Thursday, Kiki and the academy

 See how many charts Kim can fill when she works hard and is not out spending money in town.  No groceries, no gas.  Just stay home and work.

Now let me tell you about the most gifted cat in the world.  When Kiki was found she was not moving.  She was dirty and limp.  Not bleeding but obviously had what we thought as a spinal injury.  Not moving her back legs at all.  So, she sat in a carrier with food and water she did not touch for a couple of hours. I was taking her to the vet at 4:30.

I did bring her into the house where it was cool and checked on her frequently.  My neighbor who found her came over and decided to hold her for a while and we talked, while she stroked Kiki and I finished up the Indian regalia.  All of a sudden, I noticed Kiki pushed with her back foot.  Did I just see that?

But again, no movement with her back feet. We decided to put her on the floor to see if she would react.  She gets up and ambles under the chair. She is fine.  Now she has always been a dirty scruffy cat.  We constantly go out and wash her off with clothes.  Which she loves by the way. So, what really is going on? We have no idea.  But we do know she is a good actress. I called the VET and they have a term for it.  

Magic Door syndrome. The minute you walk through the VET doors the animal miraculously recovers. But you still get a bill and some embarrassment to go with it. Kik's is back outside in her garage domain.  She had an afternoon of love.  She does get a lot of attention, as she demands it. But what an actress. The academy has been contacted. She is ready for her close-up Mr. D'Mille.

One more worry off my plate and I also completed all the shop things by 3 in the afternoon!!!!!  I am done until I get back from vacation.  I feel so free.  Made porkchops, squash from the garden and red potatoes for dinner. Dan and I went a got a dairy queen last night, we were watching Rooster Gogburn and the lady, and I fell asleep on the couch. Wen to bed early. I think yesterday really tired me out.

Now I need to think about packing and what I am going to take on this trip. The ironing basket needs love as most of what I want to take with is in there. But I have time to think and plan.

Sissie and our friend are due in this afternoon.  I am excited to spend some time with them before I leave.  Now I can.  Rather than being hooked to the shop until the last minute.

I still need to go out and do a little more spraying and I need to thin the beet and the radishes that have come up and have not been eaten.  I am not holding my breath.

Have a great and productive day

God is good
