Ashley Wednesday

just too cute!
Well today marks Ashley's 19th birthday... She was given to me as this tiny little cotton ball on Ash Wednesday 19 years ago today. I am just thankful that she is here to see it. I took this picture a few days before I moved into my new apartment. She was worried that everything seemed to be moving around her... but she adapted perfectly to her new home. She hasn't really complained at all about it.
I switched her food to something a little more "kidney" friendly since that's whats really wrong right now with her. She has one kidney failed and the other is failing. She also is only really seeing out of one eye. My poor little Ashley-cat... She gets LOTS of love, all the water she wants and food whenever she asks for it. And come the day she suffers, is the day I send her to Cindy, who will be waiting with open arms and lots of love.
Always,
~Sherry

Been a while...

Sorry for the gaps in blogs. Life is keeping me just so busy lately. I moved to New Jersey into an apartment and it's been good so far. I finally have a pretty much working apartment and now I just want to get some pretty things for the walls and such. Other then that I have everything I really need right now.

Ok, so here's my news for right now. Everyone who knows me knows that I have lots of trouble with my neck. Well its getting worse. I'm going to a neurologist next week in the hopes that they can help me. All I have to say is that when something starts to effect your normal everyday life, you have to give it attention. I'm starting to notice more and more things that I have changed to keep myself out of pain. Now its effecting my work, thats really not good.

Melissa is doing great. She talked to me on the phone last night and she speaks so well! She asked when I will see her, and if I am bringing grandma and grandpa with me when I see her. Then tells me she has two grandmas! She learned how to use scissors and chopped off a bunch of her hair... so its rather short. I'll scan a picture and get it up soon of her.

Parents are doing pretty good and Casi and Ashley are alright. Ashley is now officially 19 years old! Now thats an old kitty!! She doesnt see as well as she used to and she has her "senior moments" like this morning where she got ill after eating, but its alright. She is working off of one kidney and that one isnt doing so great. We just keep her happy and comfortable and when the time comes, Cindy will be on the other side greeting her with open arms. Everyone knew Cindy and my love for that cat. Soon she'll have her, but until then, she's going to be here.

I wish I had something witty or philosophical to say here...but I dont right now. The pain in my shoulders is starting to really return hard from the last pain killer I took and I guess that means its time for another one. For now... I guess that's all I have to say.
