Well, it really sucks if your cat doesn't seem to care. I think they do care, they just have a different way of showing it than we meager humans can ever understand. Of course, I think it might be nice if my boys backed off a bit. They are each around twenty pounds and have to sleep nearly on top of me. With the pain and trouble I have finding a comfortable position, it's so much harder trying to wiggle and fit around them, too. Ah, who am I kidding? I'd be lost without them. If I'm away from home, I have even more trouble sleeping without a purring furry under my chin, and my legs, or against my back, or draped over my arm.

Oh my, now I've hijacked the thread! But it's okay, there's never too much humor in the world.

Way to go sweetheart... somedays taking a shower is just not possible... I get sick and dizzy and my blood pressure drops... You did fantastic!!!

Baby steps is right.... I'm going back to school to earn a degree so that i can be a life coach for folks like us... and baby steps are exactly what will be taken... everything...every day... and you absolutly (okay, sorry for the typs and spelling...i'vebeen in cold/wet all day... with stress.. you do the math) should pat yourself on the back... be your own cheerleadre... I put my theiss paper (the frontpage) from my psych class on the fridge... I got the highest grade in the class ( a 93).. the next grrade below me... 72.... damn right...it's still there too!!!!

also...try to keep a sense of humor about things... it really helps... if you accidently but kitty litter in the bath intead of bath salt... oh well...your "sparkling fresh..." if you put your keys in the frezer while unloading groceries... great... burglers never look there!!
