave thing and distracted Mommy as much as possible. Went back and forth rubbing up against her. Let her pet me and talk sweet to me. See? I was really brave! I took care of Mommy!
Lots of bloggers are at the conference this weekend, and a lot of kitties haven't been lucky enough to go. We should all have a "progressive party". We should go from house to house where the Mommies and/or Daddies have deserted their furbabies. And enjoy trashing the homes!
Of course, my mommy is home. But I don't mind traveling!
Mommy has not left home for years (except, I understand, to go to the hospital). She doesn't have enough money to do that. Sometimes she doesn't have enough money for essentials. She actually has a list of things she wants "someday". And it isn't like a million dollar home or something that dumb.  It's stuff like a new watch, a rollator/walker, a new bed, a love seat. Why a new watch? Hers doesn't keep good time any more. A new rollator/walker? That's self explanatory. Why a new bed? Cause our daybed is broken and being held up by bricks. Why a love seat? We have one wooden rocking chair, one office chair, and a folding chair. And of course, new shoes, a new pair of slippers, new glasses. Stuff like that. And we are on a fixed income.
Well, if I get sick we would be desolated.
Everyone needs stuff. It is sometimes a little hard to listen to others who get to go on vacations, or get new homes, or furniture, or even new toys for furbabies. But we are very happy for them, and really love their good fortune. It does happen for nice people! There is hope for us.
Isn't there??
love ya,
QUINN

It's May (and still cold and rainy)

Internet and TV connections have been spotty at best the last couple of days. We THINK we are back. Mommy couldn't even monitor computers on Tuesday.  They closed the lab down. So like I said, we THINK we are back.  It has been iffy. Mommy has spent  a long time reading. And I have been right by her side!
Still rainy here. Maybe that interfered with stuff.  Sill cool enough to not open the windows.  And Mommy isn't going to be here on Friday.  So we are going to be cuddling today, too. Friday she is going to be at the clinic for lunch and a check up.
I love my mommy. Even if she made me say that. She says I'm on a diet, and cut my noms to next to nothing. Send help! [Mommy here. Cut that out! You are not starving, little Quinn. Actually, you're kind of big Quinn right now.  You need to lose a pound or two!]
Like I was saying, I love my mommy. She does show how she loves me in strange ways sometimes. Like starving me. [Quinn, stop complaining!]
I am still going to sleep through all this rain. She says I need more activity.  So, Da Bird, please. THAT is fun activity! I'll wake up for that! 

 See, I'm not big. [Just not showing her tummy!]
*sigh* 
Love ya all,
QUINN 

Question: We scheduled this for early this morning. But when we checked, it wasn't posted and said "draft". What are we doing wrong? Or does Blogger just not like us???? 

Hello

We've been having internet problems. Back soon.

Easy Sunday

Easy Sunday is a little WET around here.  I think they said on the weather reports that it is going to be raining like this all week! Yuck! So all you lucky enough to have sunpuddles this week, please enjoy extra for me!
I think I will do a LOT of Easy this week, and nappie the rain away!
I bugged Mommy all last week to post for me, but at least she has been reading blogs to me! And I get to see some of your awesome pictures and movies!
Back to sweet dreams, ya'all!

Monday Mutters

I know. We are late posting. But we had some problems. The smoke detector/carbon monoxide thingys (we have two) kept beeping all last evening, night, and all morning, and maintenance checked them over and called an expert cause they continued to beep. So the expert came and tested air quality cause we might have had a gas leak! Then he had a tester for the detectors and for the gas stove. He found one of the detectors was bad and replaced it. No more silly beeps!  No more silly beeps!  Finally a lady can get a little uninterrupted nap time in around here!

But NOW I keep waiting for the beeps! Phooey! Or as Nerissa would say, MOUSES!!

QUINN

Happy Easter!

(and hey, Hi Spring! It's 73 degrees! Thank you!)

Finally Friday

It has been a long week. I don't even remember Monday. We got this weird thing on rollers filled with stuff that Mommy took downstairs Tuesday. [laptops] That's the day she goes and watches computers. For hours and hours.  It's called volunteering to be a computer monitor. Humans and their words!
Tuesday was also the night of the resident council meeting, so mommy was gone for that, too. But she came back with a little "hamm sammich" and shared.
Wednesday she had another meeting to attend, but it was for a shorter time. Thursday she had another meeting (it's all this volunteer stuff). Today I got shoved into the PTU cause we got sprayed for bugs and I had to wait until it dried before I could walk around. Safety first!
We have little monitors that have been spread around the partment that count bugs or something. I have left them alone like a good kitty. Boring anyway. And while mommy has her next volunteering to be a computer monitor day (next Tuesday) they are going to come back and pick up these little monitors.These little monitors have been here a couple weeks already.
Mommy being a computer monitor is different. Downstairs they have laptop computers for residents' use. So she gets to watch so nobody steals them when they are out. 
Anyway, it is finally the end of the week and I have Mommy til that dreaded volunteer time on Tuesday. At least residents' meetings are only once a month!
It has been lovely weather this week, even a high of 71F. Lots of the snow has melted. Of course the weatherman said more is coming, but it will melt right away.
*sigh* Promises, Promises!
It started out to be a grey yucky day but the sun DID come out and it smells nice. Those open windows!
Have a great weekend,
love ya,
QUINN
(and happy belated birthday to Marg!)

Caturday!

Yesterday wasn't all bad. The sun finally did come out, but while some of the snow went away, we still have some around. Today, however, is starting out sunny (but a little cold), so cross your paws, everyone, that yucky snow will stay away!
The sun makes it so warm in here Mommy opened a window a paw width yesterday and it's still open!
OMC!
Mommy never catches me window watching (I'm sneaky, usually there's nothing on, and usually only do it in my room if something is on), but she caught me!

Can I help it there was a black ropey thing swinging in front of the window? I don't get much bird TV up here above the trees! A girl's gotta watch what she can!
Anyway, it's Caturday.

Purrfect for napping! So have a good relaxing Caturday!
And if that stupid snow comes back, phfffffft!
love ya,
QUINN

ps. Is anyone else having trouble with getting to the Cat Blogosphere site? Did they move and not tell anyone??? All I get are error messages. Should we be patient and wait for them to straighten this out? Thanks for any info!

Friday Fooey!

I would have a picture up of the weather today, but it would look like this:

SNOW! 

Right now we can't see anything outside our windows but WHITE! There's a snowstorm outside our windows!
So this is what I am doing today:

And you know why?

This is what I am beginning to look like!

Take care, all. Try to have a good Friday!

love ya!
