September 28th 2006 - Driving Miss Lisa
 I
got the call out of the blue and before long was headed
north on interstate 5 from Santa Ana to Sacramento
driving my friend
Lisa home from her latest radiation treatment to
treat her brain of several tumors. She was in
dire need of the ride - so I made few personal
arrangements to help her out.
Amazingly, only a day or so after such a nasty
procedure, she was able to keep our conversation lively for most of the
6 1/2 hour drive. It's really inspiring to see
someone so challenged by breast cancer keep on fighting.
So many of us are so proud of her!
We arrived in West Sacramento on Friday eve and later
that night, Laura and I returned the rental car.
As I flew back to Burbank the next afternoon, I tried
to hold back a feeling of sadness while thinking about my
friend. The unfairness and arcane treatments that
she and so many others must go through is maddening and
frustrating.
Keep Fighting Lisa!!!
October 1st 2006 - Three Cats for Three Weeks
| When
Dave and Beth took to the East Coast, I
took in their two (indoor) cats Puszi (the
little gray one - pronounced "Pussy") and
Squeaky (the not so little brown one) while they
were away. |
|
Plus my little (indoor) brown one
(Tappancs - pronounced 'TopPunch' aka Topper) makes three. Three
sets of paws in my tiny house - what could go
wrong? Actually, things where just fine - for the first
week. But when little Puszi escaped,
things got a little - ah - shall I say -
interesting. |
Here are the highlights:
▪ Puszi was missing for two
days and two nights. You go girl! |
|
▪Her ears
and eyes got infected with a flea infestation
while on her "excellent adventure".
Wahoo!
▪The fleas started to show
up on the other cats, and around the house.
Doh! |
▪Virginia
and I gave them each a bath to wash out the dead
fleas after a visit to the veterinarian. Yum!
The house and cats are now flea - fee. The
two kitties have been returned to Dave and Beth
- happy to be home I'm sure.
I'm actually looking forward to seeing them
again!
