missed 5-6/10 visit with Becky and Kevin

Tue 1/5/10 Went to breakfast with Becky and Kevin. Le Peep. The coffee was good. We talked about fur people and told jokes. It was fun.

When I am with my kids, I learn a lot of lessons about accepting humans as they are. And I'm sure that they learn the same with me. You can't grow if you hang around people who are just like you.

Sometimes, I'm sharp with people who push my buttons. With adult kids that isn't cool. At least not to me. So I step back and think and learn. Maybe I should do this more.

In the New Year, I want to grow into a deeper , calmer, more spiritual person. Come closer to God and the Saints.

Becky and Kevin have three cats. They just added a huge kitten. He weighs 13 lbs and growing. So far they are living in different states--Kevin in Ohio and Becky in New Jersey, but they are hoping to join forces soon. Then the 3 cats will have to learn to tolerate each other as house mates.

My outdoor cat, Greyling, came to call. When we came home from breakfast, she was on the roof trying to get into the house. Becky and Luke let her in an upstairs window. She loves being in the house and it's a shame that we can't bring her into the family. She and Becky got on like old friends. Greyling is so sweet and beautiful. I hope that I can find a home for her soon. The weather is getting sooo cold. She deserves her own family.

I taught class. Two new students. Very sweet. A young dancer and her husband. They live in Indy but still go to I.U. so they can't become regular members of the class. Maybe we'll see them now and again.

Becky and Kevin cooked dinner for Em and Bobby.

1/6/10 Getting colder. Greyling comes to eat in the afternoon, but not after. She usually eats twice.

I go to Dr K. He works on me for what seems like a long time. I've had some sore places in my back. Who knows.

Jessica (new at NM) was bitten by a spider. She couldn't be at work. I was supposed to go in early, but Kay knew that my daughter was in town for only a short while. She covered for me so Becky, Kevin and I could have lunch and visit.

Becky and I had fun. We redecorated a room in Durga's (on line pet)mansion. And mostly laughed. I'm glad to have someone to share Pet Society with.

I went to work late and stayed a bit later as well. When I came home, Em was here. I had most of dinner from Boston Chicken. I still wanted to make veggies and some veggie dishes for Em and Becky who are vegetarian. The dinner turned out well. Everyone had enough to eat. We laughed and told jokes. We talked about old times.

I haven't seen Pumpkin in days. Greyling didn't show up for her evening meal. I hope that she'll come by tomorrow. Kris and Dana may take her. I hope. Jahana also said that she might take the one kitty. You notice that I've given up looking for a home for both together.
