Stormy

A storm front went through our area yesterday afternoon.

At the first big wind, BAM! we lost power.

A neighbor's tree pulled down the wires in the alley, and they are dangling in our backyard.

Thankfully, Henry made it for dinner, despite the firemen and utility dudes crawling all over the place.

And, on top of that, our street is undergoing resurfacing today, tomorrow, and Saturday.

If The Hubby had put The Cat Car in the barn, we'd not be able to get it out, since the live wires are RIGHT THERE.

So, I'm at the office, camping out in an empty cubicle, working and powering up everything that I thought to bring with me.

Our plight is negligible compared to others who've suffered horribly due to storms recently, and we are thankful that we have access to resources so we can get by until everything is back to normal.

May be a bit out of pocket for a bit, but will visit y'all as soon as I can.

Power

Our area had an ice storm Wednesday.

We lost power on Thursday (!), and the current projected restoration date is this Sunday.

However, the real power trip was Sweetie's veterinarian visit.

You are lucky this isn't a video with sound!

Sweetie's fur just came off of her in buckets.

Trying to hide under a chair.

-Sweetie lost a small bit of weight from her last exam.

-Her blood pressure is high.

-Tests are being run to see what pain medications her kidneys can tolerate.

-The lump on her tummy/mammary gland hadn't changed at all.

-Her murder mitts were trimmed, and all mats were combed from her fur!

Sweetie will go back in two weeks, after I give her a teeny tiny bit of a pill once a day to reduce her blood pressure; will crush it to mix into a gushy, smelly treat.

It's obvious that she has sore hips; the vet didn't even need to take radiographs to diagnose it.

We are hoping to give her a Solensia shot once a month.

Sweetie didn't hold the indignities of a vet visit against me; here she is, using my torso has her beddy after we arrived back home
.

If we go quiet, please know that it's because without power, we are without Wi-Fi too.

May have to drive to the office to work; rats!

A Day Without

It's Sweetnesday!

Last Saturday, we had severe winds, with gusts that brought down part of a HUGE Maple tree in a neighbor's yard:

Tree fell across neighbor's garage and cars, then over the alley...

...into our next-door neighbor's backyard!

We did NOT lose power at this time; that occured when someone else's tree lay across the wires a little while later.

Luckily, we were without electricity for only a day.

The Hubby and I put on our winter coats, and drank plenty of hot beverages.

Da Boyz curled up together, but poor Sweetie was without her Sweetie Spa heated beddy!

She tried to stay warm under the blanket, but it was unsatisfactory.

That night, she crawled on top of me, to use my body heat.

When I awoke, she was on my head!

Sweetie: "I'm in my Sweetie Spa, and no one is allowed to make it go cold again!"

Our prayers go out to those in Kentucky and elsewhere, who were severely affected by same storm system, to much more devastating results.

A day without power means nothing, when we still have a roof over our heads.
