I tried to get several photos of her but she kept moving. LOL The only time I could get a good photo was when she was eating and when she was lying down but her pretty face was facing away from me. She's also a talkative cat. I think the whole neighborhood can tell when she's at our door. She loves the attention and I have to say I do enjoy sitting outside on the car port just enjoying her company and I think she enjoys just having someone keep her company. She spends part of her day chillin' out behind out trash cans. We need to see if we can get her to go into the backyard. Not only can she chill out on our porch but there are also bushes she can hide behind if she chooses to. I'd so much like to bring her inside out of the heat but she seems to be doing okay.
What really has me concerned and wishing we'd never started feeding her, is if we have to move in a couple of months. Our lease is up in November and should the new owner chose NOT to renew our lease we will have no choice but to move and I can't help but wonder what will happen to Kitty if she comes by when we leave and there is no one here to feed her or love her.
I'm not really sure why she adopted us. We did resist at first the urge to feed her though we did put water down outside for her due to the heat. My husband, who knows me fairly well when it comes to cats, KNEW that it wouldn't be to long before I began to feed her. It's what happened with Drooler and Chance. Eventually I ended up letting them into the house. But back then I had a job and it wasn't to much of a hardship to add another cat to the family. But now finances being what they are it's just not feasible to take in another cat. I'm trying SO hard NOT to give into the urge to bring her in and introduce her to the other felines. We simply don't have the money to spare and yet I can so easily see her as a member of the family. And then there is the anxiety of what will happen to her if we have to move. Logically I KNOW she'll probably be okay. I'm sure someone in the neighborhood is probably feeding her as well since she does disappear during the day and at night and must be going some place and hanging out.
Still no closer to getting the money needed to get Sweetie Pie's teeth done. On a positive note, however, the cyst on her neck is reducing day by day and I'm so hoping it will eventually close. At least that will be one less worry.
Recently I was at a nearby Saver's with a friend and found a My Little Pony to sell on Ebay. I had the toy on the table when Sweetie Pie started rubbing against it. I;m not quite sure why, unless it had a scent on it that she particularly liked. I just thought it was cute they way she "loved" it. It might be fun if someone could suggest some captions for the photos. Either contact me via E-mail at Kleiaa@aol.com, or leave a comment and I'll edit this page to include the best captions.
The book I'm reading at the moment is another Harlequin Romance by Penny Jordan. Entitled: Woman to Wed? the book is part of a three book series about three women who touch a bridal bouquet and the subsequent relationships that develop after they've done so. This one is the first in the series and involves the Step Mother to the Bride. So far it's not to bad, it's keeping me interested and intrigued. Lately I've been in a Penny Jordan frame of mind. I tend to go through phases when I'm reading books...earlier it was Barbara Cartland and now it's Penny Jordan.
I started reading Harlequins when I was around 14 or 15 and have never really stopped reading them, even though I'm married now they still appeal to me. Although some people may think they are rather lame I like the story lines and I can often times relate to the heroine in the books. I also loved the covers. The art work that went into creating them always drew me. Sometimes the art work was more interesting than the story inside and I'd always try to figure out what part of the book the cover was representing. Now they take photos of the couples and put them in different backgrounds but back in the day it was good old illustrations.

Went to the blood doctor today. Dr. Gabir. He wants me to start testing my blood four times a day...twice in the morning and twice at night. He also stated that he might have to up my dose of insulin. At the moment I'm on 15 units. I was extremely worried. Having diabetes, at least for me, is scary stuff. He told me not to panic, which, I'm ashamed to say, I do do. He looked into my eyes and said they were fine. The one thing I fear above all else is loosing my eyesight. As an artist I need to see to draw. I'm not sure what causes my eyes to blur after awhile, unless it's staring at this computer screen WAAAYYYY to much. Another thing that scares me is ending up on dialysis. I may not be able to conquer it but I want to at least control it so that I can live a healthy life. After all...I still want to return to Hawaii and what fun would it be if I had to visit Queens Hospital to have my blood cleaned when I could be enjoying the sun and sand of the islands.
I was relieved to find out that my husbands insurance, which is Aetna, will pay for part of my testing supplies. They don't tell you when they want you to test (often) the cost of the supplies. Fortunately I have a meter already, I just was out of the strips. Although you're not supposed to reuse the lancets, I do to save on cost. After all I'm the only one who uses them AND I swipe them with an alcohol swab before sticking myself with it. I'm considering reusing my needles as well since I'm the only one using them. I need to cut costs where ever I can. It was $10 for a count of 100. They do last me awhile but if I run out and don't have the funds to get another box...reuse is an option until I can afford it. I see Dr. Gabir again on the 17th of September. Another up side to today's doctor visit is that I didn't have to pay for my visit.
Well that is all for today...I haven't forgotten about the Boots in the yellow and blue stripped dress. I just haven't finished her today and will post her tomorrow.
Until next time....ALOHA
