Maryanne--Love the "fake mews." Just got home from work; got to leave a little early.0

I'm tearing my hair out here with work computer issues. I guess shooting out my computer would be counterproductive but really.......
Cat show set up tomorrow. This is a really busy month. But then it gets a lot quieter.0 -
Well, cat show is set up and then we had a nice dinner. I broke down and took an Aleve Thursday night, again yesterday morning and again last night. I'm hoping that's the minimum necessary to get me through the cat show.
Today I don't have to go anywhere. Every once in awhile it's a relief to not have to go anywhere.0 -
I guess we've all been too busy to post the last few days. I'm still going to rehab with DH 3 days a week. He's got about 3 weeks left to finish up. We've both gotten a lot out of the classes. He'll just have to stick with exercising on his own once this is finished. He uses a stationary recumbent bike for a portion of the exercise and that's his favorite. He's pretty good on the treadmill. The one they use shows how much energy he generates while on it. His best so far is 80 watts. A fellow who just did his last session yesterday routinely generates 100 watts or more. The class that shocked me most was sodium. I've put so many items back on the shelf after looking at the sodium count. I was going to buy a pre-made sandwich the other day and put it back when I saw it had over 1200 mg of sodium. Yikes.0

I'm at the beach this week with family, so I have been busy relaxing, lol!0

I remembered you were going to the beach. Seeing the horrific conditions in Puerto Rico, I'm sure Jean will not be going there for vacation. I would hope the airlines would be lenient about letting people cancel reservations or change destinations without huge penalties. How could they expect people to travel to a disaster area with no power or water. Plus the airport is at reduced capacity because one of the towers was taken out by Maria. People are limed up trying to fly out so I can't see them flying people in unless they are relief workers.
Maryanne, gave you recovered from the cat show?0 -
Helene - I'm glad your hubby is doing so well with the exercise classes. I think I've recovered from the cat show. We are really, really pushing ourselves this month between the shows and flea markets and getting the raffle mailing out. No rest though - I need to start on the holiday newsletter practically right away.
Pam - enjoy the beach!
Lil is taming kittens and having a rough go. The vet suggested separating them. I feel bad not offering to work with one but I'm at my limit in so many ways. I suggested she consider boarding two at a time. I know vet techs - they'll play with them - and she can be working with the third one. Best I could come up with.
This morning I fed the colonies then went to the vet to pick up a feral cat to be released along with the assembled raffle mailing and a trap. Had to be home by noon for our every other week conference call so I had to get up early (for me) and leave early. Didn't get much sleep last night so I'm hoping for better tonight. Thursday is DH's 69th birthday. His desired birthday dinner is steak, baby potatoes and asparagus. I can handle that. LOL! I already bought his gifts including the DVD of the Ken Burns Vietnam War documentary and his favorite Lindt chocolate orange truffles (the BIG bag). I have an ulterior motive - I'd like to delete the Burns documentary off the DVR.
DH was all excited about the new Star Trek. He even signed up for CBS All Access. But has yet to watch the first episode. Me I'm looking forward to Survivor starting tomorrow!

I'm with you on Survivor. Only problem is too many of my favorite shows are coming back all at once. I tape and then have a backlog to get to. I don't know if this will work. I copied a link address from a friend's posting. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214253634277399&set=a.4190071352688.181241.1311748262&type=3 My friend was the animal control officer in town and she ran a cat rescue group out of her home. We got our two cats from June. She had to take early retirement after her hand was disabled from a cat bite and multiple surgeries. She had to close down the cat rescue when it became overwhelming.

Helene - it says I must log on to facebook and I'm not signed up for facebook. I do get a backlog sometimes on my DVR but it seems to me there aren't a lot of new shows that are too exciting this fall so that may help a little on the volume! In the last few weeks I taped the last show of last year on some of my favorites to watch right before I watch their opener - refresh my memory so to speak. Last evening I watched the last NCIS from spring and the first from this fall. I guess that will even more increase my backlog! LOL!
Cat rescue can become overwhelming. You have to set boundaries and limits and continually remind yourself that you can only do what you can do and that you are already doing more than the next 1000 or so people so you shouldn't feel bad when people try to make you feel bad (and they do ALL the time). At least that's my constant speech to myself.0 -

The graphic was about a dog park which was going to get built. and it was going to be a really, really good dog park. There's a photo of a really cute but serious looking dog. You scroll to the bottom and it say and the cats are going to pay for the dog park. It was so Trumpesque! We watched the new NCIS last night. it's DH's favorite show. We should have gone back to the last show of last season. The promos said 2 agents were missing and I asked DH who was missing? Either we didn't see that episode or we forgot it.0

Helene - I'm SO glad I'm not the only one who forgot some of that last year's NCIS episode!0

There are different versions floating around of that meme:

I currently have several dozen small stuffed Grumpy Cats in my car. We ran out at the last cat show and I had trouble tracking them down but finally found some!0

I have a stuffed Grumpy Cat that was given to me for my birthday a year or two ago.
I've been busy and tired as well as forgetful about posting. I did manage to get my ticket changed to another destination without a $200 ticket change fee each despite the travel date being outside the "required" travel window. I checked the airline flight status online yesterday and found that 2/3's of the flights scheduled to Puerto Rico yesterday actually departed and landed there. We are now going to Seattle only because we have never been there but also because the ticket cost was almost the same as the ticket to Puerto Rico. We had to keep the new flight within the same time window as my niece could not reschedule her vacation time.0 -
Jean - I'm sorry you won't get to Puerto Rico (this year) but glad you were able to reschedule!
Today I need to feed the colonies, go to the grocery store and then work! Daggone that need to make a living anyway. LOL!0 -

I'm glad you were able to reschedule without penalty. Seattle sounds like a good place to visit. If you take your passports, you could probably take a quick trip to Canada. That whole area is supposed to be pretty scenic. Even though the airlines are landing most PR flights, I'd think they be lambasted if they were flying vacationers into a disaster area and adding to the crush of people trying to leave. PR nightmare for them. I would think the only people going there are relief workers and people looking for their families.

Thanks for the Survivor links. I really wanted Alan gone because he's such a bully. And I think he was faking paranoia. I think he just wanted to plant his suspicions all over the tribe. I was surprised Chrissy didn't save Katrina but Ashley would have gone home. And Katrina's comments about the editing making them seem like allies was interesting. I did they they were allied plus I thought keeping Katrina as a buffer might keep Chrissy in longer. But maybe not after reading the commentaries.0

Seattle is a fun place. DH spent two years there while I was in grad school and I was able to visit a few times. I really enjoyed taking ferries over to some of the San Juan islands, and visiting Pike Place Market is a must see. We also enjoyed driving east about 2 hours to a town called Leavenworth, which is like a Bavarian Christmas village. The drive is very scenic and the town was fun to shop. If it's open, the North Cascades Highway is a beautiful drive, but it closes over the winter. I'm not sure when it closes, however. You'll have a great time! Of course, the food is fantastic, too.0

I had the same reaction to Chrissy not saving Katrina. Surprise that she didn't do it; then reading the commentary and going "oh yeah I see that side".
