Oh boy, have a wretched sinus infection. Please pray for me, thank you.

Quickly then, a lot of cat stuff is being thrown in my face all of a sudden. Did I tell you? Saw in Parade Magazine where this kitty lives in a nursing home and knows instinctively to go sit by someone who is about to die. And kitty stays right there by the bedside until the person is gone. Wonderful kitty. Then Miss Orcas sends me pictures her son has taken and one just so happens to be of their kitty, just a gorgeous kitty picture, orange tabby all curled up and staring straight into the camera lens.

Meanwhile, when I'm cutting out coupons, lots of kitty koupons, like save $3 on The World's Best Kitty Litter. Oh, and in today's animal pictures sent in by readers of their pets, which happens on Wednesdays, I was kinda looking for a pic of cat and dog together. At first I missed it, but, aha!, there it was, a great big doggie with a little cat sitting on it's head. That's why at first I didn't see it, wasn't exactly looking for cat perched on dog's head. Well, the caption says, Cat appears to be sitting on dog's head. It surely did appear that way, in fact, I haven't figured out what other way it may appear. But get a load of this, the cat's name is Jazzy. Give me a break.

Oh, and it seems I saw something today on AOL about cats, now, what was it? My short term memory is being crowded out by sinus grief. Well, Oops! on that one. Anyway, it's Kitty Kapers for KEM, too bad she can't have sweet precious grey kitty. I was all ready to go get Earl Grey and then the truck ran over me.

INSERT KEM EDIT: Okay, so I went to AOL and was determined to find what I saw today. And I found it! At least, that has to be it, it was the only thing about cats posted on Wednesday. I kinda went archive-y. Pardon me, but I'm always very proud of myself when I do something technical. I clicked around and was rewarded with a today's guest blog that showed you how to make Catnip Mouse. It was a very cute project and at the end she showed a picture of one of her cats, which was, you guessed it, the spittin' image of Earl Grey, I kid you not -- I would never do such a thing. And 14 people had posted comments about how great this craft project was and three in a row said, Gorgeous cat, and another said, Beautiful cat, and another said, Our cats could be twins. Goodness, KEM could have said that, except blogger's kitty was grown. And except she doesn't have Earl Grey yet.

Well, you know how it is, interesting things on AOL and who has time to read it all and I think I thought I would go back to that Catnip story (or at least remember what it was about so I could mention it in my list of kitty material onslaught) and then forgot, then they posted new junk. So, I'm very proud, as stated, for uncovering it. And even better, I saw stuff in my poking that says you can retrieve lost emails and pictures, even from years ago. Now, THAT makes me deliriously happy. When I first started writing emails, I didn't save them and I let some stories get away that I shouldn't have. Even when dear Patricia told me to save everything. I take a while to catch on. Well, I'm sure you have to buy the software, but it would be worth it. And I'm sure it would take me MONTHS to find the stuff I was looking for, but that would be so worth it, too. So glad today was not a total loss.

Dear Lord, please let me sleep tonight. THANK YOU! Wishing all of us health and happiness and a heart for God. I mixed up that order a bit, but you know what I mean.

Oh, and no more walks until pollen clears, just can't do it. Even Jazzi has lost interest, mainly because it's a little warmer, and also I took her out just before sunset and she balks because she knows her daddy is coming home soon. Well, maybe that's the mainly part. Also, Mike and his son went out for dinner since I couldn't fix any and they brought home strawberry shortcake for lil' ol' me, which I love, from Bonefish Grill. That was so sweet that Mike thought of this, since they are usually out of it, the few times I've been there. So of course I ate it and now I have the sugar blues. NO MORE SUGAR, feeds the mucus. I feel like my head's going to pop off.

Mike is going to California. Maybe I should get Earl Grey while Mike's gone and see how it goes. I can't believe I'm even saying this, I can't stand one more affliction on my sinuses.

Earl Grey, WHY did you come into my life?,
