No Rain

Tomorrow is the big yard sale fundraiser for TNR. As of today, the lady is still receiving donations of items to sell! The weather forecast for Saturday is 50 and sunny -- yay for no rain!

Jury duty has ended and the lady says she's never been so happy to get back to work. After 2 1/2 days, the 12 jurors and 1 alternate were picked and the rest of the jury pool was released. In a different situation, the lady would have thought sitting on a jury would have been a very interesting experience, but in this life, missing a week or two of paychecks and only getting 20.00 per day jury pay....... not an interesting experience.
Pop's chest x-ray was Tuesday and the MRI was pushed back to Wednesday this week, we are still awaiting the results. He should hear something later this morning, once all three of his doctors have had a chance to go over them.

Cal had his weekly B12 injection and weigh in on Wednesday, since the lady was busy sitting on a courtroom bench until her butt went numb, the man servant chauffeured Cal to his visit. Cal weighed in at 8.75 lbs. That's only a half ounce less than last week! Apparently our new baby scale is off around 2.75 ounces. We are all relieved that he had not dropped a significant amount, but hope by next week, he will have gained.

When the lady ordered Cal some food last month, the online store was so kind to send along a half case of Nature's Variety canned chicken food. In true Cal fashion, he wouldn't eat the $40.00 worth of food that was actually ordered, but completely devours the freebies. Typical! The lady is weighing her options-- does she order it or not? She's afraid she might get fooled again! The nearest store to carry this food is 120 miles away, so driving to purchase it is not an option. Don't worry,the rest of us have put a pretty good hurtin' on all of Cal's cast-offs!


Thank you, Elin, for this very nice award!!

Thanks to everyone who came by to wish Rambler a Happy Gotcha Day! He is very much enjoying his new boogie mat and treats! We would like to wish everyone a fabulous Friday!

Keep on eating Cal! You are a little food trickster aren't you!

Happy Belated Gotcha Day, Rambler. That is a very cool name.

Have a great weekend!

Sending love and prayers for good test results for your Pop! And thank goodness for no more jury duty for your mom. That is exhausting! We hope the yard sale is a huge and sunny success! We sure hope Cal will keep eating and gaining weight. Come on, Cal! You can do it! I think there is a correlation between free/cost - like how Grover and Piggy will play with a cardboard box til they destroy it, but the paid-for toys often go un-touched... We've got bags of 'special' food that goes untouched...oy...

Zeus said...

Hello there, Creek Cats! This is my first time to your blog, and I came here by means of The Island Cats.

I don't even know what a creek is, but when my human pet pronounced it, it seemed to be spelled more like "crick". Is this a common problem you all experience, this human 'flavor' added to your proper names?

I'm glad your jury duty ended, feline mom. It stinks to sit for so long for so little. We hope your pop feels better soon!

The Monkeys said...

Good luck with the yard sale! Hopefully the weather will be what they forecast.

We're purring for Pop and Cal still!

Love and Purrs,
The Monkeys

We hope the lady has good luck with whatever that thing is called she is doing this weekend. Congratulations on your award that is pawsome. We hope you have a great weekend too.

Angel Junior, Orion and Sammy said...

We will be purring for all the goodies to be sold at the yard sale. We will also be purring for Pop to get some good results and for Cal to keep eating!

Does your Lady's work not pay her the difference when doing jury duty? Our Meowm thought that is what is supposed to happen.

Thoughts said...

Good luck to Pop, we are sending warm thoughts and purr-rayers!

Glad to hear everything else is semi-in-order. We are picky-choosey about our food too and it drives our Mom nuts!

Yay for no rain! Mom and Uncle Allen will be having a Yard Sale in a few weeks. Apparently, we have lots of 'stuff' that needs to live somewhere else. We just hope it's none of our stuff.

Good luck at your fundraiser!

Jans Funny Farm said...

Lots of news today. We can't imagine sitting on our butts all day on hard chairs. The least they could have done would be to let your mom curl up and nap. That's what we'd have done.

Oh, Jan says, no it isn't. Napping isn't allowed in a courtroom. Well, why not!

Jasmim said...

Now that the service of his mother over, you may get more time with her ^^

Cory said...

Hi we got some rescue remedy and a Feliway diffuser for Nigel. We hope it helps! Thanks for the suggestion.

Noir the Texas Tabby said...

Glad to hear Cal is keeping the weight ON. I think I'd like Cal if we met.

Tommy says she hopes Pop's MRI comes out OK. Plus she still wishes she was at your yardsale. I'm still not sure what that is.

I still like your creek!

Sunny's Mommy said...

That is good news Cal only lost a tiny amount of weight. I hope his next weigh in he'll have gained :-) I also hope your Pop got good news from his tests.

Good luck with your yard sale fundraiser today!
