One thing I've learned this week . . . |
|
Edited on Fri Oct-19-07 08:01 PM by Bullwinkle925
it's really a good thing in being a packrat. Since my husband's passing this week, I've thrown myself into cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I'm also picking up a rescue kitty tomorrow - Fiona! Think it will do us both some good. Again - thanks for all your kind thoughts. BW925
Upon reflection - it's also a good thing to have some Tylenol PM on hand as well.
:cry:

the biggest one I can muster. Best of luck with the new kitty and, if it's not rude for me to bring this up, a piece of advice, open everything before throwing stuff away, I know of several families who have found substantial hidden money.

I'm just sorry.
You've been very, very brave in such a completely intractable situation. It's good to have practical, achievable tasks, but still not so much fun.
I wish I could help.
I hope your kitty brings you lots of love.

16. As I sit her e and type this and express my condolences again. |

I have a purring kneading kitty sitting next to me...I think a new loving kitty is the best thing for you. Did you know that purring has been demostrated to actually lower blood pressure? And yes, I can very much understand how helpful tylenol pm can be during difficult times myself.....In the span of time that I was catless not too long ago, that was my choice of how to deal with my very difficult issues...:hug:
