Hanging in There

I've been making extra efforts to take photos of the cats, so that I can email them to my husband, who misses them terribly. I am getting better photos with the strong natural light -- the flash doesn't go off in their eyes. I thought this portrait of Habibi turned out pretty well.

I am thoroughly exhausted, but today is my whole body scan, which is checking to see if I have any cancer showing up in certain tissues that are associated with the thyroid, like the lungs and lymphatic system. I think that's what it does anyway.

My folks got here safely, I'm thrilled to report. We haven't gotten to go and do anything fun, but it has been great just to spend time with them and luxuriate in having meals made for me and dishes magically done. Unfortunately, my (step)Mom had cataract surgery on one of her eyes in November and has been having a problem with it. She goes to the eye doctor today. My poor Dad, surrounded by invalids.

Pokey and Lily are pretty much back to normal, but Howler and Bibi are still spending far too much time under my bed. My Dad has been taking the allergy med Zyrtec and hasn't had a problem being around all of them - woohoo.

I finished the quilting on my penguin quilt and have started quilting on a new project. I'll show that another day. Not that I've gotten far - haven't even picked it up in days.

Ya'all take care. Thanks for all the comments and support.
