Remember about the new drinking machine He got for us? Well, I was just starting to get used to it when it made me jump. I had a bunch of drinks from it when the bottle started to let down new water. She tried not to laugh as I jumped away from it when it gurgled. But at least I tried. Kasey has only had about five laps from it, and He had to put the silver bowl back. He did put it next to the new bowl so we can get comfortable with it.
It was a day when She jumped, too. Whenever She remembers that it is the day for Her Crones, She jumps out of bed with enthusiasm. She sure does love Her Crones. They will meet this evening and She will get a peek at what Smudge'sMom is working on. I will tell you more about that later. For now it is a surprise.
Speaking of surprises, today She already got a present from Her PoetryGirl. She didn't know it was a present when She opened it, but there inside was some cinnamon honey. She loves that not just because of how it tastes, but because it is part of an Eddie-joke. Her Eddie talks a lot about bees and honey. She and Her Eddie girls always theme their gifts like that. It kind of binds them together, like their love for cats and d-o-gs.
Since it is Crones' night, She will not be fixing dinner, but that's OK, because She is so happy.
Later, gator.

Proud Cats
We can be proud of how we were on the alert today, and did not let Her buy a single thing. When She looked like She was interested in a bargain, I would lie down on the letters and make the picture go away. Oh, sure - She got a little annoyed, but in the end, I won the don't-buy-anything wars. She got another pile of catalogs today, but It is too much trouble to go to the computer and get on and buy stuff. She had a rough moment there, when She got a catalog full of stuff LW'sMom would like, but I convinced Her to just give LW'sM the catalog. That's where She is right now - looking at catalogs. But then She will get busy and forget about buying stuff.
Meanwhile, He is busy getting airplane models for His airport project. The club that He goes to about the models is working on putting airplane models in the two airports. It is a good idea, and She is glad He is having fun about it. He is also working on getting a DVD made about what people mean when they talk about god. He thinks people should understand each other and what they think about. I try to keep out of it, because I believe in cats. She hopes everyone will like His idea.
I hear Her in the kitchen now so I will go and see what is on the dinner plans. I know it isn't fish, but it will be OK. TTYL

Money Diet Cats
You would not believe the messages She got today that said She could get a bargain if She bought stuff and put in a secret code. She was very tempted, but managed to stay strong, and avoid almost all of the deals. I am sure that if I hadn't come up here while She was looking, She would have bought more. The trouble is, She really needs to go on a money diet. She has spent too much money, even though She gets only small gifts for people. Just look at this, Cofs, She says. This would be perfect for Mazie, or LW, or LW'sSibs. This would make my OperaGirl laugh, She says, and then I really have to lie down on the keyboard, or there will not be enough money left for kibbles! That is silly, Cofs, She says, but I don't want to risk it. It worries Her that if people knew how good She is at finding bargains, they would think She or He doesn't love them as much. I have made it clear that She must return to Her careful ways with money or I will have to pee on these letters, so She can't type any more. Kasey says she will volunteer to do that. All I have to do is say the word.
Well, I think the message got across, since She has left the computer bargains behind and went to watch a story about a mean lady who fixes people's beauty shops. That is safe, because She doesn't have any beauty shops to fix.
I think we will have the rest of the Thanksgiving turkey tonight. That is fine with me. Toodles.

Do-Nothing Cats
Every so often there is a day when we don't do anything. Oh, of course we read the paper, and share fingers-full of butter. And He and She check their messages and share musings with their friends and grandkids, but there is no work kinds of things. They just stayed in and chuckled about not having to go out in the cold. It is pretty cold, for around here, at least, and She put on a jacket over her dress, but the cold weather is the most exciting thing going on today around here. She just listens to Her Italian Boys, and Her MusicGuy's records. She loves days like this. I don't mind once in awhile, but I can write a better story when something is going on. I am kind of tired of talking about Her eyes, for example. The excitement is almost over. She can get those little glasses for reading, and for our computer, and She won't need expensive glasses like She used to wear. Ho Hum. I guess this is what happens to people who have their shopping all done for presents. Now we have to just sit and wait. It is a lucky thing that there are Crones to see, and LW'sMom to get finished with her school, or I would have absolutely nothing to say. Well, chow for now, bellas. And a shout out to my new cousin, Scruffy.

Widget Cats
She has this thing called a widget, and it shows a big black d-o-g who walks around all over Her computer. This guy digs a hole to bury a bone. He goes and gets his dish and begs for food. He brings Her a pair of slippers. He takes a nap. Of course She thinks this is so very cute. Well, Kasey and I think it is not al all necessary. We are much cuter than this d-o-g, and we take much nicer naps. What She tells us is don't be jealous. This is just a picture of a cute d-o-g, not a real one. You kitties have nothing to be jealous about. Jealous is a wasted feeling. Just because We think someone else is cute, it doesn't mean we care any less about you. I hope cats can understand that better than people. Kasey and I talked about that and decided She has a good point.
They are in a snit today because they got a bunch of wrong mail. They believe that means someone else is getting OUR mail, and that can cause us trouble. He called the mail people to complain about it, and they said they have filed a complaint. Oh, great. That will help us get the water bill on time! (NOT). He put the other people's mail back in the mailbox and crossed His fingers.
There is still food left over from dinner at Cleo'sHouse. All of us are thankful about THAT! Cheerio to you and the big d-o-g.

Black Friday Cats
When They came home from Cleo'sHouse, He and She were like a pair of sausages. They were stuffed and groaning. They sat down to watch TV, and in a few minutes He was asleep. He woke up to decide to put on a Netflix, and went back to sleep again. She says turkey is made out of stuff that makes you sleepy. I will have a chance to find out tonight, when She fixes leftovers.
This day is called black Friday, because it is supposed to make a lot of money for the stores. He and She usually plan to stay home on this kind of day, because of all the crowds. Today, though, She had to go to get another eye check-up. The doc says everything looks just fine and that She only has to go back one more time. On the way home They stopped to get something to eat and brought it home. After lunch, He went right back to bed. I guess turkey makes you sleepy for a lot of days.
He is going to watch the stories He slept through when He wakes up.
He got a pie for yesterday's dinner that was special because it didn't have sugar. Cleo'sMom wanted apple, and so did He. That's what He ordered. That's what was written on the package. The pie was beautiful. When C'sM cut it, it was cherries inside. After everyone laughed, He said He would tell the people that sold Him the pie, and maybe get His money back.
We shall see how that goes. For now, though, I have to chase my sister Kasey. Later.

Grateful Cats
We spent some time getting ready for tomorrow, which is a day when people talk about what they are thankful for, and then eat great big dinners. Kasey and I intend to do that as well, but we will do it here at home. They are going to Cleo'sFamily's house, which is full of people who are good cooks. He and She are bringing some things to add, but She didn't cook them. I have a special skill, She told me. I can order stuff on the computer, and I don't even have to put on an apron. That is funny, but it makes Him kind of sad. She used to be the best cook anyone knew, because Her Grandma was a cook, and taught Her. Now, She hardly cooks at all, but I like what She fixes. He says He does, too, but He puts ketchup on everything, so She says how can He tell?
He went to get His foot looked at, and the doc says it is coming along fine. He has to get some special shoes to wear, and He doesn't like them. If it saves His toes, and lets Him walk, how bad can it be?
One of Her friends rescued a little kitty that someone tossed off a second-story window. Her friend nursed to kitty back to health, and now she is a happy little kitten with a loving family. How could someone throw a cat out of a window? We are thankful for people who rescue little kitties. We have a lot to be grateful about.

Cats on Duty
There was no Thinking People group today, but They made good use of the time and worked on getting presents sorted out and ready to go into the mail. You would think that getting things all together would make Her room look neater, but it doesn't. It is just different kinds of piles of things, so Kasey and I have to continue cheering Them up. He and She are glad that they at least have the shopping done. I want Her to stop looking at catalogs, because She must not second-guess her choices for all the bags of loot, er, I mean gifts.
Every year He and She send Texas ice cream to Her brother, who is Abby'sDad. She got a nice message that it got there today, and Abby'sDad was home to get it before it melts. She sent a bunch of different kinds. Every year it costs more money, though, and this may be the end of the ice cream delivery. She will have a whole year to think about that.
This is starting to get me jumpy. She has fixed Her computer so that there is a big black dog living there. He mostly sleeps, but he does a bunch of other stuff as well, and He makes me jump when I am writing my story. I don't know how to get rid of him, but I will encourage Her to do that next time She comes in here. For now, though, I have to go give Her snuggles. A cat's work is never done. bye.

Dancing Cats
Kasey and I are very happy cats because of the news She told us. One of our favorite friends is Hana'sGran, and one of the best things that anyone can be is a Grandmother. You can see why the news that Hana'sGran is going to be a Grandma again has us all dancing with happy feet! This is the third grandbaby for H'sG, and the baby will be born right when They are going on Their boat ride. Since Hana lives halfway around the world from us, She is glad Hana'sGran has those special socks that help you be comfy on the airplane. Hana and her big brother will be so glad that their Gran will be there to help when the new baby comes. They love their Gran. It makes Her so chuffed that She has tingles! Now, if only Hana's family will move back here to our world..............
It is still nice to be able to see, so that She will see the boat ride places and the new baby with clear eyes. What She says is that you don't need angels to have miracles.
On top of all that happy stuff, it is getting close to when LW'sMom gets her paper that says she is through with school and can stop writing long papers about churchy stuff. It is only a few more days, now. She thinks it is 17. Her heart is so full of happiness that She needs some of that chocolate-spicy stuff that She puts in Her coffee. I hear Her making that right now. I must go and give Her an extra snuggle. Chow, bellas.

Sad News Cats
There is a lot of news going around about the people who are trying to make the country see about a problem. There are a lot of rich guys who should be helping the poor people get a little more and the most of people stay comfortable. The police are trying to make them go home and stop taking up space in all the parks and things. Now the police have sprayed some guys with a stinging spray, and all the guys were doing is just sitting there. They are not being rowdy, like when She was younger and the kids were against the war. These kids are against having all the money belong to just a few people. When the topic is money, She is paying attention, and She doesn't see anything wrong with kids just sitting there. So when the police sprayed them, She was very sad.
It did cheer Her up when some friends came over to buy His tent. These are people who live quite near, and they like to go where you sleep in tents. She says She would rather stay up all night than sleep in a tent. She is sort of like Kasey and me that way. So these nice people have the tent, and She can sleep where She is nice and comfy.
He has gone to a meeting about model airplanes, and She is finally working some puzzles. At last She has glasses that let Her see more closely. In another few weeks She will be all fixed up with Her seeing. That will be a happy time. So long for now.

Modern Cats
You know about us and how we drink water out of a silver bowl on the table. Well, a new, modern invention has taken over and now there is a big, fancy machine where the silver bowl used to be. He saw a picture in a magazine, about a kind of machine for filling a water bowl automatically. It looks like a great big jar upside down over a bowl, and water comes out of it when the water gets used up by adorable cats. (ahem). The only problem is, we don't like it, and haven't had a drink out of it yet. Oh, sure, I have another bowl of water by my kibbles, so I won't dry all up, but I wonder why He has to change something that already works.
She has been glad to have those temporary glasses that make Her see Her catalogs and Her computer. I am especially glad to see Her smiling a lot. She thinks She will have to get a bunch of those glasses so there are some wherever She is, because She knows She won't be able to keep up with all the places She might just need to see something. Do you know what HD is? She says the whole world looks like it's in HD. I guess that means everything is sharp and clear.
Can you believe it is almost time to send packages to Their friends for Christmas? She has a bunch ready to go, and He brought home some new labels for telling where to send them. I wonder if She has something for Kasey and me. Well, I'll soon find out - in just about a few more weeks. As for right now, I am ready for some terrific fish for our dinner. g'day, mates.

The Cats are Back
Yes, here we are again, dear readers, because She has finally turned the computer back on. Here's what happened. Yesterday, She went to get Her second eye fixed, and She was kind of bummed. She knew this would take a long time, and She was anxious to see. She could not have any co9ffee-the-drink, and nothing to eat before the operation. You know She loves those things. Well, yada yada yada, and everything was fine. He and She finally got to have something to eat and drink, and She brought half of it home. It was in a white box, and smelled like bacon, but I will know after awhile, because it is going to be our dinner.
Today, the doc took the bandage off and everything was OK. Whew. She could see with both eyes just the same, and all She needed was an extra little set of glasses so She could see up close. Now, when She gets back to the doc, She will get the real numbers for glasses to see near and a little bit far. The new ones will work until then.
Kasey and I are so very glad things are going to get back to normal around here, and more attention will be paid to cats. For instance, He got a package today that had a bowl and jar for making sure your furry friends (ahem) have plenty of water. Kasey and I love our water. And our kibbles. That reminds me, I'd kind of like some of those right now. TTYL.

Fuzzy Cats
The thing that is fuzzy is Her eyes. She has that operation tomorrow, and She had to put the drops in again. Now She puts drops in both eyes. The drops turn Her bad eye fuzzy. Her good eye can't see up close at all, so typing and reading have to be left to cats who take care of Her. I am warning you now, She probably won't even turn Her computer on tomorrow, because Her operated eye will be covered, just like the other one was last time. If you don't hear from me, it will be because I can't turn on the computer by myself. Someday I will have to learn how to do that.
There was rumbling noise and rain today, but I didn't go into the closet. I was too busy cheering Her up. She is anxious for the doc to fix Her eyes, but a little bothered. For example, She can't eat anything after Daily Show tonight, and Her operation is not til after lunchtime. No coffee-the-drink, either. I am guessing that Coffee-the-Cat will have my work cut out for me. Very high on Her to-do list is going to be get new glasses so She can read and compute. The doc told Her She would get a paper about what kind to buy.
How lucky we are that in a few weeks the eye business will all be over and the world will look bright to Her again. I need to go help Her with dinner, since things are looking fuzzy to Her. I think I sniffle chicken. Cheery-bye.

Out of Touch Cats
Oh, my - He started the day very angry and upset. You see, the phones didn't work. The computers didn't work. The TV didn't work. The company that sends the connection to us had a big problem - and it was even bigger when He finally got in touch. Luckily, He got His new cell phone to work, and found out the system was down. I'm glad I wasn't the cat who had to calm Him down. I think He scared the company, because they told Him they would give Him six months of a special channel. He was still kind of mad when He went to the first dentist. They told Him what to do about His sore tongue. Then He went to the regular dentist, and they told Him the first guy wasn't right. Do you see how this is piling up? I have never seen Him so mad. She told Him that His calm down medicine wasn't working. There were two big bills in the mail, but She said She would take care of it, and we began to count our blessings. By the middle of the afternoon, the phone, computers and TV were fixed. Then the good news started. The bill for His mother got cancelled, The bill for Her co-pay got cancelled, A guy wants to help with His airplane project, and She got a check for $20.00. All is good again and we are not living in the olden days, like we were this morning. I am knackered by all the hubbub, and need a really peaceful nap. Nighty night.

Quiet Cats
One thing Kasey and I really like is quiet. We don't mind the TV or listening to Her Italian boys, but weather noises and surprise noises bother both of us. If you know Her, you will not believe that She is quieter than He is. Just when I get comfy, He will sneeze or cough or bang something, and I have to get very alert. I don't what She would do without me warning Her of some noisy event. Don't let Kasey tell you that loud noise doesn't bother her. She is small, and not as easy to see, but I have seen her jump when there was something noisy. Oh, I love Him anyway. She says one day I will get over being bothered by noise. I hope She is right.
Do you remember my d-o-g cousin DeeDee? Well her Mom came over today to help Them with clearing out. DeeDee'sMom is one of Their favorites. I know that They love the whole family There is a darling girl who is the same age as Mazie and LW's biggest sister. There is a bigger sister who lives where She used to live. That girl is smart and funny and takes great pictures. The other is a brother who goes to school at a place kind of far and kind of close. That guy knows a lot of famous people and works at music-playing. She keeps track of all of them.
I have no idea what She expects to fix for dinner, but I hope He eats left-over spaghetti - and is willing to share. I have had a busy day. I think I'll have a little nap before dinner. Ah-dyoo.

Angel Hair Cats
Angel Hair is a kind of spaghetti, but it is also what you could call my hair. You see, every day I get a nice brushing. I jump up when She is on the computer and She stops and brushes me. The brush has very stiff bristles, which I like to use to comb my face. I rub both sides of my face and my chin on it while She holds it steady. That is the part I do myself. Then She brushes my back and sides, and sometimes my belly, when I feel like holding still for that.
It may be in my honor that She is fixing angel hair spaghetti for our dinner. She won't do that for awhile, because it is still kind of early on the changed clocks. He and She look at the clocks to see what time it is, and I depend on the clock inside my head, which says it is an hour later. Oh, never mind. I have to wait for Her, whatever time it is.
She is not so nervous about the next operation on Her other eye, because She knows what to expect All She has to do then is wait for Her two eyes to match up, and get Her new glasses so She can see the computer. I am happy to report that Kasey and I have excellent eyes. Kasey's are green and mine are amber. That's the same color as a tiger has. Grrr. Are you scared? I didn't think so.
I am shouting out to my beloved cousins. Everyone here loves you. Cheers

Autograph Cats
There weren't any appointments today, so She thought we would all just kind of be cozy in the cold weather. Everything was going smoothly for Her. On the other paw, He was all business. There were a lot of phone calls - then He went to get license plates for His new car. Next, He decided They should go and get all those papers signed that tell what to do if they get sick and die. Here's what I told Her. Get them signed and forget about getting sick and dying. She agreed with that. Off They went. They found out they needed two people to say they really signed the papers.He got two nice ladies to help with that. When everything got under way, They found out the papers needed two signers for more pages. They found two more people to watch them sign those, then fill out more papers. It took forever. I thought They were never coming back home. Well, the papers are signed. Now They need to make copies and hide those papers. They both wrote Their names so many times, She said She knows how a movie star feels.
It is good that the signing is all done, and that everyone was very nice and didn't take any money when They offered to pay them, but it made Her so knackered that She decided not to fix fish tonight. Drat. Well, She will be ready for some good snuggles, I am sure. Nighty-night.

Doctor Cats
Of course, I have been taking care of her ever since I came here, but today She went to see another doc - the one that fixed Her eye. She got all the info for the one next week. The doc is going to fix the other eye. That should stop all her bumbling around. If She closes Her good eye, everything looks grey and kind of dingy. When She closes that eye and opens the good one, everything looks bright and clean. She says WOW a lot these days. He has to drive Her to all these places, and the times are good, except for the one that's the day after the operation. That day They have to be there so early that She says They should go and sleep in the car park. That would make me very upset.
Between that and Her sore knee, She is pretty pathetic. She had to put some cream on it that makes it very cold. She says it helps, but She still hobbles. Well, here is the good news about that: She is fixing pizza for our dinner - because it's easy.
Tomorrow should be better. I'll let you know. buh-bye.

Cats and Crones
Today was the day that Crones have their lunch and She was so excited that Cleo'sMom could drive Her to the lunch place. She didn't want to miss this favorite thing, but you know She can't drive with two different eyes. It was wonderful to see Cleo'sMom and Sabra'sMom and Smudge'sMom. They had travels and adventures to talk over and Smudge'sMom showed them a project she is working on. These ladies are so helpful to Her that She is just overwhelmed with love for them. That is besides the gazillion choices of things to eat.
There was a close call this morning, though. Somehow, She twisted Her knee, and it really hurt. She started to fall down, but She was close enough to a chair so She fell into that. Whew. It scared me. I was under the me-table and saw the whole thing. She has been so not-falling lately that it put Her in a fix. She took some medicine, and pretty soon She was cheered up for Crones.
When She goes to Crones, She doesn't usually fix a very big dinner. This is a good night for some easy dinner out of the freezer. She was sad the other day, because She used to be a good cook, almost as good as LW'sMom, and now Her main skills are turning on the stove or microwave. I think the best thing She fixes is fish. She sees the doc tomorrow, so I can tell you what is happening after that. chow for now.

Actual Rain Cats
It was a nice day until I satarted hearing rumbling noise. She says we need the rain, but does it have to make so much noise whie it is at it? I was almost ready to jump up and have a snuggle when the noise came, and we all knw what that means: I have to go and check out the closet. It is dark and quiet in there, and I can make sure nothing happens to all His and Her clothes. She was glad to see actual rain, and the noise doesn't seem to bother Her, because we are all desperate for actual rain. It seemed to rain very hard, so He couldn't go get the mail until it stopped. The TV will tell us this evening if it helped our dry situation.
He is going to a meeting tonight about the people who build model planes and things. He was very good at it, and has an idea He wants to give them. It is about model planes at the big airport. She says it is a good idea, and She hopes the model builders like it.
He went to the store this morning, before the rain, and brought home a lot of noodles. She just shakes Her head and tries to distract Him with fish and chicken and vegetables. Now that He is eating meat again - if only a little - She thought it would be easy to keep Him on track so He stays healthy, but He is a grown-up, so there's just so much She can do. I vote for more fish. Tune in tomorrow to see what is on the menu. Toodle Pip.

Visitor Cats
The visitors were Her nephew from far away by the ocean and his friend from right here where we live. She is chuffed to know that if the young man comes to visit his lovely friend, he will stop by to visit Him and Her. When this guy was here last time, he didn't come to our house. This time, because of Her eye and short notice, they came here and had some root beer. She loves root beer, so it is a good feeling to share it. They weren't here very long, but She was so glad to see them and give them hugs.
It was a surprise to Him and Her that Kasey and I didn't go and hide from the visitors. Kasey actually sniffled them and accepted a pet. I checked them out and went back to sleep. After all, She says they are family.
He spent a lot of time on the phone today, and found out that there will be some money from His mother's insurance. He said they can put that toward Their boat ride. He is very excited about that boat ride and is planning every bit of it Himself. She is just as glad, since He can have exactly what He wants, and that is what He deserves. No one mentions Their poor cats. Oh, well.
She is also smiling about the news that LW had a good visit with her doc. The doc says not to worry, but he will watch to see that nothing is wrong with LW. We are all focusing love on her and we know the little sweetie will be just fine.
She is fixing some meat and noodles for Their dinner. She didn't think He was supposed to eat noodles, but that is what He asked for. What She will be fixing is tempting for cats as well. I will go and make sure that She has enough for all of us. Toodles.

Soft Paw Cats
Kasey and I have been thinking of ways to keep Her cheered up so She doesn't get mad at not being able to see right. Lately, we have found that attacking Her toes as if they were separate creatures makes us all laugh. Since we do not have claws on our front paws, there is no danger of Her getting a scratch. That would not be so much fun. Another thing Kasey has been doing is coming for butter when She gives it to me. Kasey would never take it off Her finger like I do, but she sniffles it and She puts some on a plastic lid and drops it for Kasey to lick. When She is cheered up by stuff like that, She forgets that She has to work so hard to see things up close. TV is easier, because She can concentrate on Her good eye.
She still listens to Her Italian boys, because She can close Her eyes to do that. There are pictures of them all over the computer, because they sang their songs in some cities here in this country, and lots of people got pictures with them. She enjoys that.
He was going to a place to look at airplanes today, but decided to stay home and do some work on His project of fixing everything that He has let go for awhile. She told me She was so happy to have him back. I think I know what that means.
They changed the clocks last night, and now it feels closer to dinner than the clock says. I will never understand humans. Cheers.

Guide Cats
I think She wants to pretend that She can see just fine. Luckily for Her, I am here to see that She gets where She is going and doesn't fall down. You know She is good at that. Mostly, I get Her to Her chair and get on Her tummy. That way, She can't go anyplace. When I have to get up to check some loud noise or something, She gets up and gets on this computer. We all know that bothers Her seeing, and gives Her a headache. He helps me by sitting there and talking to Her, and getting Her interested in His projects. She says She had almost forgotten how He used to be interested in things.
One thing that She is doing is checking Her money accounts. She wants to quit using Her bank, because they are wankers - I'm just telling you what She said. She is having a problem with Her automatic stuff. She doesn't want to lose that money, for goodness sake! but how will they know where to send it if She changes banks.l I don't know, but She will figure it out.
She is going to fix meat for supper. Here;s why. He took some meat out of the freezer, and instead of putting the rest of it back, he put it in the regular refrigerator and She has to use it before it spoils. Do you know what's funny? Sometimes She calls the refrigerator an icebox. I have to laugh at that. Bye for now.

Escaped Cats
Here's what happened: His new car is small enough to fit in the garage now, but first He had to clear away some stuff that He put there when His other cars couldn't fit. This explains why He was out in the garage with the doors open. My sister, Kasey, was in the house, and saw the door to the laundry room was open. When she went out to look around, she saw the door to the garage was open. Once she was in the garage, she saw the door to the outside was open, and - well - you can guess the rest. After one day of being locked in a closet, Kasey found herself free. He spotted her rolling around on the driveway, like our cousin Katy does. Here's the part that astonishes me - when He called her, she just came back in. I was surprised. Were you surprised?
She is trying to do things with two different-seeing eyes. It is hardest on the computer, when She has to keep the good eye closed. She looks through the middle of Her glasses with the bad eye, and can barely see. She is so curious, though, about all Her friends that She has to try. At least for awhile.
He made Their plane reservations for their trip on the boat.He is so very happy about that trip that I can't make Him see how worried Kasey and I are. She says Mazie's biggest brother will come and stay with us. That is some relief. We like him and he likes us. so all will be as well as we can expect. I'll try not to think about it until closer to the time. Lalala tra la. Oddy-ose.

She Can See
Yesterday He and She went to the doc and got one of Her eyes fixed. You know about that. Well it all went well, except that He got mad because they didn't call Him to sit with Her, like they said they would, and He was afraid something was wrong. When He saw Her, She had a big patch over Her eye and was kind of sleepy. When They got home, They wet to report that everything was fine and both of Their computers were broken. He was already mad from earlier, and now He had trouble with the computer people. Even Kasey was scared, so she went into the closet in His office and He didn't see her and closed the door. We all went looking for Kasey and finally He found her. Of course, I can't write my story on a broken computer, so here are two days in one.
Today She got up very early and went to the doc to get the big bandage off. She was afraid to open Her eye, but they told Her She had to, and She was amazed. She could see everything without any glasses at all. She was so chuffed. But that was just one eye. Now She has to wait to get the other one to match. Having two different kinds of eyes makes Her a little dizzy, but She says it's worth it. I gave Her a dozen snuggles to tell Her how happy I am about it. I'll report more tomorrow, if the computer is still not broken. Chow.

Eyedrop Cats
The important thing today is Her eyedrops. She has very important directions for putting drops in four times today. She has already done two, and Her operation eye has a big black middle, while the other eye's middle is very small. She seems to be wondering if this is a practice for the time between eye-fixings, when the two sides are different. She is not going crazy with it, but I can tell She notices things differently. She keeps closing one eye while She looks at things.
Of all days, She got nineteen catalogs in the mail today. I wonder why She gives money to people who want to save trees and then gets nineteen catalogs on one day. She tried to look at some of them, but between Her different eyes and Her already good supply of presents, these catalogs are not a good use of trees. At least that's what He and She said.
The TV showed a big bunch of snow where Her OperaGirl lives. Also where Her cousin lives, as well. She really does not like snow. Do you remember how hot it was here where we live? It just got cool a few days ago. When She saw all those pictures of snow, She said She was sorry She whined about the weather. At least it wasn't snow.
He and She have been very lonesome for LW'sMom and Smudge'sMom. LW's Mom is almost through with her school. Forty days and forty nights, She told me. As far as He and She are concerned, LW'sMom is already good at her job. I guess you have to have a paper to make the job official, like She had to have for Her job long ago. I'll keep you posted.
