CAT DADS R COOL

We just wish we had one. Besides Mommy, that is.
Happy Father's Day!
You are lucky if your Daddy is all Daddy and not like me, with just a Mommy!
But we all are lucky to have someone love us, right? Mommy and/or Daddy!
Keep cool today, if it's going to be really really hot and muggy where you are (like here). Drink lots of water and put out some for the unlucky ones stuck outside!
And more humans need to NOT put babies of any kind in a hot car!!!!

Wordy Wednesday

Hi! It's really me!

We have survived a lot of heat and humidity these last several days, and storms last night were loud, but I have my mommy and she has me, so it wasn't too bad. My mommy loves storms, so she remains calm and that helps me remain calm.
No, our air conditioner is acting up and there is a loonnnnggg waiting list for maintenance. And we have to be patient. There are a lot of people in this building who really need a/c a lot more than Mommy and me. But we have a lovely tower fan in the living room that is helping tremendously. And mommy isn't doing too much baking, except limited to short times in the toaster oven! Or cooking when it is cooler. So it's not too bad so far. But that a/c will get fixed eventually, so no real worries.
Mommy's wheel chair: she has an appointment to be evaluated (finally!) in the middle of August! They certainly are busy if she has to wait that long. She says this time (!) she goes to her favorite place (the one next to the hospital with the sweet comfort service woofie she met not long ago. And a nice cafe place where she gets scrumptious (don't you love that word?) salads.
So that is what's up with the wheel chair. Now, the original doctor's visit was in late April. Who knows when and if she will get her chair! She's already fallen once this week.
Remember that internet problem?  They charged her 70 green papers for the tech to come! She called and they said they would give her credit, but you never know. Now her statement says she still owes over 92 green papers, and I bet they charge her a late fee next month so it will be impossible to have our cable internet. If anyone can put money in my  PayPal, thank you in advance. I told mommy she can have some of it.
I am spending a lot of time in the shower. Mommy thinks this is silly. But the floor is cool in there. She says all our floors are tile, so they all should be cool. I do come out and sit in my chair, though, and on the floor by Mommy and in my linen closet and on my bed and on the big bed (my mommy says it really is hers), and on the laundry and, and, and! So what is her problem??? Mommies!
Oh, some more good news: We are getting a new floor lamp.  Now we do have two, but one of them is kinda broken in the middle. It has a problem standing up straight, and that is kinda scary. Well, the new one is new to us, anyway. And we didn't have to pay any green papers for it. It doesn't match the one we are keeping (that one was free, too) but they aren't standing next to each other, and besides my Mommy says matching stuff can be boring, and lots of real decorators approve of not matching stuff.
Long enough Wordy Wednesday post?
Whew.
Love ya,
QUINN

Sunday Stuff

This is the book we read: 

Cutie isn't he?

Mommy has to go in to the hospital Tuesday. NO! She's NOT staying! This trip is for her semi-annual heart checkup. That's where her heart doctor's office is. Absolutely no big deal (except I think she goes out for lunch afterwards and never brings anything home for me).

Mommy didn't let me see it, but one of our neighbors came in and organized our pantry (Mommy has fallen getting stuff out of it many times before). A very beautiful job, Mommy says, but you still can't go in there, Quinnie Makayla!

Is this fair? Pantries are FUN!

Have a beautiful week.

love ya,

QUINN

Friday Wrap Up

Hi, all. No, I haven't forgotten you! Mommy just hasn't been letting me on line to blog. Today it is cloudy and rainy and yucky and she's been napping (good Mommy) and watching movies (today, bad Mommy--because I haven't been blogging).

Wheelchair update: nothing so far.
Green paper update: Ow.
Mommy update: she's been pretty good. Really wants that chair, cause she made it around the whole WallyWorld on lots of pain last weekend. Think perimeter, not whole store. But she tried. Only sat once, I heard, and didn't fall. She has to go to WallyWorld for her insulins once a month. And of course, they doubled in price again.
Green paper update again: OWWWWW.
Memorial Weekend: other than WallyWorld, not much happening. She was reading a library book about a woofie who solves crime. Well, actually it was a lady chef (for animals) who solves crimes. Not a bad book. And it did have some kitties in it, too. Redeeming factor. Even though the Pampered Pets didn't solve anything they did get some awesome homemade food. "Lights, Action, Murder" and a cute little woofie in a chef's hat on the cover. We do like little woofies!
I did get my Chewy box. More foodies and more litter. Yea!
And Mommy won a book that she is going to read to me. Double yea!
Love ya,
QUINN


 

About my Mommy (again, sorry)

Mommy had a very bad day yesterday. That was until she finally got home (another doctor). It was wanting to rain, but she missed all of the raindrops. No she didn't necessarily feel bad.  It was just one of those days when mommies say they would have rather stayed in bed. Now, I think mommies should stay in bed when ever they want to, but she means everything just went wrong all day.
That meant this morning spending a lot of time on the phone concerning her request for a wheel chair. And getting madder and madder and more upset until she wanted to just give up and forget the whole thing. It has been three weeks and she is no closer to getting it than day one. She shuffles around here so she doesn't fall, holds on to walls and doorways and other stuff and uses her cane, and makes sure I'm not in her way when she walks. She still is trying.  But it is certainly hard to hear that she fell getting into her bank building, or in her own health store at her clinic even using her walker. She doesn't want to go anywhere for fear of falling again.  She doesn't want to break something when she falls (I mean a bone). Why can't people understand this and make the process of getting a wheel chair as simple as they can? And the language as simple as they can. And understand that older people are old and not entirely stupid, just out of their element.
I feel so sorry for her. She gets so upset. She is so unhappy. She was trying everything she could think of (changing meds, talking to her doctors, being overly cautious) and still she is falling.  A wheelchair seemed like the correct answer. It still does. But it sounds like no one else thinks so.
I am a little upset, too. My purring doesn't seem to be helping a lot right now.
So do us a favor. Would a clowder of you purr a little louder? Or bark? Or what ever will maybe help us a little?
my Mommy's little purr-er,
QUINN

Saturday Stuff

I was in a good mood. Here, blog entry, here blog entry!
love ya all anyway,

Diary of a Kitty

I suppose you have heard the news. No internet till the 12th Our modem (NOT THAT OLD) bit the dust. So I told Mommy we could record the highlights and publish them when we got on line:

Friday May 6^th.

The temp went up to 92 degrees Fahrenheit today. NOT early May at all. Whew! And we received notice today that next Wednesday they will be doing the spraying thing because one of our neighbors (NOT US) has ewww bedbugs. They plan on inspecting all the partments around the infested partment (now that is being SMART) so WE don't get them, and treat our partments, too, as a precaution. That means Mommy has to stay home because I have to be kenneled and removed for at least an hour and we have no idea when. Could be morning or afternoon. The cable guy (or girl) comes Thursday, so that very necessary pointment won't be bothered and the fixing of our internets can happen!

Saturday May 7^th

The temp was much lower today, but still in the 70's. Nothing else going on. Mommy and I are making it through the no internets thing. Barely. Mommy doused her living room fan with something she calls WD-40 in preparation for yesterday. When it rotates it still makes horrible noise. Later on when it gets hot for summer we will have our a/c fixed, and won't need it. Mommy's thinking about putting the fan in my room, only it wouldn't be rotating and making noise.

Sunday, May 8^th

Happy Mommy's Day!

Ours wasn't that great. Mommy fell and severely bruised a toe. Gee, she almost made it to the chair! She also managed to scrape the roof of her mouth and there was a huge blood clot. Lunch and dinner was good for her, though. And I did crawl up her arm this morning to sweetly say Happy Mommy's Day before I said NOW FEED ME!

Monday, May 9^th

We are getting so desperate about our friends. Still no internets, of course, but we did make one payment over the phone. They said no charge! Now we have one bill left to pay, although we will have to really make two months payments. The first company we dealt with said we would be payed up till July!

Tuesday May 10^th

Our friend in the building came and cleaned for us. They have a kitty, too. I, I mean we have a lot of boxes and stuff that is gone, too. They are a nice couple. Every thing is taken care of now.

We are making way for mommy's lectrick chair when it comes! Well, we hope it is lectrick. And the bug guys are coming tomorrow. Somehow they got the info that roaches are attracted to kitties. Not true! The roaches come under the front door from other partments. Now bedbugs I don't know' We do not have any!

As for Mommy, her legs are really not strong any more, and she falls a lot. Waiting for paperwork to get moving!

No! You can't take my chair!

Saturday May14th

Well, we missed a few days. Wednesday Mommy had the bug guys' appointment. They completely messed up the place, dragged (and left) a jacket in wet chemicals, left the floor a mess, told us my sleepy pod was bugged (we mean filled with bugs) and said my chair had to go, too.

Thursday the cable guy came. He told us one of the cords was not plugged in, and he plugged it in. We kept asking the phone ladies how many plugs were there and they kept ignoring us. Hey thanks for no internets for a dumb reason!

Now what about Friday. Well, that was an eye appointment for Mommy. And after that, home and she collapsed. I don't mean fell. I mean it was major nap time for us both! She took a nice long naptime today, too.

Now Mommy got brave and downloaded Windows 10. We are in learning mode. Mommy already found some gadgets that are not on 10 and downloaded them so that we have our little clock and calendar back on our desktop!

Oh, and now the fan "bit the dust" and the weather got cooler anyway so we didn't need it.

Whew! And Mommy asked Barb if there was any other place we could live cause she is tired of all the bug alerts that never seem to stop. She hadn't seen a cockroach in 30 years until she moved here, and never ever saw a bedbug. She's kinda done with all this.

Now you are caught up, sort of.

Oh how we missed you all!

love ya,

QUINN and 

Mommy Carol

Mending

We have been still mending Mommy at home. She still has a terrible cough and is kinda weak. She went to her own doctor last week and he prescribed an auntie bi ock  tick for her cause he said there is an infection the hospital didn't look at. Her cough is getting better now. After her doctor's visit she went to the health store at the clinic and some dumb kid had is bike in the way and she fell again. At least she didn't fall on her head like the day before! And what was this kid doing with his bike inside?
Her doctor said she needs a wheel chair and some therapy for her legs.
I think it is Mommy's Day today. Sorry we forgot. In case it isn't then well, we know every day is our special Mommy's Day.

To all our sweet mommies!
