Well, we started out with 5 kittens. We are now down to 1 kitten and she is doing great. She went to the Vet for a check up due to a possible UTI. The Vet says little L is doing fine and that we are doing everything right. Unfortunately, the other four just didn’t make it. By the way L will be 2 weeks old on Thursday. We are still waiting for L to open her eyes. Colossians 1:9 “For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you.

A stray cat had kittens in our yard then abandoned them. There were 5 total. So, we have been trying to take care of them. Unfortunately, two died one today and one yesterday. But, three are surviving and seemed to be doing good. Hopefully they will survive they are very cute and I think I will keep one. One male and two females left. The two that died were both female.

It’s Official, the first full week of Fall classes has begun. I am only taking one class because taking more than one, drives me nuts working full time.

My Dear Taco was put to sleep tonight. It was not planned. He started having seizures and they would not stop for almost an hour and a half. I could not see him suffer and the Emergency Vet stated it was for the best. He never did recover. I will miss him greatly. I lost Henry almost two years ago and now Taco. All my dogs are gone.

Well, it has been tough at work lately. I have been working rare overtime to get the yearly inventory done and we finally finished last night. My batteries are still drained and I have to work through this week with only a little juice left. But, at least it will be back to normal routines and I get a four day break at the end of the week. On a different note, I would like to wish my Mom and Dad a Happy 45th wedding anniversary yesterday, June 8th. I would also like to wish my nephew Landon, a happy 9th birthday tomorrow. They are having a party today. Quote of the Day: The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything.

My procedure was done on Friday morning. I received good news, but still have many questions. No blockages were found. But, I still have my chest tightness, light headiness and short of breathiness from HCM. So, hopefully the doctor will have more for me when I go back for the follow-up. One good thing I had a dissolvable plug put in and did not have to stay long in the hospital. Quote of the Day: The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything.

Remember tomorrow when you are taking a moment before eating Easter dinner, that two thousand and thirteen years ago Jesus was born. One thousand, nine hundred and eighty years as of Friday, that Jesus died an extricating death on a wooden splintered filled Cross, paid our account in full from the bonds of sin. What we celebrate tomorrow is remembering all those years ago He Rose and defeated death, Satan and Sin. But was there any doubt of it. Isaiah 53:3-4 “He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Well, I was hoping that this year would be better than next. So far it has been a mixed bag. I was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Then I had a nuclear stress test done. It was discovered that the bottom right of my right is not receiving enough blood or oxygen when under stress. So, I have to undergo a cardiac catheterization to see what the problem is. The doctor told me it wasn’t urgent but I need to have it done. When not stressed my heart is fine. So, I think I will have it done in July 2013 so that I meet my deductible for the new insurance year. I hope everything gets fixed so that I can start exercising a little to lose some weight. My class this semester is ok. I have a solid “B”.
